RA_NDOM v2.0 - By Brian Tardiff
A HysteriaWare RemoteAccess Utility This program is Public Domain!
(508)465-3198 / 1:324/174 (HST)
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Introduction
════════════
RA_NDOM ('Random') is a utility designed to give you a variety in
what you hear everytime a user pages you. You can have up to 999
different paging files and RA_NDOM will make the active file change
for every caller. This program simply changes the current PAGE.RA
file for every call. PAGE.RA is the file that Remote Access reads
to determine how to 'beep' when a user pages.
In addition, RA_NDOM has a built in 'Play Feature'. This will allow
you to listen to any page file before you install it to your system.
The 'Play Feature' will play the file EXACTLY the way that your
RemoteAccess system would. Hope you enjoy it!
RA_NDOM Setup
═════════════
Installation is very simple. First, you must edit the configuration
file for your needs. The configuration file contains only 3 lines.
Line #1 - The Remote Access Path
Line #2 - The Path to the PAGE.### Files
Line #3 - Number of PAGE.### files available to the program
The Remote Access path is the path in which the PAGE.RA file is
normally stored. An '*' can be used to tell RA_NDOM to write
the file in the current directory.
The Path to PAGE.### files is the path where you keep the page files.
They are to be numbered, in order, by extension. The first being
PAGE.001 and can go all the way up to PAGE.025. An '*' can be used
to tell RA_NDOM to look for the files in the current directory.
The Number of PAGE.### files is the number of available page files
you have. The minimum is 1 and the maximum is 25.
Running RA_NDOM [To Select Page File]
═════════════════════════════════════
RA_NDOM must simply be run between callers. The most convenient way
is to execute the program AFTER every call. It is also possible to
execute it before Remote Access is fired up, but then the user has
to wait longer on-line. You simply execute RA_NDOM.EXE to run the
program in this mode.
Running RA_NDOM [To activate 'Play Feature']
════════════════════════════════════════════
RA_NDOM will now let you listen to any page file! To activate this
feature, execute RA_NDOM the following way:
RA_NDOM.EXE filename
Simply type RA_NDOM.EXE and then the file you want to listen to.
RA_NDOM will scan the DIRECTORY LISTED IN YOUR .CFG FILE for the file.
If RA_NDOM finds the file, it will play it for you EXACTLY the way
your RemoteAccess system would. This is a handy feature so that you
can test the files before installing them.
Remember, running RA_NDOM without a parameter will execute it in its
normal mode. If you run it with a parameter, it will look for the
file and play it for you.
