- ====== NEWS RELEASE ===================================================
-
- It's here. After two years, SFX for Windows has returned. Version
- 2.0 arrives in celebration of CompuServe magazine, October 1993.
- In there, Sound Effects for Windows 1.0 rated as "one of the top
- 10 Windows programs". Now, considering the several thousand Windows
- programs out there, this is QUITE IMPRESSIVE.
-
- In fact, SoundEffects has over 3,500 downloads from CompuServe
- Information Service, great reviews in magazines, and over 200
- registered users.
-
- Thanks everybody for all your support!

-
- ==== Author's Comments ===============================================
-
- Sound Effects is the product of two year's work, many late
- nights, and even some days I called in sick for work just to work
- on the final product.
-
- The results of Sound Effects were amazing...
- Reviews coming in say:
-
- "Rated as one of the TOP Windows Programs on CompuServe, 1993 review"
-
- "Would you have any objection to us using SOUNDFX4 on the Cover disk?"
-
- -PC Today magazine
-
-
- "I'm a computer game designer for Sierra On-Line. I'm working on a
- new project right now and have need for a few PC sound effects."
-
- -Sierra
-
-
- Sound Effects was in the Compuserve "Preferred and suggested files"
- section (December 1991). In fact, every time CompuServe rates
- ANYTHING on IBMSYS, Sound Effects is nearly always included.
-
- =======================================================================
-
-
-
-
-
-
- 1) GETTING STARTED
-
- Run INSTALL.BAT
-
- It automatically copies all of the .EXE files into \WINDOWS
-
- Then, it copies a new SoundFX .GRP file into your Windows
- directory.
-
- Now you need to add SFXWIN.GRP into Windows. There are two
- ways you can do that:
-
- 1. Add the line "GROUP = \WINDOWS\SFXWIN.GRP" in PROGMAN.INI
- under the [group] section.
-
- 2. Inside the program manager, choose:
-
- a) Click on FILE
- b) Choose NEW
- c) Choose PROGRAM GROUP
- d) Type: "Sound Effects for Windows" in the description
-
- e) Press TAB to go to GROUP FILE
- f) Now type: SFXWIN.GRP
-
-
-
- The next time you start up Windows, the group will magically
- appear!
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- To include any of the SounCONs in your desktop:
-
- ■ Open the PROGRAM MANAGER
- ■ Choose FILE from the menu
- ■ Choose NEW
- ■ Choose PROGRAM ITEM
- ■ Type in the path and filename of your SounCON.
- For example: C:\WINDOWS\EXTRA\ARCADE2.EXE
-
- ■ Now your SounCON will appear in the Program Manager's
- MAIN or ACCESSORIES Window.
-
- The SounCON will remain in that Window until removed.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- 2) WHAT'S A SounCON ?
-
- A SounCON is a sound icon that is minimized on your desktop
- and remains minimized, permanently. Double-clicking one
- produces a brief sound, then returns control to Windows.
-
- You can then easily put a few of your favorite SounCONs
- scattered about your desktop, and show off your incredible
- ability to create cute sounds, or make yourself look bored.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- 3) OVER 50 SounCONs now available?
-
- Sound Effects for Windows 2.0 has a grand total of FIFTY
- icons that you can place anywhere on your desktop.
-
- Get all 50 effects, plus the BIG SOUND PACKAGE (SoundFX 7)
- for only $20.00
-
- That include over 200 sounds, TSR effects, all 50 Windows
- sounds, programmer's library, speaker control + more.
