sound & big text for Win 3.1

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. Dan Moyer
