[comp.sys.mac] SoundMaster 1.2???

jas@cadre.dsl.PITTSBURGH.EDU (Jeffrey A. Sullivan) (08/10/88)

I've read some postings and refernces to SoundMaster 1.2.  Does such
an animal exist?  And if so, where can it be had?  Also, what changes
are involved in it from 1.1?

Yes, it does exist.  In fact, I was just going to request that someone
upload it to INFO-MAC and comp.binaries.mac.  (Actually, I was hoping
someone would mail me a copy or let me know of an anonymous ftp address...)

Thanks in advance --

DISCLAIMER?  I don't get paid enough to worry about disclaimers.

SoundMaster 1.2 does exist.  It has a nicer layout and will allow a key sound,
a space bar sound and a return sound.  Which is really great for turning your
mac into a manual typewriter!  It will also tell you how big a sound is, let
you play it, and tell you the total amount of memory being used by SoundMaster.
Plus it has a start up icon...  That's about all I can think of for new
features over 1.1.  Someone has probably already posted it to the net so I
will save myself the time....

Gee, am I the only person in the world who uses StartupDesk (an INIT which turns
your StartupScreen into your desktop's background)???  These INITS which have
start-up icons get trapped by StartupDesk, and remain embedded in my
desktop!  YUCK!  PTEWEY!  BOO!   There are several neat INITs that I don't
use because of this very reason!       

Is there maybe an ICON resource that you can cut out of these obnoxious
INIT's, so that they WON'T put up an icon when you boot up?

 Could well be!

 I use an INIT called Backdrop, which has a companion DA that allows
you to select any MacPaint file to open and use as the desktop WITHOUT
REBOOTING!. The INIT itself doesn't keep the StartUpScreen around; rather,
it selects a file at random from a folder named "Screens" in your System
Folder and uses that. It has no problems with refreshing itself, and is
compatible with ALL Macs (on the II/larger screens, your 512x342 pixel
picture is centered on-screen...haven't tried it with larger pictures,
but the DA allows you to set a "view" rectangle --the portion of a picture
which will be used as the desktop.)

 Rather than be responsible for a lot of "me too!" posts, if you're
interested, email me and I'll send it along (or post it to comp.binaries.mac
if there's enough interest).

I would some other desktop keeper.  I use Randomizer which is nice since it
will, when used with a startup sound init and beep init, change your start
up screen, startup sound, and beep each time you boot up.  It also keeps the
startup screen as your desktop and doesn't leave those unsightly inits....

I have not been able to find it on the net anywhere.  Can someone tell me where
to find it or better still, send me a copy?

Thanx.

I sent it to the person in charge of the archives, and it should be up shortly.
