Enclosed are over 100 sounds, from phone rings to voices, all of which are playable through the PC SPEAKER. These are not simple bleeps or boops, but professional sounds that stand out among the crowd. QUICK START To get started quickly, type: SFX on the command line, and you will see a menu of things to do. Just highlight one, and you will receive an explanation or a menu of sounds to play. Just highlight a sound, and press ENTER. To escape from the menu, press the [ESC] key. ============= ENCLOSED FILES =============================================== The following files should be enclosed in your SOUND EFFECTS package: -----Name--------------Description------------------------------------ FALL.EXE Utility to create falling or rising tones NOISE.EXE Utility to create tones/duration/musical notes RAND.EXE Utility to make random tones STOP#GO.EXE Utility to create stop and start sounds at intervals UP#DOWN.EXE Utility to view frequencies through a menu TSR-FX.COM Terminate and Stay Resident sounds PLAY3.EXE File to activate sounds SFX.EXE Shell and help file for SOUND EFFECTS 6.1 SFX6.DOC This documentation SFX6LIB.LIB Library for programmers ARCADE2.EXE Windows(tm) playable-sound icons, require Windows 3.0+ BIRDS.EXE DOWNUP.EXE ECHOS.EXE FART.EXE FIRE.EXE INTERNAL.EXE RINGING.EXE SIREN.EXE ABEEP.COM Utils to alter the sound of the speaker CBEEP.COM Utility to control the speaker's beep DBEEP.COM Removes sound from inside any program CDBEEP.DOC Documentation for the above AHH.EXE High-quality VOICE files BURP.EXE CAT.EXE DROP20.EXE DROPGUN.EXE EYES.EXE HOCUS.EXE OSHIT.COM How I feel on Mondays (voice file) ORDER.FRM Ordering SOUND FX 6 Enhanced (only $15.00) FILE_ID.DIZ Description file for SFX6 =========== ENCLOSED UTILITIES ============================================= To play any of the many sounds: delicious space harddisk arcade1 affect illume determine bees karate fooling settle deadbird clatter2 style medley downup clatter force yomomma echos flanker expanse thrill fart expire direct ditto fire swanson vapor visual high sharkys maligned demon motors joseph glimmer error pulse photons plasma shirk ringing distress cautious blink siren bulges tingle chase wars tender compress magical bomb temper fervor stronger arcade2 ontimes update awaken bloop formats beamer flicker beep Just type: PLAY3 [sound] So, to hear "beamer", type: PLAY3 BEAMER to hear "formats", type: PLAY3 FORMATS For a help screen, just type: PLAY3 /? This is BRAND NEW! All sounds are enclosed in a single executable file. This makes it super easy to find them, or include in your batch files. There are many new sounds, so check it out and see which ones are your favorite! ┌─────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Special Utilities Version 6.1 │ └─────────────────────────────────────┘ 1) NOISE.EXE Usage: NOISE [delay] [frequency] [frequency] [frequency] [...etc NOISE ? displays the help screen This program allows you to specify a delay, then as many frequencies of tones you can fit on the command-line (127 chars). NOISE now supports musical notes ! Notes are A-G, and are entered on the command-line instead of frequencies. Examples: NOISE 100 A G D D B C G NOSIE 300 A 202 G 453 A 295 1843 Notice that frequencies and notes may be combined ! 2) RAND.EXE Usage: RAND [a] [b] [c] [d] a = Highest Frequency of The Tones b = Number of Tones c = Duration of Tone [milliseconds] d = Time Between Tones [milliseconds] RAND ? displays the help screen Rand creates random tones dependent upon the maximum number you specify. It "thinks up" a tone between 1 and your specified number, plays that tone for a specified interval, then pauses a specified interval until playing the next tone. For interesting examples: RAND 20000 200 10 40 Plays 200 tones between 1 and 20,000, playing those tones for 10 milliseconds, then pausing 40 milliseconds until the next one. RAND 103 120 240 111 Plays 120 tones between 1 and 