- included in their original form without any additions, deletions or

- Source text of this program is included in the distribution. You can freely

- In this case, you must mention the name of original author, change the name of
- the product (not only by increasing the version), and obey all of the
- distribution rules mentioned above.

- Introduction
- ============
-
- Some people are connected to a digital telephone exchange which allows
- to use DTMF (dual-tone) dialing, but don't have a modem to dial with. This
- simple utility tries to dial the numbers through standard audio output.
-
- Features:
-
- - requires Kickstart 2.04 or higher and the ss.library V5 or higher
- (can be found on the Aminet in archive SSLib<version>.lha)
-
- - dialing speed can be set
-
- - the number or file to be dialed can be entered as a command-line
- parameter
-
- - nice user interface using MUI (Magic User Inteface © Stefan Stuntz).
- Doesn't require the MUI if run with given number as an argument.
-
- - DTMF is pure and can be made resident. -- Very useful :-)
-
- - Source code in assembly included, allowing custom modification.
- Also can serve as an example how to write good space-efficient code
- using MUI (But isn't it better to use Triton that has the same
- capabilities and is four times shorter? ... When I have written this,
- Triton didn't exist and I'm too lazy to rewrite it now.). The original
- MUI macros are very bad. :-(
-
-
- Usage
- =====
-
- DTMF may be called either from the CLI or from the Workbench.
-
- If started from the CLI, it has the following options:
-
- NUMBER - number to be dialed. If not specified, GUI mode entered.
- 0-9, #, * and A-D digits are recognised. All other characters are
- treated as spaces.
-
- RATE/K - duration of one digit in miliseconds. The inter-digit space
- has the same length.
-
- FILE/K - file you want to dial, processed as if entered as NUMBER.
-
- If started from the Workbench, these options can be specified by the
- tool types (you can make a project icon to dial some number...).
