Short:    (V2.30) Sound FX for Windows/Screens/More...
Author:   Dobes Vandermeer <dobes@stealthmail.com>
Version:  2.30
Type:     util/cdity
Replaces: util/cdity/IFX.lha
Requires: OS 2.0+, IFX_Big.lha or IFX_Small.lha

   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.

Some of IFX's features are:

   - GUI Preferences editor...
   - Replaces UPD
   - Uses datatypes when available, allowing one to downloads .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)
