A shareware sound event randomizer for Windows 95.

**************** 1. OVERVIEW *******************

What does this program do?
You can arrange a list of wav files, and assign this list to a
single sound event.  For example, let's say your sound event 
for Empty Recycle Bin is flush.wav.  Now you can select as many
files as you want, let's say flush.wav, nuke.wav, shred.wav, 
and more if you wish.  Now whenever you empty the recycle bin 
you will hear either a flush, nuke, or shred sound.  Soundscape
will randomize these sounds automatically, depending on your 
preferred settings.

Every sound event list operates independently. That means you 
can set multiple sound events to a single WAV file, and a single
sound event to multiple WAV files, etc. to an infinite number 
of combinations.

You can also arrange a list of BMP files to let Soundscape 
automatically randomize your desktop wallpaper, and a list
of SCR files to randomize your screen saver.
The Program Events Wizard will let you set up different
sound events for individual programs.

******************* 2. SETUP PROCEDURES ********************

You must run Setup to 1. install program files, 2. install DLL's and OCX's,
3. initiate the sound event list and 4. initiate your evaluation 
license. For more information on what Setup actually does, 
see the Help file (after installation).

You need the file Vb40032.dll in your Windows\System directory. 
You probably already have it so it's not included with Setup,
but if you don't, you can get it on the Web the Soundscape page
(or other resources on the Internet):

******************* 4. LICENSE AGREEMENT ***************

Before installing this software you must agree to the terms of this 
license agreement. Installation of software indicates your acceptance 
of the following license agreement.

As this program is shareware, you are granted an EVALUATION LICENSE
which is valid for 30 days.  After 30 days, you are required to 
either register the software (see "Shareware") or uninstall it from 
your computer.

A "registered" copy of the software is a copy of the program with 
valid registration numbers entered (in the registry). An "unregistered"
or "evaluation" copy of the software has no valid registration 
numbers entered (in the registry). All "unregistered" copies of
this software have a "nag screen" that pops up when the program 
starts.  A "registered" copy lacks the nag screen.

You are allowed to distribute the evaluation portion of this program, 
but not to distribute any registration information or files that 
would allow someone else who hasn't registered to have a "registered"
copy. (Registration information is contained in the Windows 95 registry.)

You may not reverse engineer or decompile this software.

Although a reasonable effort has been made to fully debug this 
program, the author or distributors of this program under no 
circumstances will be held liable for any damages, in any form, 
resulting from this program. The author will not be required to refund
registration fees under any circumstances.

This program modifies the files system.ini, system.dat, and user.dat,
all in your Windows\System directory. Although nothing will normally
go wrong, it is recommended to back up these files.

******************* 5. MANUAL INSTALLATION ********************

Recommended only for advanced users who have trouble with Setup.

Shared files: copy Mfc40.dll, Msvcrt40.dll, Olepro32.dll, 
Comctl32.ocx, Comdlg32.ocx, and Fmdrop32.ocx to your Windows\System
directory. Register the OCX's by typing
regsvr32 ***.ocx
at the Start > Run prompt where ***.ocx is the name of each OCX file.
Copy all the other files included in this zip to your preferred
installation directory and rename the files as such:
     .da_     -->    .dat
     .cn_     -->    .cnt
     .ex_     -->    .exe
     .gi_     -->    .gid
     .hl_     -->    .hlp
You don't need to copy Setup.exe and Stkit432.dll.
If you install Soundscape this way, your evaluation license will
not be initialized properly, but you should still be able to
use it.
