REM REM This file contains the Toolbox constants, routines, and record definitions REM to use the Apple Speech Manager effectively from within FutureBASIC. For REM full documentation please consult the Inside Macintosh (Sound) Series.

Although very crude, you can skip REM the speaking voice in favour of the next voice by pressing the Mouse Button. REM Press the Space Bar to stop the program. REM REM There are also some custom routines which may be useful: REM REM FN VoicePitchToHertz - Converts the toolbox scaled pitch value to a Hertz pitch value REM FN VoiceHertzToPitch - Converts a Hertz pitch value to the toolbox scaled pitch value REM FN SpeechMgrCheck - Uses the Gestalt Manager to check if Speech Manager is present REM FN MakeSpeechInfo - Useful for assigning values to your variables REM REM REM Apple Help Menu Primer REM REM Version 1.00 From Scorpion Research Ltd - London England REM REM eMail: Support@... REM REM This file contains the minimal information to add support for REM the Apple Help Menu effectively from FutureBASIC. It is particularly REM essential for MacOS 8 compatibility. REM REM When your application starts use the FN MenuBuildHelp to add REM the Help menu to the Apple Menu in Pre System 7 environments REM or to the Apple Help Menu in System 7 or greater environments. REM REM Your resource file must include the Apple menu text in the MENU REM resource as normal which shows the first item as About MyApp REM though no special resource is required for the Apple Help menu. REM REM Your menu event trapping function (ON MENU FN DoMenus) will need REM to be modified to include the two CASE sections as shown in addition REM to your normal File Edit etc menus.

REM REM Copyright 1994 - 1998 Scorpion Research Limited REM All Rights Reserved Worldwide REM REM You may use this source code in your programs but may not REM publish it without written permission of Scorpion Research Ltd REM REM Although ISO 8601 suggests dates should be written in REM the CCYY/MM/DD format to prevent confusion with the REM millenium and international conventions, most persons REM still use the traditional format native to their region REM hence a routine has been also enclosed to encode and decode REM the ISO 8601 format. REM REM The routines also enable you to add support for date based REM calculations without fear of millenium date confusion. REM REM Example syntax showing how to use each routine has been REM added at the end of the file.
