RANDOM .VOC PROGRAM
                                  Version 1.0
                                Robert J. Evans

    This program will randomly play a Sound Blaster .VOC file from a directory
    of such files.  It will use the Sound Blaster Card if you have one but it
    is not necessary.

    The first thing you need to do is configure the program for your computer,
    you do this by changing the file RNDSND.CFG.  This file contains the path
    and filename of your favorite Sound Blaster .VOC player program such as

        1) VOUT.EXE     - Came with the original SB card
        2) VPLAY.EXE    - Comes with newer SB cards
        3) VOC_SHOW.EXE - Plays .VOC files though your PC speaker

    You can do this with any edit program you like and by typing in for
    example: C:\SB\VOXKIT\VPLAY.EXE

    You must place a copy of RNDSND.CFG in each directory of .VOC files you
    have. I myself have three directories

        1) \WELCOMES - .VOC's that play from AUTOEXEC.BAT
        2) \GOODBYES - .VOC's that play when I shutdown
        3) \ERRORS   - .VOC's for errors in .BAT files

    I have put into my AUTOEXEC.BAT the following lines
        cd\sb\voxkit\welcomes
        c:\sb\voxkit\rndsnd
        c:\

    If you do not like seeing the program title come up everytime you boot up
    add " > NUL:" to the end of the rndsnd line.


    I also have a SHUTDOWN.BAT that I use to do any clean up work that I want
    done when turning off the computer.  Just make sure that if you use a
    program to park the hard drive heads that it is the last thing in the .BAT
    file
