;Readme file for "Talking Requester" program.

This incredably useless hack is in the "Public Domain"
providing this readme file is distributed with it.

WARNING: This program "MUST!" be run from the Workbench!

Beta Version  .90

This hack looks for sound files in "RAW" format in your "Ram" disk.
Maximum file size is 48000 bytes.
The filenames are numbers from 1-16.   I.E. ram:1     I.E. ram:2
These numbered filenames correspond to the SYSTEM "Requestors" as follows:
1      Please replace Disk or Volume
2      You must replace disk
3      Disk is unreadable
4      Disk is write protected
5      Disk is not validated
6      Disk is full
7      Disk has a read/write error
8      Disk corrupt
9      Disk structure corrupt
10     Not a dos disk
11     No disk present
12     Error validating disk
13     Printer trouble ->DO NOT USE!
14     Printer trouble ->DO NOT USE!
15     Printer trouble ->DO NOT USE!
16     Printer trouble ->DO NOT USE!

13 to 16 will surely GURU your system. Their seems to be Commodore patch
for the printer device error messages that I am having trouble with.
It will take a while to figure it out. If one of you GURU'S out there
can help me, please let me know! So don't generate any printer
SYSTEM Requesters while this program is running.

I have bundled one sound file with this program for those poor souls
without a sound digitizer. It is named "1" and as stated above must
be located on your ram disk to work. You can rename this file to a
different file name("2" to "16") if you want to try out the different
System requesters.

Just double-click on the requ12 icon to start the program. If nothing
blows up then everything is fine & dandy. Continue as normal!

To generate the SYSTEM Requester "Please replace Volume ....." just open
up the CLI window and type "dir a:".

Your machine must be "re-booted" to get rid of this hack!

Please don't run this while your Accounting program is updating
your main Accounts Receivable file!!

I have a version that uses the Narrator device to "Speak" the proper
Disk and Volume names, but it sound funny mixed with the real
digitized voices.
I can be reached on PLINK as SLEBANS

Will release finished version and .ASM source in a week or so.

I did this Hack befause last week I heard the "NEXT" machine was "speaking"
its Requesters.

Until Atari takes over Commodore
Make mine Amiga!
