MP3KIT.ZIP (186kb)MP3KIT by Tom Record .*.zip contains the MP3 codec & 3 files needed to install it. Instructions are included, as is an "installer". Also contained is an appl to check for all four components of the installation _&_ the 2 registry entries made during the installation. If any of the 6 "items" fails, you are told it can't play the compressed *.wavs. The codec compresses large *.wav files as MP3, then cloaks them in a *.wav header, using sndrec32.exe. Systems with the proper installation can play these *.wavs using any of the several methods of playing normal *.wav files. Filesize is reduced to perhaps 10%, tho. Once the codec is properly installed, the installation packet (this *.zip) itself can be deleted. I think the 3 *.dlls are required to allow the codec to function. 04/17/2001

NITEFIX.ZIP (5kb)by Anthony Watson. (Mountain Software) .I'm attaching a short GFA program I thought you might like to include on your web pages.

Great utility for cleaning up larger drives. It also disables the screensaver temporarily to prevent scandisk from restarting over and over. ...01/14/2001You Can Email Contact Anthony

INIFILES.ZIP (6kb)From Tom Record. 01/06/2001 A crude but working model for generating & using *.ini files._ini2a.lst writes the file using data garnered by a small dialog. In it, you name the *.ini file, select the path to images, set the path to a *.wav file *IF* you have turned the sound on. You can select smear trails behind images or not. This versiona lso contains the volume adjustment routine, but it would be best to put that one line in your display appl. chk_ini.lst is the *.ini reader from the display appl. This is actually where it would be best to have access to the system master volume control instead of in the ini-writer. filename.ini is a dead-run *.ini written by _ini2a.lst. It will write the file any time the OK button is pressed. It is provided here to give one an idea how it looks. ini_form.lst is Joe Hurst's simple *.ini format. It can be used to write any length *.ini. vol_set.lst is based on Joe Hurst's version of dirlist.lst. It is used to find where on the boot drive the file winmixw.exe is located. winmixw.exe is the master volume control on my computer. It comes w/Azcal's WinDat. I mistakenly put the access to it in the ini-writer, but it should be in the display appl, at the very beginning before any user activity is detected. I really don't know if winmixw.exe would have a different name on other systems. If one is going to use MP3 files compressed with a *.wav header, then the L3CODECA.ASM codec must be installed on the user machine, also. This was introduced to GFA-W(16) by Roland Walter. ...01/06/2001You Can Email Contact Tom Record

RECORD4.ZIP (61kb)by Tom Record . Tom send 4 very nice routines. His 'Notes' is especially nice. cpy_mp_.lst allows me to retain MP2, MP3, & MPG files because I don't have a plugin for Opera. I let it load'em & squawk, then minimize & copy out the file from it' s cache to another dir. Opera doesn't use hidden stashes like MSIE & Netscape online.lst (_ol2a, I think) is simply a tiny text editor that plays the same role as cpy_mp_.lst - it runs in a very small window & allows me to make notes, copy jokes, URL's, etc. Someone wanted to encrypt the file Russ's appl makes - I had already begun this, but w/ the textedit's file.

TOLMEN22.ZIP (37kb) Here is a new version of the GFA Basic ToolMenu (ver 2.2) for Win95/NT. If You don't know what it does: 1.( Copy the program (GFA.EXE) into the home directory of the GFA Editor. 2.) Start GFA.EXE Now GFA.EXE will start the normal GFA Editor and add a new "Tools" menu entry to the main menu. This Menu You can fill by yourself with tool programs, help files and so on.Initially the menu contains the entry "Configuration" only. Click at this and a Dialog will open where you can tell which programs/files you like to add to the Tool menu. It is possible to change the order of the entries at a later time: You simply can drag the desired entries by mouse in the list box to the desired new position. O.K., Version 2.2 is a bug fix only. I hope that the GFA Extension Tool now will run together with the ToolMenu.The ToolMenu is Freeware. ..Roland Walter .( This is one you don't want to miss) Contact Roland (07/22/98)English Version

