- Short: (V2.36 w/src) Sound FX for Windows/Screens/More...
- Author: Dobes Vandermeer <dobes@stealthmail.com>
- Version: 2.36
- Type: util/cdity
- Replaces: util/cdity/IFX.lha
- Requires: OS 2.0+, IFX_Big.lha or IFX_Small.lha
-
- See http://deathsdoor.com/dobes for the IFX Web Page, where you can download
- sound collections and stuff.
- This version of IFX includes the full source in Amiga E. Anyone who uses
- this source should give me credit for originally writing it!
-
- This is a replacement for UPD. If you don't know what UPD is, it's
- a sound playing daemon. It's use is that when an application, such as ARQ,
- wants to play a sound, it can do so quickly and easily by simply sending
- IFX a message, and IFX will select a sound (or other type of effect) and
- play it. Coincidentally, ARQ WILL send IFX messages whenever an requester
- is opened, so I recommend getting ARQ along with IFX.
- IFX also sends itself messages when Windows/Screens are opened,
- activated, resized, or closed, as well as several other things, such as
- a chime every quarter of the hour, and a replacement for the system's
- beep sound.
-
- Note: IFX is in no way associated with ImageFX, which is sometimes also called
- IFX for short.
-
- Some of IFX's features are:
-
- - GUI Preferences editor...
- - Replaces UPD
- - Uses datatypes when available, allowing one to downloads .wav's
- and .au's for sound effects.
- - Allows to execute a command line, call another ID, and much more
- in place of playing a sound.
- - It's FREE!!! (Feel free to send money anyway, though)
