MMTrek v0.1 is a Multimedia-screensaver-module for Windows (TM) v3.1
Every 15 seconds it displays one four different animated pictures of starships from StarTrek.
It can be configured to play wav-sounds at start, end, fly-by of a starship and as a chime.
Windows will keep printing even when MMTREK is active and PRINTMAN's priority is set at "low".
SVGA/800*600 with at least 256 colours is recommended, runs also under vanilla VGA.
Requires VBRUN200.DLL (not included).
Installation:
-------------
Copy the file MMTREK.SCR to your Windows-directory. Start CONTROL PANEL,
double-click the DESKTOP-icon and choose MM-Trek as screensaver.
Configuration:
--------------
Start CONTROL PANEL, double-click the DESKTOP-icon,
choose MM-Trek as screensaver, and click the "Setup..." button.
1. Speedfactor: Choose a speedfactor of 1 to 9. The higher the factor,
the faster the animations will be (on my 486/33,
Speedstar HiColor at 800*600 and 256 colours, I use "3").
2. Timer: Determines how many seconds there will be between the
animations. Set at 15. Change not yet supported (*).
3. Sounds: Determines the WAV-files which are to be played at start
and end of MMTREK, when a ship is flying by and when the
time is nn:15, nn:30, nn:45, or nn:00. The chime-sound will
be played at these times 1 to 4 times respectively.
The input works according to the GIGO-principle: You have
to specify complete names for the WAV-files, including
drive, path, and extension. MMTrek does not check whether
the file exits nor does it give you any help finding a
file (*).
If you do not want any sound to be played at a specific
event, empty the according field or leave it empty.
4. Password: Not yet supported (*).
(*) If I should get a significant response, I would be pleased to add the
missing features.
