Short:        (V2.38 w/src) Sound FX for Windows/Screens/More...
Author:       Dobes Vandermeer <dobes@stealthmail.com>
Type:         util/cdity
Version:      2.38
Replaces:     util/cdity/IFX.lha
Requires:     OS 2.0+, IFX_Big.lha or IFX_Small.lha
Architecture: m68k-amigaos

   See http://deathsdoor.com/dobes for the IFX Web Page, where you can download
sound collections and stuff.
   This version of IFX includes the full source in Amiga E.  Anyone who uses
this source should give me credit for originally writing it!

   This is a replacement for UPD.  If you don't know what UPD is, it's
a sound playing daemon.  It's use is that when an application, such as ARQ,
wants to play a sound, it can do so quickly and easily by simply sending
IFX a message, and IFX will select a sound (or other type of effect) and
play it.  Coincidentally, ARQ WILL send IFX messages whenever an requester
is opened, so I recommend getting ARQ along with IFX.
   IFX also sends itself messages when Windows/Screens are opened,
activated, resized, or closed, as well as several other things, such as 
a chime every quarter of the hour, and a replacement for the system's
beep sound.

Note: IFX is in no way associated with ImageFX, which is sometimes also called
      IFX for short.

Some of IFX's features are:

   (- GUI Preferences editor...)
   - Replaces UPD almost seamlessly
   - Uses datatypes when available, allowing one to download .wav's
     and .au's for sound effects.
   - Allows to execute a command line, call another ID, and much more
     in place of playing a sound.
   - It's FREE!!! (Feel free to send money anyway, though)
