Hi,

do you know of any VOC or WAV player under DOS, that can play these
sound files in the background and still allows some graphics program
to run in the foreground ? I'm thinking about a slideshow with VPIC or
another graphics application with scolling fonts
and having a description voice file in
the background.
I currently use VPLAY, which came with my SB-Pro, but there are still
some limits..

Any ideas how to synchronize ? maybe under win3.1 ?

waaplay.zip, the win3.1 animator player only allows me flicks and
still pics, but I want to show also other graphics programs for a
presentation ! (and still it is too slow with big sized SVGA  FLIs)

I can use the SB Pro win3.1 Chatterbox-Wav-player, which plays Wav
after Wav, but there is no synchronizing feature with a DOS-Fullscreen
task or is there any way to get it synchronized ?


I want one scroller demo with a special Voc or WAV sample, then, when
the Voice sample is ended, it should go to the next scroller graphics
demo and start the next sound sample with it.

So I need a background sample player, which gives an Escape command
to the foreground graphics application, when the sound sample is over.
Then the next scroller demo can be started via batch..

Anybody used WINBATCH ? Maybe it would work with this utility ?
Any ideas ?

Any package you could recommend ?

Best regards Stefan Hartmann.

Please email the answer directly to me, cause in this moment I don't
have time to scan the newsgroups.
