sound & big text for Win 3.1

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

All,

What do I need to write a program for an old 386 with Win 3.1 on it, in
order to play wave files in series one after another, & display text in
large fonts?

(I'd like to write a "reminder" program for my dad, to speak hello & the
time & date after Windows loads, and show him things-to-do relevant to the
day's date & let him enter things he want to remind himself.)

I'm guessing that I can't use Win32Lib, & that I'll have to write it for
dos?

I started off using Jacques Deschenes sfx2.e  for playing .wav files on a
sound blaster card, but I can't figure out if/how to use it to play a SERIES
of wave files one after another [to be able to say individual words or
phrases one after another: "Today is" "(Monday, Tuesday,...)", "(Month)"
"(Day #)", "(Year)"]; and I also don't know how to use big fonts in Dos.

I then realized that David Cuny also had a "Dos32Lib" in addition to
Win32Lib,
and since I already had a routine crafted by Brian Broker to play a series
of wave files using a Win32Lib timer, I thought I'd try using the Dos32Lib,
but unfortunately it doesn't seem to actually make differently sized fonts.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
