SOUNDER.EXE 3.1 |
Copyright 1991-1993 Chuck Steenburgh & Tay-Jee Software |
SOUNDER is an advanced replacement for any number of util-
ities (with names like BEEP.COM or MUSIC.COM). Most of these
programs make a simple noise or maybe play a short melody.
Most restrict you to the same monotonous tones over and over
again. SOUNDER presents you with a virtually unlimited range
of options which you can control, with ZILLIONS (up to 10 to
the 400th power!) of possible tone sequences.
Usage: SOUNDER [note] [dur] or
SOUNDER [/Ln] [/Rn] [/Tn [+] or
SOUNDER [/En] [/F] |
note A musical note (A,B,C,D,E,F,G).
dur Duration of tone or note in seconds. |
Must be a whole number between 1-9. |
/Ln Base length for random play. Spec-
ify the base length of the series of
random tones desired in tenths of a
second, where "n" is the desired tone
length. 0 < n <= 300.
/Rn Repeat random tone sequences "n" num-
ber of times. 0 < n <= 20.
/Tn Specify range of random number of
tones. 1 to n random tones will be
generated per cycle. 0 < n <= 10.
+ Make number of tones specified by /T
switch absolute.
/En Use special sound effect number n, |
where n is one the following four |
types of sound effects: |
1 - increasing pitch |
2 - decreasing pitch |
3 - up-down wail |
4 - down-up wail |
/F Use in conjunction with /E on very |
fast PCs to slow down the sounds. |
The default is for SOUNDER to generate 1-3 random tones with
an overall tone length of approximately 2/3 second.
Examples:
sounder Produces 1-3 random tones for a total
Page 2
length of approximately 2/3 second.
sounder C 2 Produces a 'C' note for two seconds.
sounder /T5 Produces 1-5 random tones for a total
length of approximately 2/3 second.
sounder /T5 /L20 Produces 1-5 random tones for a total
length of 2 seconds.
sounder /T5 /L20 + Produces 5 random tones with a length
of 0.4 second each.
sounder /T10 /R3 Produces 3 separate sequences of 1-10
random tones, each of approximately
2/3 second length.
sounder /T10 /R10 + Produces 100 random tones lasting a
total of approximately 6.7 seconds.
sounder /E1 Produces increasing pitch sound. |
sounder /E3 /F Produces up-down wailing sound on a |
very fast computer (386 or better). |
SOUNDER returns the following errorlevel codes:
0 Musical note sounded
1-10 Number of random tones sounded (last cycle only)
255 Error in note specification/help screen requested |

author at the address given below. For those registering
directly with Tay-Jee Software, we offer a $5 cash discount.
Let's be real: I don't plan to make a lot of money this way.
Registration does have its advantages:
- I am improving these programs all the time. Registration
will get you IMMEDIATELY a disk with the latest version.
You will also get the next major release of the program set
sent to you free of charge.
- While I can't promise to include everyone's suggestions

in program updates, you can bet I'll listen to registered
users before any of you scrounges out there.
- You will make me feel all warm and fuzzy and appreciated,
and all that good stuff.
- You will also get an evaluation copy of my text file for-
matting program (used to produce the margins in this doc-
ument), and any other electronic creations I have decided
to unleash on a foolish, unsuspecting world.
