- ==== Author's Comments ===============================================
-
- Sound Effects 5 is the product of eight month'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 FX 4 were amazing...
- Reviews coming in say:
-
- "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."

-
-
- ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
- │ NOTE: These sounds are compressed into a file called "Play"│
- │ which is the utility XEQ.COM, renamed for typing │
- │ convenience. See "CREDITS" below for details. │

-
-
- 1) NOISE.EXE
-
- Usage: NOISE [delay] [frequency] [frequency] [frequency] [...etc
-
- NOISE ? displays the help screen
-
- This program allows you to specify a delay, then as many frequencies
- of tones you can fit on the command-line (127 chars).
-
- NOISE now supports musical notes !
-
- Notes are A-G, and are entered on the command-line instead of frequencies.
-
- Examples: NOISE 100 A G D D B C G
- NOSIE 300 A 202 G 453 A 295 1843
-
- Notice that frequencies and notes may be combined !
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- 2) RAND.EXE
-
- Usage: RAND [a] [b] [c] [d]
-
- a = Highest Frequency of The Tones
- b = Number of Tones
- c = Duration of Tone [milliseconds]
- d = Time Between Tones [milliseconds]
-
- RAND ? displays the help screen
-
- Rand creates random tones dependent upon the maximum number you specify.
- It "thinks up" a tone between 1 and your specified number, plays
- that tone for a specified interval, then pauses a specified interval
- until playing the next tone.
-
- For interesting examples:
-
- RAND 20000 200 10 40
-
- Plays 200 tones between 1 and 20,000, playing those tones
- for 10 milliseconds, then pausing 40 milliseconds until
- the next one.
-
- RAND 103 120 240 111
-
- Plays 120 tones between 1 and 103, playing those tones
- for 240 milliseconds, then pausing 111 milliseconds until
- the next one.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- 3) STOP#GO.EXE
-
- Usage: STOP#GO [method] [frequency] [duration]
-
- STOP#GO ? displays the help screen
-
- Methods include:
-
- 1 - play frequency until key is pressed
- 2 - turn sound on and off as keys are pressed
- 3 - play non-stop frequency
- 4 - play frequency for "duration" specified above
- 5 - turn sound on and off, pausing "duration" before alternating
-
- Press [ESC] anytime to abort program, and remember that
- "duration" is in milliseconds
-
-
- Examples: STOP#GO 1 600 plays a 600 frequency tone until any key
- is pressed
-
- STOP#GO 2 700 plays a 700 frequency tone, and when a key is
- pressed, turns tone off.
- When another key is pressed, turns tone back
- on, and continues alternating ....
-
- STOP#GO 3 700 plays a continuous 700 frequency tone
-
- STOP#GO 4 700 200 plays the 700 frequency tone for 200 milliseconds
-
- STOP#GO 5 700 20 toggles the 700 frequency tone
- on and off for 20 milliseconds
- between sets.
- (sounds similar to an alarm !)
-
-
-
-
-
- 4) UP#DOWN.EXE
-
- Usage: UP#DOWN [start-frequency]
-
- UP#DOWN ? displays help screen
-
-

-
- DOWN ARROW Subtract 1 from frequency
-
- PAGE UP Add 10 to frequency
-
- PAGE DOWN Subtract 10 from frequency
-
- HOME Add 100 to frequency
-
- END Subtract 100 from frequency
-
- NUMBERS 1-9 Go to frequency 100 - 900

- =======================================================================
-
-
- I would like to thank the following people for their help and support
- for this program:
-
- 1] Bill Cravener for his undying enthusiasm and encouragement through
- Compuserve's E-Mail and over the phone. He is an excellent
- programmer, and truly sets the standard for ASM hacking.
-
- 2] My wife, for staying up with me and answering stupid questions
- through all hours of the day and night.
-
- 3] Colin Stearman, who gave me the rights to his wonderful program
- XEQ so that my compression dream could become a reality.
-
- His program XEQ.COM consolidates many .COM files into one main
- file in order to save disk space.
-
- He can be contacted on Compuserve: 71036,256, or his utility
- may be downloaded from the "IBMSYS" forum, library 1,
- or purchased from a major shareware vendor.
