BONG v1.02s November 12, 1995 Copyright c. 1995 Oh My Goddess! All Rights Reserved. INTRODUCTION BONG is a ShareWare animation player/screensaver for Windows. BONG uses script files to display FLC and FLI animation, and DIB, RLE, and BMP image files. FLI and FLC animations are widely available on local BBS's, the Internet, Compuserve, and other online services. NEW USER HINTS BONG comes with a default script, BONG.AAS. This script can be used without modification. It can also be edited with BONG to cut and paste animations and images. You can also change the duration, playback speed, and more. The ability to create custom scripts is easily learned, and is well worth the short time you will spend to master it. The best way to learn how to use the script editor is to fool around with it for a few minutes. Try double-clicking on the [..] symbol in the directories listbox of the script editor to navigate around on your hard drive. Play with the buttons. With a little experimentation, you should be able to add MID and WAV sound files to your scripts, provided you have a sound card that supports general midi (most do). If you have a CD-ROM drive, you can also play CD audio from a script. There are two additional script files MIDI.AAS and CDAUDIO.AAS to help get you started. They require the Windows MCI sequencer and MCI CD audio drivers to be installed. MIDI.AAS expects the file C:\WINDOWS\CANYON.MID to be on your hard drive. CDAUDIO.AAS expects to find an audio CD in the CD-ROM drive. If you need more help, try asking around on the ASOFT forum on Compuserve. If there is enough interest, We'll try to add online help in future versions of BONG. BUG REPORTS We love to get bug reports. Other suggestions for improving BONG are also very welcome.
