- Introduction
- ============
- Sound Scheme Manager is a program to manage the Sound Schemes found in OS/2
- Warp 4.0.This program can perform the following functions.
-
- 1. Create new Sound Schemes
- 2. Edit existing Sound Schemes
- 3. Test play sound files for use in Sound Schemes
- 4. Delete Sound Schemes
-
- This program was written by David J. van Enckevort and is released as Freeware
- under the following conditions:
- 1. The copyright on this program remains the property of the author, David J.
- van Enckevort.

- for data loss, loss of profits or any other kind of loss caused by the use
- of, or inability to use this program.
- 3. You are granted a license to use this program, you do not own this program

- Installation
- ============
- Installation of this program is very easy, just copy the three files to a
- directory and make a program object for SSM.EXE on your desktop. NO editing of
- the CONFIG.SYS is necessary. As long as you keep the three files together the
- program will find the necessary files. If you really want you can move the file
- HELP.HLP to a directory in the SET HELP= statement in your CONFIG.SYS. If you
- want to be able to access the help file without starting the program you can do
- so by creating a program object with viewhelp.exe as program, help.hlp as
- parameter and the path of the help.hlp file as working directory.
-
- How to use the program
- ======================
- This program is, I hope, very easy in it use. It consists of one main window
- and gives when necessary popup windows. Important to know is that you have to
- select a Sound Scheme before start editing actions.
- All pushbuttons, entryfields and lists have a helpline at the bottom of the
- window and context sensitive help that can be accessed by pressing F1. If you
- have questions about how to use this program I would like to refer to the
- online, context sensitive help.
-
- Bugs & Limitations
- ==================
- This is the initial release of this program. This program was written in on
- day, and released the next day. The core function, however where copied from
- another REXX program that I wrote before, and are well tested. The program is
- not tested with other versions of OS/2 Warp 4.0 than the International English
- version. It might, or might not work with other versions. At the moment I am
- aware of the following bugs and limitations.
-
- 1. No checking is done on the files, it is possible to select files that aren't
- WAVAudio files.
- 2. There is no possibility to select no sound for an action.
- 3. You can't type the filename in the sound entryfield.
- 4. When you change from an edited, but not saved Sound Scheme to another scheme
- the Sound Scheme list will not be updated.
- 5. You can delete all Sound Schemes.
- 6. You can save a new Sound Scheme without a sound assigned to each action.
- 7. When you create a new Sound Scheme, to each action ERROR: will be assigned.
- 8. When selecting a sound after your first selection the file dialog doesn't
- open in the previously selected directory.
