What It Does
------------

ZSNES SPC files coded by the ZSNES team. Best of all SPC Launcher is 
freeware.

-Initial public release

Installation
------------

Unzip SPC Launcher to the same directory that you keep SPCPlay in. SPCplay
must be name spcplay.exe. SPC Launcher requires a lot of VB runtime
files I have not included these in the zip as they would make it to big. The
runtime files are listed below I think they are all availble on the net. I
not sure which ones below are required but VB thinks they are.

Usage
-----

To use SPC Launcher run the application select which song you wish to play
and then press play. To stop the song press stop and press yes to the dialog
that appears. Couldn't be simpler. Don't try to play more than one
song at once Windows 95 doesn't like it.
