I. Introduction for Excel Progs
Excel Progs is a small yet rapidly growing shareware development
organization whose members combined have decades of experience
in the computer industry. While Excel Progs currently is
focusing on Windows applications, Excel Progs has also created
computer-independent .MID (Midi) songs and is always into new
ideas for computer products on all platforms.
II. Current Product Information:
o Caniprompts
A trumpet player doing a wild dance... a sunrise over a series
of mountains... no, this is NOT another .FLI animation, but
what YOU can have over your boring old DOS prompt with
CANIPROMPTS, a shell over your old DOS prompt giving it
new color, visibility, and life. Be the talk of the town
(or at least the computer-user community).
o Excel-FND Screenshots
Screenshots in .BMP format of Excel Prog's soon-to-be-released
login game Excel-FND, a find-the-word puzzle game with plenty
of twists. Requires 640X480X256 SVGA to see the pictures
correctly.
o Midi Machine V1.20 Screenshot
A screenshot in .BMP format of Excel Prog's powerful sound
player/file manager, Midi Machine.
o Midi Machine V1.21
Midi Machine V1.21 is a .MID/.WAV jukebox/file manager for Win
3.1+ Midi Machine plays songs in many different ways: random,
shuffle, backwards, continuous, or combinations of the previous.
Album Load/Save is supported, allowing you to listen to your
favorite sounds all at once. Auto-play after drag&drop sound
selections from programs such as File Manager is supported.
Icon animations "dance" to the sound of your favorite tunes -
over a dozen are included with support for externals.
Command-line options allow you to run your favorite albums
and play modes at start-up. There is mouse-sensitive help as
well as an external text documentation file.
Midi Machine V1.21 is a state-of-the-art .MID/.WAV
player and file manager, combining many features
of other such players and adding unique features such
as icon animations "dancing" to the sound.
o Icon Animations 1-3
30 animated icons for Midi Machine V1.x, this pack
contains animations with a Christmas theme and our
"Notes and Staves."
o Icon Animations 4-6
30 animated icons for Midi Machine V1.x, this pack
contains a wide potpourri of icons, everything from
a coffee cup to moving fractals to fireworks.
o MALEK1.MID (MIDI Song File)
An alternative to the normal classical style. Auxillary
percussion (timpani, vibes, and bells) start the file in a
very jarring motion, leading to a string and choir
introduction and a temporary calming of the bass. The bells
return along with short bursts of the timpani. Vibes signal
the introduction of a softer mode, and the piccolo takes a
brief stint as soloist. Once again, auxillary percussion
commences as the string dies down and the sound returns to its
original state. At last, the timpani beats a few dying notes
and decays.
o MALEK2.MID (MIDI Song File)
This movement begins with a slight auxillary percussion base,
with the New Age/Flute and Vibes alternating melody. The
melody begins to get higher and higher; a peak is reached and
the base lowers. Soon a running part is established by the
clarinet/flute duet as the piece reflects beginning melodies.
This reflection leads to the first climax as the SoundTrack FX
rumbles in the bottom underneath the string melody. The Choir
takes the lead as the sound mellows. After its turn at solo,
the flute running part begins again; the song reaches its final
climax and toms are beaten in the background. The New Age
penetrates the lower voices reaching higher and higher, breaks
free, and decrescendoes to the end.
o Excel-PWD V1.0
Excel-PWD is a Windows application allowing you to create
difficult passwords "on-the-fly" for usage on bulletin boards,
Internet, or computer services. You can create passwords of
multiple types, depending on how long you wish the passwords
can be and what characters the host system supports in the
password. Also included is an E-Text discussing why passwords
are so extremely important in this day and age.
III. How to Become a Distributor Site
Excel Progs is looking for more bulletin boards and information
services to serve as distributor sites. This works well for both
parties: Excel Progs is able to send its software to a larger
audience, and your service has more to advertise about. Your users
know that the latest in Excel Progs utilities, songs, and games
(coming soon!) can be found first on your service.
Excel Progs is accepting applications on the basis of "first come,
first serve." There will be one distributor site per county. A
"county" is described in this text as a place which holds a telephone
connection to your service for the public (i.e., if you have a service
in Knox County (Knoxville, TN) which has an Anderson County (Oak Ridge,
TN) connect line open only to members, your site will be considered to
be an Knox Co. site ONLY. If the line becomes public and no site has
already appeared in Anderson Co., you will be considered to be a
site for both counties.
We are asking for services that have been up for at least a year,
show promise of being up for much longer, and have potential for
growth. If your service goes down for a small period of time you
will retain your site number when you return; in cases of serious
down-time the site number may be awarded to someone else. Thus, it
is imperative that if your service goes down for a time greater
than a month or if it is to go down permanently that you immediately
contact Andrew Malek of Excel Progs.
We are looking for "family" services. Note that this does not mean
exclusively religious services, just those that don't cater
exclusively to adult users. This also does not exclude services that
responsibly have adult sections hidden to the general public.
We are looking for public domain/shareware/freeware/post-cardware/
..etc services ONLY! If you are a pirate site or hold ANY pirate
files, then we appreciate you not applying.
Excel Progs is new, and is currently an organization, not an
official business. As a new group, you have the opportunity to be
one of the first to be a distributor site. In the event Excel Progs
formally is established as a business, your distributor site numbers
shall be transfered in the proper ways, if necessary.
As a distributor site, you need to keep up with the newest Excel
Progs products. We ask that you call The Other World BBS at least
once every 3-6 months, and, if you wish, in the meantime, acquire
all Excel Progs products at your convenience from sources such as
CompuServe (C) and Internet FTP sites, where they are uploaded
on a semi-regular basis (Feel free to call The Other World BBS
as often as you wish...the 3-6 months is only a suggestion for
software acquisition).
Regarding The Other World BBS, you will receive an account
and password regarding your formal confirmation (when you receive
postal mail regarding the confirmation). ALL Excel Progs files
shall be on The Other World BBS in the file area EXCEPROG. Just
type /GO EXCELPROGS to access e-mail to Andrew Malek, the Excel
Progs message area, and official file base. You may download
individual files or download the entire batch as EPALL.ZIP (all
such downloads are free from time restrictions to ALL users!) If
for some unknown reason The Other World ceases to exist, Excel Progs
will try all possible routes of establishing a new home board or
new methods of distributing its files.
To apply, simply print and fill out the form located near the end of
this text and mail to the address specified. Upon approval, you
shall receive in the coming weeks your confirmation letter, number,
and other information Excel Progs feels appropriate.
