----------------
ANSIPLAY is a very powerful utility which allows you to play
customized music and/or sounds from your ANSI files while
displaying them. The music/sound codes can be added to your
file with your own text editing program.
If you're familiar with BASIC's PLAY function, you already know
how to use the music codes.
Sound codes enable you to play sounds that are not available
from music codes. You can specify Sound frequency, Duration,
Number of times to repeat the sound, timed delay between sounds
when repeated, and ability to vary the frequency each time it
is repeated -- all in one command.
ANSIPLAY will also enable you to pause the display for a set
amount of time, or to require an [ENTER]-key keyboard inter-
action to release the pause (good for tutorials, text, etc.)
You can also tell ANSIPLAY to clear the screen before the
display, or to disable the music (for late evenings).
And there is a special feature for those who use off-line mail
reading programs.
Also included with the program package is PLAY.EXE which will
either play the music string directly from the DOS prompt, or
you can use the editor feature to edit/play the music string
on-screen, then save it to file when you have it just right.
If you need to remove the music strings, MUSCSTRP will create a
duplicate of your ANSI file, but will strip the music strings.
You can turn your ANSI files into a slide-show presentation
with ANSIAUTO....which also allows for a set time delay between
each file display. You determine in which order to display the
files.
For more advanced features of ANSIPLAY, there is also a brief
tutorial included, and a few demonstration ANSI files.
For anyone who likes ANSI, this program is a MUST!
