- Introduction
- ════════════
-
- RA_NDOM ('Random') is a utility designed to give you a variety in
- what you hear everytime a user pages you. You can have up to 999
- different paging files and RA_NDOM will make the active file change
- for every caller. This program simply changes the current PAGE.RA
- file for every call. PAGE.RA is the file that Remote Access reads
- to determine how to 'beep' when a user pages.
-
- In addition, RA_NDOM has a built in 'Play Feature'. This will allow
- you to listen to any page file before you install it to your system.
- The 'Play Feature' will play the file EXACTLY the way that your
- RemoteAccess system would. Hope you enjoy it!
-
-
- RA_NDOM Setup
- ═════════════
-
- Installation is very simple. First, you must edit the configuration
- file for your needs. The configuration file contains only 3 lines.
-
- Line #1 - The Remote Access Path
- Line #2 - The Path to the PAGE.### Files
- Line #3 - Number of PAGE.### files available to the program
-
- The Remote Access path is the path in which the PAGE.RA file is
- normally stored. An '*' can be used to tell RA_NDOM to write
- the file in the current directory.
-
- The Path to PAGE.### files is the path where you keep the page files.
- They are to be numbered, in order, by extension. The first being
- PAGE.001 and can go all the way up to PAGE.025. An '*' can be used
- to tell RA_NDOM to look for the files in the current directory.
-
- The Number of PAGE.### files is the number of available page files
- you have. The minimum is 1 and the maximum is 25.
-
-
- Running RA_NDOM [To Select Page File]
- ═════════════════════════════════════
-
- RA_NDOM must simply be run between callers. The most convenient way
- is to execute the program AFTER every call. It is also possible to
- execute it before Remote Access is fired up, but then the user has
- to wait longer on-line. You simply execute RA_NDOM.EXE to run the
- program in this mode.
-
- Running RA_NDOM [To activate 'Play Feature']
- ════════════════════════════════════════════
-
- RA_NDOM will now let you listen to any page file! To activate this
- feature, execute RA_NDOM the following way:
-
- RA_NDOM.EXE filename
-
- Simply type RA_NDOM.EXE and then the file you want to listen to.
- RA_NDOM will scan the DIRECTORY LISTED IN YOUR .CFG FILE for the file.
- If RA_NDOM finds the file, it will play it for you EXACTLY the way
- your RemoteAccess system would. This is a handy feature so that you
- can test the files before installing them.
-
- Remember, running RA_NDOM without a parameter will execute it in its
- normal mode. If you run it with a parameter, it will look for the
- file and play it for you.
