Please be assured that installation is extremely simple, and for those of you using Windows 95/98 or NT 4.0 it takes less than a minute to install. Just download l3codecx.exe (227k), double click the file, and watch it install itself in a matter of seconds.

WINDOWS 3.1 or WINDOWS NT 3.51

Download SoundApp 2.5.
Sound Manager 3.1 or better is required, but is no longer available for download. However, Sound Manager 3.2 is included as part of System 7.5.3, so the Sound Manager won't need to be installed if you're using 7.5.3 or later. QuickTime 2.5 and later also include a proper version of the Sound Manager. Please visit Sound America for more information.
