- various code fragments and much help from Scott Ellis
- ------
-
- Spam-Server is a small utility whose lone function is to alert a user by voice,
- beep, or print that a file has been accessed and closed by the system. It's
- specific application, or why it was written in the first place, was to alert the
- masterful 3D artist Spamgod by voice samples that each frame of animations that he
- was rendering was finished.
-
- Spam-Server features:
- An appicon with the icon image user selectable. The appicon will also be named
- as the current frame Spam-Server is waiting on, and a double click of the appicon
- will exit the program.
-
- Selectable directory for the samples.
-
- Selectable sample player.
-
- Option to use voice samples or printed output to a window.
-
- Option to beep the screen accompanying the voice or printed notification.
-
- Option to move the samples into a directory in RAM: for speed.
-
- Option to make the sample player resident for speed. (uses "resident <x> force")
-
- All options are available as either CLI arguments or icon tooltypes.
-
- --------
-
- Special thanks goes to Scott Ellis, whose Sabot program is the basis of
- Spam-Server. Much of the code is exactly the same, and he gave me a lot of help
- in learning how file notification works.
-
- Also, thanks to Linda Rosul, Spamgod's roommate, for the excellent quality
- samples.

-
- Upgrades to Spam-Server are possible-- I have a couple of ideas. If you have any
- feel free to make comments or suggestions. Email to:
