INTRODUCTION:
Thank-you for downloading one of the many Windows creations of The
Computer Room! We hope that you will find it useful. You can continue
to use Random Waver for up to 30 days. After that time, you are
obligated to register. Registration is simple! Just send me a letter
with your name and address on it, and $7 Canadian, and I'll send you
your personalized registration code.
Random Waver allows you to work (or whatever) in Windows while
listening to your favourite sound files being played. Every few minutes,
it picks one at random and plays it.
INSTALLATION:
Random Waver is written in Visual Basic 3.0, and to run it you need
the file "VBRUN300.DLL" in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ directory. For the sake
of fast downloading times and conservation of space, this file was not
included with your Random Waver package. It should be available on many
bulletin boards in your area. If it's not, ask for it. Someone else will
have it.
When you have all the necessary files, copy RANDWAVE.EXE and
RANDWAVE.DOC to a directory of your choice. Then, start windows. If you
hate boring installation instructions for people who have less
experience with Windows, skip ahead.
In the Program Manager, double click on the group that you want to
have the Random Waver icon appear in. I suggest that you put it in your
"StartUp" group so it will start up automatically every time you boot
Windows. Next, click on the file menu and select "New...". In the
dialogue box that will appear, "Program Item" should be highlighted.
If it is, press OK. If it isn't, you did something wrong.
Next, you should see the "Program Item Properties" window. For the
Description put anything you like. For the command line type the
complete path of RANDWAVE.EXE. For instance, if you have it on drive C:
in the \WINDOWS\WAVS directory, you would type:
C:\WINDOWS\WAVS\RANDWAVE.EXE
That's all you need for now. Press OK, and it's installed!
USING RANDOM WAVER:
Random Waver is very easy to use. Double-cick on its icon to start it.
When you use it for the first time, you will have to select the drive
and directory that you keep all of your .WAV files in. You can do this
in two ways-
1) Select the drive from the drive list box and the directory from the
directory list box, or:
2) Type the complete path into the text box above the directory list
box.
If you have any .WAV files at all, they should appear in the file
list in the top right. To play one, click on it once.
The "Minimize on Use" option tells Random Waver to automatically
minimize when it is first started. This is useful if you have it in your
startup group. In the unregistered mode you can't change the time
interval to anything over 5 minutes. When you register Random Waver,
you can change the interval to anything between 0 and 32767 seconds.
The "Please Register" button is to be used only when you have received
your registration code. You would input your name and number at the
prompt and click "Verify", and the program would be registered.
Print out the registration form in the file REGISTER.FRM, and
send it along with $7 to:
The Computer Room
16 Catalina Dr., Hamilton, Ontario,
Canada. L8G 2M5
