#Want Sound Startup Util
4 messages in this thread
I'm interested in knowing if anyone has the following kind of startup
utility.
I want to have my (WB21.04) A2000 play a randomly selected IFF sound file
at startup from a specific directory. Right now I have a line in my
user-startup file to play a specific file, but I would like to have some
variety. Any suggestions?

Ernie,
I wrote a very simple ARexx program that will play a sound file randomly
selected from ny directory of sound files. If you'd like, I'll mail it
you or post it.

I would love to have your ARexx script. I suspected someone had done it,
but being an ARexx-boob myself, it was beyond me. (I know that many won't
believe that, but it's true.)

Ernie,
Okay, I'll send it to you tonight. It's pretty simple — I'm no ARexx guru
either 8-{) — and is fairly self-documenting. Let me know if you have
any problems or questions. The script just selects a sound file at random
and passes its name to another program to play it, depending on the sound
file's extension.