103, playing those tones for 240 milliseconds, then pausing 111 milliseconds until the next one. 3) STOP#GO.EXE Usage: STOP#GO [method] [frequency] [duration] STOP#GO ? displays the help screen Methods include: 1 - play frequency until key is pressed 2 - turn sound on and off as keys are pressed 3 - play non-stop frequency 4 - play frequency for "duration" specified above 5 - turn sound on and off, pausing "duration" before alternating Press [ESC] anytime to abort program, and remember that "duration" is in milliseconds Examples: STOP#GO 1 600 plays a 600 frequency tone until any key is pressed STOP#GO 2 700 plays a 700 frequency tone, and when a key is pressed, turns tone off. When another key is pressed, turns tone back on, and continues alternating .... STOP#GO 3 700 plays a continuous 700 frequency tone STOP#GO 4 700 200 plays the 700 frequency tone for 200 milliseco STOP#GO 5 700 20 toggles the 700 frequency tone on and off for 20 milliseconds between sets. (sounds similar to an alarm !) 4) UP#DOWN.EXE Usage: UP#DOWN [start-frequency] UP#DOWN ? displays help screen The following keys are valid: UP ARROW Add 1 to frequency DOWN ARROW Subtract 1 from frequency PAGE UP Add 10 to frequency PAGE DOWN Subtract 10 from frequency HOME Add 100 to frequency END Subtract 100 from frequency NUMBERS 1-9 Go to frequency 100 - 900 5) FALL.EXE Usage: FALL [start] [stop] [delay] Fall allows you to have a "falling" or "rising" sound, similar to the one used in the BOMB. To have a "falling" sound, specify a starting frequency [start] higher than the stopping frequency [stop]. To create a "rising" sound, have the [start] lower than [stop]. FALL 100 2000 3 would make a rising sound from 100 to 2000, with a 3 millisecond delay between the tones. FALL 400 10 40 would make a falling sound from 400 down to 10, with a 40 ms. delay between them. NOTE: The larger the delay, the slower the "fall" or "rise" occurs. 6) TSR-FX.COM Installs the program in memory and allows you to access 8 sound effects from inside any other program, or on the command line directly. Once you have installed Sound Effects, the following Hot Keys are active: ALT 1 - "Bee" Sound ALT 2 - Three Bird Chirps ALT 3 - Lasers Fired ALT 4 - Echoing "Spacey" Sounds ALT 5 - Arcade Sounds ALT 6 - Vibrating Sounds ALT 7 - Phone Ringing ALT 8 - Deadbird Sounds 7) SFX6LIB.LIB (Brand new! greatly enhanced for faster computers ) The SoundFX library is for programmers to use to include some of the noises in their programs. Using the library only adds about 10K to your programs, and enhances them greatly. They are written in Turbo C++ and can be used in this manner: extern void vapor(void); main(){ vapor(); } To compile, include SFX6LIB.LIB in your project, or use the command line: TCC myprog.c SFX6LIB.LIB (whereas MYPROG.C is your program, and using Turbo C++) If you are unsure of how to use libraries or functions in your programs, please consult your "C" reference manual. Here are the possible functions: delicious(); space(); harddisk(); arcade1(); affect(); illume(); determine(); bees(); karate(); fooling(); settle(); deadbird(); clatter2(); style(); medley(); downup(); clatter(); force(); yomomma(); echos(); flanker(); expanse(); thrill(); fart(); expire(); direct(); ditto(); fire(); swanson(); vapor(); visual(); high(); sharkys(); maligned(); demon(); motors(); joseph(); glimmer(); error(); pulse(); photons(); plasma(); shirk(); ringing(); distress(); cautious(); blink(); siren(); bulges(); tingle(); chase(); wars(); tender(); compress(); magical(); bomb(); temper(); fervor(); stronger(); arcade2(); ontimes(); update(); awaken(); bloop(); formats(); beamer(); flicker(); Beep(); ============= SOUND EFFECTS 6 Enhanced ======================================== This version of Sound FX is freeware. You may distribute it in any manner you'd like, and charge no more than $10.00 per disk for its distribution. I repeat, SOUND EFFECTS 6.1 is free.
