You have the VOICE PART of the Sound Effects for Windows package
If you want the SOUND PART, download from CompuServe as SFXWIN.ZIP
or call Hogard Systems BBS (number in back of this document)
and download SFXWIN30.ZIP.
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 220
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 SOUNDFX4 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
To include any of the TalCONs 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 TalCON.
For example: C:\WIN31\EXTRA\FALLEN.EXE
■ Now your TalCON will appear in the Program Manager's
MAIN or ACCESSORIES Window.
The TalCON will remain in that Window until removed.
2) WHAT'S A TalCON ?
(talk - con)
A TalCON is a sound-VOICE icon that is minimized on your desktop
and remains minimized, permanently. Double-clicking one
produces a brief VOICE, then returns control to Windows.
You can then easily put a few of your favorite TalCONs
scattered about your desktop, and show off your incredible
ability to create cute sounds, or make yourself look bored.
NOTE: TalCONs play through your default SOUND DRIVER. That could
include a SoundBlaster Pro, Adlib 16, plus many others.
If you don't have a sound board, please install the SPEAKER.DRV
speaker driver that is included in this archive.
To install the driver:
1) Load CONTROL PANEL
2) Click the DRIVERS icon
3) Click the ADD button
4) Now double click on the UNLISTED or UPDATED DRIVER
5) When you are asked for the path of the driver,
type in the path+filename of SPEAKER.DRV
6) Click OK, then click OK again
7) Now you must re-start Windows for the driver to take
effect. Once installed, the voices will now play through
the speaker (may not work on all systems).
Note that the quality is greatly reduced, but for a little
speaker, what do you expect!?!?
3) OVER 70 TalCON and SounCONs now available?
Sound Effects Enhanced for Windows has a grand total of 70
icons that you can place anywhere on your desktop.
Get all 70 effects, for only $20.00

=======================================================================
1) Thank GOD for allowing me to stay up until 2:00am, then go
to work the following day working on this project.
2) Bill Cravener for his sound revolutions.
3) President's Health Club for having a place for my stressed self
to work out every day while compiling these programs.
4) Talk radio stations, for entertaining me through the years.
5) And to the odd dream I had, giving me the inspiration and idea
to create this utility.
6) Thank you Craig Arnush (TeamB) 71333,3052 on CompuServe Borland
Forum. The books included with Turbo C++ for Windows 3.1 are
REAL bad examples of how to write code, and he was a big help.
