You have the SOUND PART of the Sound Effects for Windows package
If you want the VOICE PART, download from CompuServe as SFXWNV.ZIP
or call Hogard Systems BBS (number in back of this document)
and download SFXWIN3V.ZIP.
Everybody keeps writing me saying, "I want VOICES that play
through my SoundBlaster Pro, or my Adlib 16 !!" Now they are
here! Real voices that talk through your sound board. Download
SFXWNV.ZIP from IBMSYS, library 4 on CompuServe Information Service
SoundFX for Windows is Shareware. You may use evaluate
it for a 30 day period, after which you must register
it. Registration costs only $20.00, and gives you 70
TalCON and SounCONs, unlimited free upgrades, support,
plus a disk full of 30+ great programs for evaluation.
====== NEWS RELEASE ===================================================
It's here. After two years, SFX for Windows has returned. Version
3.0 arrives in celebration of CompuServe magazine, October 1993.
In there, Sound Effects for Windows 1.0 rated as "one of the top
10 Windows programs". Now, considering the several thousand Windows
programs out there, this is QUITE IMPRESSIVE.
In fact, SoundEffects has over 4,000 downloads from CompuServe
Information Service, great reviews in magazines, and over 250
registered users.
Thanks everybody for all your support!
==== Author's Comments ===============================================
Sound Effects is the product of two year's work, many late
nights, and even some days I called in sick for work just to work
on the final product.
The results of Sound Effects were amazing...
Reviews coming in say:
"We want to include your program on the cover!"
-PC Windows Magazine
"Rated as one of the TOP Windows Programs on CompuServe, 1993 review"
-CompuServe Magazine
"Would you have any objection to us using SOUNDFX on the Cover disk?"
-PC Today Magazine
"I'm a computer game designer for Sierra On-Line. I'm working on a
new project right now and have need for a few PC sound effects."
-Sierra
Sound Effects was in the Compuserve "Preferred and suggested files"
section (December 1991). In fact, every time CompuServe rates
ANYTHING on IBMSYS, Sound Effects is nearly always included.
=======================================================================
1) GETTING STARTED
Run INSTALL.BAT
It automatically copies all of the .EXE files into C:\WINDOWS
Then, it copies a new SoundFX .GRP file into C:\WINDOWS
directory.
Now you need to add SFXWIN.GRP into Windows. There are two
ways you can do that:
1. Add the line "GROUP = \WINDOWS\SFXWIN.GRP" in PROGMAN.INI
under the [group] section.
2. Inside the program manager, choose:
a) Click on FILE
b) Choose NEW
c) Choose PROGRAM GROUP
d) Type: "Sound Effects for Windows" in the description
e) Press TAB to go to GROUP FILE
f) Now type: SFXWIN.GRP
The next time you start up Windows, the group will magically
appear!
NOTE: The INSTALL.BAT and SFXWIN.GRP assumes your Windows
directory is called C:\WINDOWS. If you have some other
name for that directory, you need to follow the directions
below.
SFXWIN.GRP is supplied as a convenience for the beginning
user, since it's a major pain to install each new icon
individually.
To include any of the SounCONs in your desktop:
■ Open the PROGRAM MANAGER
■ Choose FILE from the menu
■ Choose NEW
■ Choose PROGRAM ITEM
■ Type in the path and filename of your SounCON.
For example: C:\WINDOWS\EXTRA\ARCADE2.EXE
■ Now your SounCON will appear in the Program Manager's
MAIN or ACCESSORIES Window.
The SounCON will remain in that Window until removed.
=========== DROP PLAY - DROPPLAY.EXE ===================================
Want a quick way to play some .WAV files?
Drop and Play allows grabbing several .WAV files in Windows,
and dropping them onto the DROPLAY icon. They will then be played
through the Windows Sound Driver (your sound card). This
is a great way to quickly hear your favorite .WAV files
without installing a big application.
Note that the DROPLAY icon stays on top of all other Windows.
This is so you can easily crank up the FILE MANAGER, grab
a .WAV file, then drop it on the cute little icon.
Pretty simple, huh?
NOTE: Drop Play is not included in the SFX group. It is designed
to be a separate util.
=============================================================================
2) WHAT'S A SounCON ?
A SounCON is a sound icon that is minimized on your desktop
and remains minimized, permanently. Double-clicking one
produces a brief sound, then returns control to Windows.
You can then easily put a few of your favorite SounCONs
scattered about your desktop, and show off your incredible
ability to create cute sounds, or make yourself look bored.
3) OVER 70 SounCON and TalCONs now available?
Sound Effects Enhanced for Windows has a grand total of SEVENTY
icons that you can place anywhere on your desktop.
Get all 70 effects, for only $20.00
REGISTERED USERS GET:
o All future versions of Sound Effects for FREE (S+H is free)
o 70 Additional awesome SounCON and TalCONs
o FREE Update notices and bug reports
o FREE Evaluation disk of the Dave Utils
o Coupon for a $10.00 ShareWare CD-ROM from a major distributor

the 30 evaluation period
