Short: uses samples to "speak" rendering progress Author: djm2@ra.msstate.edu (Dan Murrell Jr.) Uploader: djm2 ra msstate edu (Dan Murrell Jr ) Type: gfx/3d Architecture: m68k-amigaos Spam-Server v0.1 © 1994 by Dan Murrell Jr. DanimalSoft various code fragments and much help from Scott Ellis ------ Spam-Server is a small utility whose lone function is to alert a user by voice, beep, or print that a file has been accessed and closed by the system. It's specific application, or why it was written in the first place, was to alert the masterful 3D artist Spamgod by voice samples that each frame of animations that he was rendering was finished. Spam-Server features: An appicon with the icon image user selectable. The appicon will also be named as the current frame Spam-Server is waiting on, and a double click of the appicon will exit the program. Selectable directory for the samples. Selectable sample player. Option to use voice samples or printed output to a window. Option to beep the screen accompanying the voice or printed notification. Option to move the samples into a directory in RAM: for speed. Option to make the sample player resident for speed. (uses "resident force") All options are available as either CLI arguments or icon tooltypes. -------- Special thanks goes to Scott Ellis, whose Sabot program is the basis of Spam-Server. Much of the code is exactly the same, and he gave me a lot of help in learning how file notification works. Also, thanks to Linda Rosul, Spamgod's roommate, for the excellent quality samples. -------- Upgrades to Spam-Server are possible-- I have a couple of ideas. If you have any feel free to make comments or suggestions.
