APPENDIX J PREDEFINED .SET AND .KEY FILES When you first get an applications program, you need to feel it out using Vocal-Eyes. Does it speak too much? Maybe it doesn't speak at all. You may need to make some adjustments in the application program such as switching its video output from "direct screen write" to "BIOS" or the other way around. Then you may need to make changes in Vocal-Eyes to get the application working best for you. For a good example of this process, refer to section 15: Integrating Vocal-Eyes and Your Application. This uses WordPerfect as an example. Why should every user of Vocal-Eyes have to reinvent the wheel? We have included a few .SET, .CHR, and .KEY files on your Vocal-Eyes master diskettes. Because the information can be updated with new .SET and .KEY files often, we have placed all documentation on how to use these files on the diskette. There is a file called SETS.DOC. This file contains a list of all the .SET and .KEY files currently supplied on your diskettes. It also will show you where the documentation for each of the files is located on your diskette. You can use the enclosed VIEW.COM utility to read this information. If you wish to look at the SETS.DOC file, type the following: VIEW SETS.DOC Don't forget to press ENTER. Assuming your default drive and path is where the SETS.DOC file is located, the View utility will begin displaying the information on the screen. Of course, Vocal-Eyes will speak the information as well. If you find a .SET file you may be interested in using, display its documentation file in the same way. For example, to display the enclosed WP.DOC file, type: VIEW WP.DOC and press ENTER. The documentation will show you how to use the associated .SET file. The documentation file will not teach you how to use the applications program but it will tell you everything you need to know in order for Vocal-Eyes to work well with it. If you have setup a .SET environment for an application we have not included, feel free to send us the information. We would like to pass your information on to other users. Many applications do not require much work in order to get them to speak well. Others may take more time. Although we cannot possibly supply .SET environments for every applications program, we hope to supply the more "well known" ones. Remember, with autoloading enabled, Vocal-Eyes will automatically load the correct .SET, .KEY, and .CHR files. You may be using our supplied environments without even knowing it. It is strongly suggested that you look at the documentation for each .SET file. For example, we have supplied an environment for WordPerfect 5.1. The files are: WP.SET WP5.SET WP5FILE.SET WP5REVL.SET WP5MENU.SET WP5SPELL.SET WP.KEY WP.DOC We have also provided a custom environment for WordPerfect 6.0. These files are: WP.SET WP6.SET WP6BOX.SET WP6COLOR.SET WP6FILES.SET WP6GRAM.SET WP6GRAM2.SET WP6HELP.SET WP6LOOK.SET WP6LOOKP.SET WP6MACRO.SET WP6MENU.SET WP6REVL.SET WP6SPELL.SET WP6TAB.SET WP6THES.SET WP6TMPA.SET WP6TMPB.SET WP6TMPC.SET WP.KEY WP.DOC The .DOC file is a standard ASCII file describing some special keys you can use to get certain things to speak. There are other environments aside from WordPerfect. Please read the file SETS.DOC for a complete up-to-date listing.
