RANDOM .VOC PROGRAM
Version 1.0
Robert J. Evans
This program will randomly play a Sound Blaster .VOC file from a directory
of such files. It will use the Sound Blaster Card if you have one but it
is not necessary.
The first thing you need to do is configure the program for your computer,
you do this by changing the file RNDSND.CFG. This file contains the path
and filename of your favorite Sound Blaster .VOC player program such as
1) VOUT.EXE - Came with the original SB card
2) VPLAY.EXE - Comes with newer SB cards
3) VOC_SHOW.EXE - Plays .VOC files though your PC speaker
You can do this with any edit program you like and by typing in for
example: C:\SB\VOXKIT\VPLAY.EXE
You must place a copy of RNDSND.CFG in each directory of .VOC files you
have. I myself have three directories
1) \WELCOMES - .VOC's that play from AUTOEXEC.BAT
2) \GOODBYES - .VOC's that play when I shutdown
3) \ERRORS - .VOC's for errors in .BAT files
I have put into my AUTOEXEC.BAT the following lines
cd\sb\voxkit\welcomes
c:\sb\voxkit\rndsnd
c:\
If you do not like seeing the program title come up everytime you boot up
add " > NUL:" to the end of the rndsnd line.
I also have a SHUTDOWN.BAT that I use to do any clean up work that I want
done when turning off the computer. Just make sure that if you use a
program to park the hard drive heads that it is the last thing in the .BAT
file
If you have any comments or suggestions, please contact me through
