How do I start it?

1. unzip the file to a folder on your hard drive - for example

     c:\meap

2. navigate to the "bin" directory, for example

     c:\meap\MEAPsoft-1.1.1\bin

3. double click the MEAPsoft.jar file
4. play around with it - note that it only accepts wav files in this release.

If you experience crashes when trying to process long files, and you have some additional RAM on your computer, try giving the application more memory by starting it from the command line with an additional memory command: Once you're in the correct path on the command line (c:\meap\MEAPsoft-1.1.1\bin in this example), type

	java -jar -mx512m MEAPsoft.jar

That would start the GUI with 512Mb reserved.
