 " Variety is the spice of life, NOT oregano as many people believe "


 This is really nothing more than a collection of nice sound bites
to use in conjunction with Term. Term allows a different sound to be
played after good / bad file transfers, modem connect / disconnect
and several other events. Instead of having the same sound play
for its event every time, I use a random file picker to choose
from a directory of appropriate sounds. I add the following script
to my User-Startup file so all the various Term events have a random,
but proper sound on each boot-up of my system.

                      EXPLAINING ABOVE MESS
                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



 My random file picker is "FilePick", but others would work fine as well.
Through the use of wildcards, Filepick chooses a random sound bite from
the "Transgood" directory, for example.

 This happens within the "`" ticks.

 The Copy command takes the result of this and copies it to where Term is
looking for the sound used for that event and renames it "Transgood.snd",
which is the name Term is looking for. That's it, That's all!

 Now, there might be a much simpler way to go about all this, but it's
working great for me!





                           VITAL INFO
                           ~~~~~~~~~~



PLEASE NOTE: Of course the directory structure of the above script
represents MY system and you should alter it to suit yours. Or better
yet, restructure your entire system to match mine and it'll work for
sure! ;-)

PLEASE ALSO NOTE: I take no responsibility for anything negative that
occurs as a result of the files in this archive, for example, the
Earth getting knocked off its axis. On the other hand I DO take full
responsibility for anything good that occurs from the usage of the
files in this archive and expect to be paid accordingly!!!!