METAPLBL.ZIP (25kb) Brent Deck shows us how to handle placeable meta files. This program creates a simple GFA metafile on disk. It then reloads the simple metafile from disk and resaves it as a placeable metafile. Then it allows the user to use the file selector to load and view any simple or placeable metafile, including files greater than 64K in length. Unless a metafile has the placeable header, it cannot be used by most other programs. Note that ESCAPEMENT determines the angle of text in GFA, but ORIENTATION determines the angle in some other programs which load the placeable file. (Win 3.1) In order to have angled text in both GFA and other programs, both ESCAPEMENT and ORIENTATION are set here. This does not conform to WIN API docs. .

NEWBMP.ZIP (3kb)Here is a working codec-compressed display. This will actually display almost *any* *.bmp... odd colordepth is blocked for some reason. The codecs won't display 24, 32, 64, or 128 color images. 1-bit is OK under some circumstances, otherwise, the images must be semi-standard. 16 colors, 256 colors, 16-bit & 24-bit. There is an indication that 32-bit *may* display &/or compress but I don't have any & can't make any. 32-bit is a feature of Win98. *This* display can be associated with *.bmp & when compiled and will display the images by double-clicking on them. This particular version doesn't allow selection beyond the first one... you must run it again for each image. Sorry, I'm lazy & just haven't added that feature. I use a copy of this one simply to check images for size & whether or not they have been compressed. English Version

SCREFX1.ZIP (4Kb) By Tom Record. I think this will be my last go-round. Aimed at the beginning programmer who wants to play with screensavers. This sample covers only 8 slide effects & if compiled, will make only an *.exe.
8 basic slide effects for screensavers, etc.  Mouse & keyboard reactive.
1) left to right
2) top left to bottom right
3) top down
4) top right to bottom left
5) right to left
6) bottom right to top left
7) bottom up
8) bottom left to top right
Timing is set to 1/10 sec, each move. Only 8) actually has an offset in it - can be adjusted to start in corner or end in corner. All even numbered efxs can be offset for better Display. You can really go wild with these! Image supplied, 640x480.bmp @ 8-bit is ultra-generic, should offend NO ONE! Loops can be added in each routine to accomodate small images. I used only one in this sample to make things easier. It will shut itself off after one full cycle of the effects. A GOTO can make it recycle, or the whole thing can be rewritten to make the accomodation.

MINISCAN.ZIP (106kb) Miniscan was originally written for the Atari 8-bit, then the ST as disk/file/memory editors. This DOS version contains the memory section the Window's version does not. Scanner, which includes things such as a formatter, many disk utilities & an editor instead of a viewer, will come later. Miniscan has only been tested with DOS 5 & 6. *Another great utility by Bev Brown (07/23/98)
SCANNER.ZIP (2040kb) SCANNER (DOS)'s main reason for being is that it is a multi-purpose EDITOR; it consists of 28 executable programs (see below); it was written this way so that there would be as much free memory as possible when running any one section (the dummies that decided there should only be 640K of working memory should be strung up); anyways, the Windows version won't have this problem. Sorry! this was written before Win95 & 32-bit FATs; while it seems to work out of 95 alright, it does not recognize drives with 32-bit FATs. Editors - Memory - File - Disk Utilities - System - File - Disk - Sector - Convert..It will even zip stuff if PKZIP/UNZIP/ZIP2EXE are available. .. Another great utility by Bev Brown (07/31/98)
COLPRINT.ZIP (81kb) Here's one for DOS called Column Printer; it allows you to control the printing of any ASCII-file (txt., lst etc -- in other words a GFA-listing) allowing up to 4 columns, 160 characters to a line & either 66 or 88 lines per page. It is a DOS program but can be run from Windows (PIF file included). I'm about to attempt a Windows version but it will have to be setup completely different because the DOS version uses LPRINT which is not recognized by Windows. ..
