Hi Alex,

David's absolutely right about IDL 5.4 and Spawn, but if all you need is to
get a .wav file sound played from the PC, you might want to try the
excellent idl_tools utilities by Randall Frank. One of the many marvels in
there is a sound player. It's available at:

http://www.rlkling.com/freeware/randallfrank.html

Then, once you've dropped idl_tools.dll and idl_tools.dlm into your IDL
\bin\bin.x86 directory, all you need to do is:

wav = Read_WAV('c:\winnt\media\chimes.wav', rate)

handle = Snd_Play(wav, rate)

(handle is not anything you need afterward, ignore it)

From what I can tell, Read_WAV came in IDL 5.3, so this may be possible
without the 5.4 upgrade, and you may prefer to have it all handled from
within IDL!

Cheers,
