The Switcher Pack
by Gregory Mathias Lemperle-Kerr
The following files perform random selections for:
a.) NeoDesk Pictures
b.) DegaDesk Pictures
c.) NewBell Digitized Sounds
NRPS:
The NeoDesk Random Picture Selector. NRPS Looks for a
file by the name of NRPS.INF in the boot root dir. If
this file is found, "USING NRPS.INF for paths..." will
be printed and this file must contain:
Line 1: path including drive for pictures
(without concluding backslash)
Line 2: destination path for the picture
If this file is not found, it defaults to my paths which
are 1: E:\CLIPART and 2: C:\NEODESK
NRPS then selects a pictrue based on medium or hi res
and copies it (using the screen as a buffer) to the
destination overwriting or creating the file. This version
has taken out the NEO option since I don't have any
NeoChrome pictures. (I think it was a NEO option in the
old version... can't remember)
DRPS:
DegaDesk Random Picture Selector. DRPS does the same as
NRPS with the following changes:
1.) DRPS.INF is searched for
2.) Destination file is named DESKTOP.PI?
3.) Default paths are
1: E:\CLIPART
2: C:\AUTO\UNUSED
NBRSS:
NewBell Random Sound Selector. Since NewBell allows only
ten sounds in NEWBELL.DAT, NBRSS will search the path
listed in the first file of NEWBELL.DAT, select a .SND
file, and rewrite NEWBELL.DAT containing only that sound
file. If NEWBELL.DAT is non existant, it will default
to C:\AUTO\SOUNDS\*.SND. This provides the added feature
that you will never have to update NEWBELL.DAT with the
sound files you add. NBRSS selects one at random from
the folder, looking only for the .SND extension.
NOTES:
I do not use any .INF files for DRPS and NRPS, if there
is a bug in these options (probably not), let me know
before May '90 at cs325ec@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu or else configure
your hard disks to match mine :-).
Sources should be included in this archive. These files are PD
(boy how nice of me). The C sources were compiled under TURBO C
version 2.0 (an ansi compiler).
