                         DiskTalk 1.0  (1 Nov 1989)
                         --------------------------

     In a long (endless) line of Amiga hacks I present : DiskTalk.

     DiskTalk will monitor disk activity and whenever a disk is ejected or
inserted it will play one of two samples.  The effect can be hilarious.
Because it's the year of batmania I have included two appropriate samples.
Just try the program out by double-clicking its icon.

     CLI USAGE:

          "1> Run DiskTalk <diskin sound> <diskout sound>"

     WB USAGE:

          Click the icon once, use the 'Info' command in the 'WorkBench' menu
       and enter "SOUNDS= <diskin sound> <diskout sound>" in the tooltypes.


NOTE:

   - The samples are loaded in chip memory, so this program can limit
     multitasking a lot.  But remember, it's only a hack.
   - You can use your own samples very easily, just save them as an IFF file.
   - Raw samples can also be read, but they will always be played at 10KHz.
   - The effect is a zillion times funnier if you leave DiskTalk running and
     you forget it's there.
   - Use the close gadget to quit or send a break command (CTRL-C).
   - You can crunch the soundfiles with PowerPacker (one of my utilities) to
     save some diskspace (samples crunch VERY badly though, +-10%), DiskTalk
     will recognize this and decrunch the files.

                                                Have fun,

                                                         Nico.
