for Microsoft Windows
2.0
(C) Copyright 1993 from Dave Smith
====== NEWS RELEASE ===================================================
It's here. After two years, SFX for Windows has returned. Version
2.0 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 3,500 downloads from CompuServe
Information Service, great reviews in magazines, and over 200
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:
"Rated as one of the TOP Windows Programs on CompuServe, 1993 review"
"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
Run INSTALL.BAT
It automatically copies all of the .EXE files into \WINDOWS
Then, it copies a new SoundFX .GRP file into your 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!
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.
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 50 SounCONs now available?
Sound Effects for Windows 2.0 has a grand total of FIFTY
icons that you can place anywhere on your desktop.
Get all 50 effects, plus the BIG SOUND PACKAGE (SoundFX 7)
for only $20.00
That include over 200 sounds, TSR effects, all 50 Windows
sounds, programmer's library, speaker control + more.
