- The Switcher Pack
-
- by Gregory Mathias Lemperle-Kerr
-
- The following files perform random selections for:
-
- a.) NeoDesk Pictures
- b.) DegaDesk Pictures
- c.) NewBell Digitized Sounds
-
- NRPS:
- The NeoDesk Random Picture Selector. NRPS Looks for a
- file by the name of NRPS.INF in the boot root dir. If
- this file is found, "USING NRPS.INF for paths..." will
- be printed and this file must contain:
- Line 1: path including drive for pictures
- (without concluding backslash)
- Line 2: destination path for the picture
- If this file is not found, it defaults to my paths which
- are 1: E:\CLIPART and 2: C:\NEODESK
-
- NRPS then selects a pictrue based on medium or hi res
- and copies it (using the screen as a buffer) to the
- destination overwriting or creating the file. This version
- has taken out the NEO option since I don't have any
- NeoChrome pictures. (I think it was a NEO option in the
- old version... can't remember)
-
- DRPS:
- DegaDesk Random Picture Selector. DRPS does the same as
- NRPS with the following changes:
- 1.) DRPS.INF is searched for
- 2.) Destination file is named DESKTOP.PI?
- 3.) Default paths are
- 1: E:\CLIPART
- 2: C:\AUTO\UNUSED
-
- NBRSS:
- NewBell Random Sound Selector. Since NewBell allows only
- ten sounds in NEWBELL.DAT, NBRSS will search the path
- listed in the first file of NEWBELL.DAT, select a .SND
- file, and rewrite NEWBELL.DAT containing only that sound
- file. If NEWBELL.DAT is non existant, it will default
- to C:\AUTO\SOUNDS\*.SND. This provides the added feature
- that you will never have to update NEWBELL.DAT with the
- sound files you add. NBRSS selects one at random from
- the folder, looking only for the .SND extension.
-
- NOTES:
- I do not use any .INF files for DRPS and NRPS, if there
- is a bug in these options (probably not), let me know
- before May '90 at cs325ec@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu or else configure
- your hard disks to match mine :-).
-
- Sources should be included in this archive. These files are PD
- (boy how nice of me). The C sources were compiled under TURBO C
- version 2.0 (an ansi compiler).
