Sun Feb 27 13:43:34 GMT-0700 1994 FoneTones README.1st Information File ------------------------------------- The FoneTones distribution contains a XModule Example, appropriately called FoneTones. It was designed to simply generate the tones necessary to make a telephone connection. Granted its usefulness is limited, it can serve as a learning experience. For details of the XModule and installation details, see the Specifications.rtfd. As noted in the Specification.rtfd file you must place the XModule/SingleTones/*.snd files in a path that the SoundKit Sound class object can find for the XModule to work (ie. find the files to play). I would highly recommend you place them in ~/Library/Sound. But if you are installing the sounds for host or network use, then pick a place which is approprate for your needs. The FoneTones.sense HyperSense document is a phone list front-end database which heavily relies on the XModule. It was written in light of a NS application written 2 years ago. The hope is you can change or use the FoneTones.sense document for your own needs. Except for a few XModule commands and a function, it was written entirely using HyperSense objects with SenseTalk scripts. Because of the nature of audible tone generation, likely you will have to place the mouthpiece near the speaker of your monitor. NS Intel or other platform users must have a soundboard or sound generating hardware in their computers for NS to play sounds (see your computer's documentation for specifics). The FoneTones.sense document has a slider which interfaces with the Events Status Driver to control the output sound level (I tried the Sound object's setVolume:: methods, but they didn't seem to work reliably). Use this slider to adjust the volume level to work in your host environment. Finally, all the objects with any usefulness in the FoneTones.sense document support context sensitive help. So, just hold down the alternate-control keys (this may vary due to variations on keyboard designs, so again see your owner's manual for details on the equivalent key sequence), and the cursor will change to a question mark. Click the object while holding these keys down, and if available an answer dialog will be presented with information on using the object. If you find any bugs or ideas, please let me know about them. I would like to keep this distribution up to date and relatively bug-free. Thanks and let me know what you are up to with HyperSense.
