[Audacity-devel] No longer Re: click6.ny was Re: click5.ny

[David R. S. <dav...@sh...>]

Hi Gale,

No longer clicktrack.ny.

I got into checking DMA in Win98, am taking a break from it. At least 2 
out of 3 DMA settings were unchecked, should they all be checked?

I grabbed the audacity.zip file fine. 7-zip gave me the message 
"unrecognized archive", so re-installed 7-zip (I defragged 2 days ago). 
Same message, even though I've 
unzipped zip files before using 7-zip.

Thanks

David
