- SOUND LIBRARY for Quattro Pro(tm)
-
- Contains 233 sound files totaling over 3.4 megabytes, each optimized for
- playback with Borland's new Quattro Pro 3.0. The entire Sound Library is
- divided into ten volumes, averaging 348 kilobytes each. You may buy each
- volume separately, or obtain the entire set and save 37% off the individual
- prices.
-
- Our LIBRARY features Daffy Duck, Underdog, and those (ever-popular??) Teenage
- Mutant Ninja Turtles. There are sound bytes from Monty Python, Steve Martin,
- Mr.Spock, and of course we couldn't forget Arnie!! Included in our LIBRARY
- are the sounds of chimps and cows, flutes and foghorns, everything from
- Big Ben to a calliope. To give you a variety of sounds when purchasing just
- one volume, we chose not to group the sounds by subject. You will find an
- intriguing array of sounds in each and every volume.

-
- As your Quattro Pro sound file collection grows, you will want a way to
- quickly and conveniently play each file in order to judge its suitability for
- a particular project. So, with each order we include, for FREE, the latest
- copy of our sound player utility. This program plays your Quattro Pro
- sound files without Quattro Pro! Just give it the name of a sound file and it
- plays it for you, giving an accurate report of the file length in seconds. No
- macros are required! In addition, for use in conjunction with the player
- utility, we include a batch file which will play all the sound files in a
- subdirectory, automatically!
-
- The 10 volumes are supplied on ten 5.25" diskettes, or five 3.5" diskettes.
- (Please specify diskette size when ordering.)
-
- PRICE:
-
- $7.95 per volume, or $6.95 for orders of 3 or more. For even greater savings,
- you may purchase our entire library of 10 volumes for only $49.95.

-
- SOUND TOOLKIT for Quattro Pro(tm) 6 of 9
-
- The Sound ToolKit contains enhanced versions of the programs used in the
- creation of our Sound Library. Use it to convert sound files to Quattro Pro
- format, then cut and splice them to create special effects or remove unwanted
- sections. Your computer does the work: no razor blades or special tape
- required!
-
- CONVERT:
-
- Create your own Quattro Pro sound files by converting files recorded with
- Sound Blaster(tm) and other sound digitizing boards to the special Quattro Pro
- format. If you do not have a digitizing board, you can convert many of the
- sound files that are available from Computer Bulletin Board systems,
- Information Services such as Compuserve, and shareware diskette distributors.
-
- CUT:
-
- The cutting tool lets you quickly select a cut from a Quattro Pro sound file.
-
- It's like a text editor: Your sound file is displayed on the screen as a
- series of lines, and a moving cursor tells you at a glance where you are in
- your file.
- 7 of 9
- It's like a taperecorder: With four different playback speeds to choose from,
- you can play forward, reverse, slow down, speed up, and repeat, all at the
- touch of a key. The moving cursor always keeps track of where you are. If
- you choose, you can mark points in your file to within thousandths of a second
- using the time monitor and the cursor keys. Then playback your selection
- until it sounds just right, give it a file name, and you are done.
-
- In our opinion it is easier to use than either a word processor or a tape
- recorder, and more fun than both. We think you will agree!
-
- SPLICE:
-
- The splicing tool simply takes two Quattro Pro sound files and splices them
- together to create a third. It is as easy to use as it is to describe.
-
- With these tools, you can give your presentation exactly the right note or--
- just have fun!
-
- System Requirements:
- Computer: 10 MHZ 286 or faster, with DOS 3.1 or later recommended.

-
-
- PLEASE NOTE: We are scheduled to begin shipping our SOUND TOOLKIT in
- November, 1991. Orders received before that time will be filled with
- preliminary versions of the programs (as described above but rough around
- the edges), and will be upgraded without charge when the full version is
- available.
