│ PLAYVOC file player - Beta test version 1.0B │
│ ******************************************** │
│ │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
This is the BETA release of my VOC file player, The only testing that
I have performed is on my own machine with a standard Sound Blaster
card 1.5 version.
SETUP;
In order for this program to work, you must set an enviroment varible
named PLAYVOC to the directory where the driver program that came
with the Sound Blaster; CT-VOICE.DRV an example is........
SET PLAYVOC = C:\SB\DRV ─┐
┌─────────────────────────┘
│
└───>>> C:\SB\DRV The directory where the file CT-VOICE is located
Also, you must already have installed the driver according to your
particular setup by using INST-DRV program that came with the card.
(at least as far as I can tell)
To run the program requires you to provide a command line file name
which would be the VOC file to play, ie.......
PLAYVOC frogs.voc
And if all works correctly, you should hear the output, One thing to
note; the VOC file must be smaller than 65000 bytes, anything larger
will lock the program an computer up due to that this program will
load the entire VOC file into memory before playing it.
As far as memory requirments go so far I believe that it requires
at least 512 K but that should not be a problem on most machines.
DISCLAIMER;
Since this a BETA release, by using this program you may not hold me
liable for any effect that this program may have on any aspect of your
computer and/or sofware-data that may occur as a result of a malfunction
of this program, all attempts have been made in order to test this program
but due to the variety of computer and software that is program may be run
on you hereby use this program at your own risk.
All comments are welcome, Including suggestions for improvments, problems
and ideas esp. concerning how to get away from using the CT-VOICE.DRV
driver supplied by Creative Labs so that this program may work on other
SB compatable sound cards !!!!!!!!!!!
