  11.   The ICON OF TERROR is a cute little icon that has several .WAV files
  12.  inside the .EXE file.  When started, it plays a few cool sounds, then
  13.     minimizes itself.  Once an icon, it displays random insults and
  14.     one-liners, also making occasional sounds.  Doing anything like
  15.    moving the icon, re-sizing it, maximizing, minimizing, etc. cause
  16.                         the ICON to make sounds.
  17.  
  18.   Overall, this program is designed to be something fun you can sit on
  19.   the desktop, then ignore.  The occasional belch or glass breaking is
  20.    rather entertaining, and catches you by surprise most of the time!
  21.  
  22.   The ICON OF TERROR will be perfect for a Windows Workstation, where
  23.    somebody might be doing too much work for their own good, or just
  24.                the kind of person who wants to have fun.

  34. ===============  TECHNICAL STUFF  =======================================
  35.  
  36.     The ICON OF TERROR consists of 6 .WAV files embedded in the .EXE
  37. and also 100 insults + one-lined jokes.  The program checks the system
  38. timer, and shows a random insult, dependent upon the hundredth of a
  39. second.  The icon is the default Windows icon, since everytime I
  40. tried to install my OWN ICON, the dang program locked up.  If you are
  41. a good Windows programmer in Turbo C++ 3.1 for Windows and want
  42. to debug this perplexing problem, please contact me.

  50.  
  51.     NOTE:   This plays through your default SOUND DRIVER.  That could
  52.             include a SoundBlaster Pro, Adlib 16, plus many others.
  53.             If you don't have a sound board, please install the SPEAKER.DRV
  54.             speaker driver that is included in this archive.
  55.  
  56.             To install the driver:
  57.  
  58.             1) Load CONTROL PANEL
  59.             2) Click the DRIVERS icon
  60.             3) Click the ADD button
  61.             4) Now double click on the UNLISTED or UPDATED DRIVER
  62.             5) When you are asked for the path of the driver,
  63.                type in the path+filename of SPEAKER.DRV
  64.  
  65.             6) Click OK, then click OK again
  66.             7) Now you must re-start Windows for the driver to take
  67.                effect.  Once installed, the voices will now play through
  68.                the speaker (may not work on all systems).
  69.  
  70.                Note that the quality is greatly reduced, but for a little
  71.                speaker, what do you expect!?!?

  83.  
  84.     The author will not be responsible for any insults that the
  85.     user does not like, nor something the user takes too personally.
  86.     If ya just don't like to be insulted, just don't use this
  87.     program.
