Well, You finally managed to install things, otherwise it would be quite
impossible to get down here...
How to use it....
This crap started, when Rex and JP added the 'UNKNOWN_CMD' alias to the
command interpeter, which was called, whenever you would normally get
Bad command or filename.. -or- Unknown command ...
So, to use the system-beeps (in the BEEP directory) are executed when
sysbeep.exe is run. When you add the following to your aliases, you'll
get a randomly chosen error sound thru your SoundBlaster (compatible)
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ c:\alias unknown_cmd = `echo Maybe YOU can do this: %&^sysbeep` │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
The program uses executable samples. Included with the package was a
utility VOC2EXE which can build an executable from a VOC-file.
The VOC-Player should run on every SoundBlaster compatible card, but I
can not garantee this. Please send _any_ bugs etc to us.
The config files (.CFG) are read by the programs, and they can be created
either by hand, or using the EXE2CFG utility. You should start the
EXE2CFG utility from the directory in which your samples (the .EXE files
created with VOC2EXE) are and give the name of the configuration file you
want to create on the commandline.
i.e. C:\DOS\BEEP>EXE2CFG ..\SYSBEEP.CFG
...read the help of EXE2CFG for more information...
Adding login.exe in your path statement, and in your autoexec.bat
(or equivalent), will make some noise when you turn your machine into
action.. the same goes for those people, who like to 'LOG OFF' their
computer, (As I do) flushing delayed-writes etc. You now can
let your computer create a great noise, when you add the program
LOGOFF.EXE to your alias/batch file which is used to flush cache..
...fiddle a little with it, and tell us whatever you think about it...
