  23.  " Variety is the spice of life, NOT oregano as many people believe "
  24.  
  25.  
  26.  This is really nothing more than a collection of nice sound bites
  27. to use in conjunction with Term. Term allows a different sound to be
  28. played after good / bad file transfers, modem connect / disconnect
  29. and several other events. Instead of having the same sound play
  30. for its event every time, I use a random file picker to choose
  31. from a directory of appropriate sounds. I add the following script
  32. to my User-Startup file so all the various Term events have a random,
  33. but proper sound on each boot-up of my system.

  82.                       EXPLAINING ABOVE MESS
  83.                       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  84.  
  85.  
  86.  
  87.  My random file picker is "FilePick", but others would work fine as well.
  88. Through the use of wildcards, Filepick chooses a random sound bite from
  89. the "Transgood" directory, for example.
  90.  
  91.  This happens within the "`" ticks.
  92.  
  93.  The Copy command takes the result of this and copies it to where Term is
  94. looking for the sound used for that event and renames it "Transgood.snd",
  95. which is the name Term is looking for. That's it, That's all!
  96.  
  97.  Now, there might be a much simpler way to go about all this, but it's
  98. working great for me!

  109. PLEASE NOTE: Of course the directory structure of the above script
  110. represents MY system and you should alter it to suit yours. Or better
  111. yet, restructure your entire system to match mine and it'll work for
  112. sure! ;-)
  113.  
  114. PLEASE ALSO NOTE: I take no responsibility for anything negative that
  115. occurs as a result of the files in this archive, for example, the
  116. Earth getting knocked off its axis. On the other hand I DO take full
  117. responsibility for anything good that occurs from the usage of the
  118. files in this archive and expect to be paid accordingly!!!!
