NOISE adds sound events for Windows 3.1 and more sounds for the 
Windows-system-sounds.

It displays two frames with six comboboxes and six checkboxes each.
The comboboxes display the soundfiles for the associated events.
You can change these soundfiles by clicking them and choosing a new
one in the then displayed dialogue.

----------

The upper frame contains the sounds for the Windows-system-messages:

- Standard                   - Information (Asterisk)
- Exclamation                - Windows-Start
- Question                   - Windows-End

The status of the checkbox next to the comboboxes determines whether
NOISE changes the associated system-sound next time it is started.
If the checkbox is checked, NOISE will choose randomly one of the six
soundfiles as the new system-sound. 

NOTE: NOISE will not change the critical error (hand) message.

----------

NOISE adds more sounds for the following events in Windows:

- program start              - active window maximized
- program end                - active window back to normal
- change of active window    - active window minimized

These are displayed in the lower frame.

The status of the checkbox next to the comboboxes determines whether
NOISE plays a sound-file when the associated event occurs.

The played sound-file will be changed cyclically according to the 
comboboxes after the event occurred.

NOTE: Because usually more than one of these events occur at the same
      time (each start or end of a program is also a change of the
      active window, programs call subroutines with their own
      window etc.), NOISE sets priorities among these events and
      won't play a sound file more often than every 2.5 seconds. 

----------
      
Below the two frames are four buttons.  

The leftmost with the caption "OK und zu Symbol" saves the changes 
into NOISE.INI and minimizes NOISE.

To its right, the button "Abbrechen und Ende" cancels the operation
and ends NOISE.

The next button, "Hilfe..." displays a help-screen in german.

The rightmost, "Symbol sichtbar", is actually no button but a checkbox.
If it is checked the NOISE-Icon will remain visible. If you uncheck
this checkbox and click "OK und zu Symbol", NOISE will not be visible
and you can't access it any more. You can still kill NOISE using the 
Task-Manager.

----------

Installation:
