Jim Wynn 71542,1232 18 Sweetser Ave. Reading Ma. 01867 This program is an animated talking head. The program has two parts, a Windows screen saver and a Windows program. The original DOS program responded to microphone input, but was abandoned when Creative Labs could provide no support for their newer sound card drivers to owners of the original developers kit. An install program was not included to make the upload/downlaod file size smaller To install the program , copy the files 'WP.DLL' and 'BIG.SCR' to your Windows directory, then create a directory off the root directory called 'BIGWIN' and copy the rest of the files there. Another way to install the program would be to unzip all the files in your Windows directory. Set up the screen saver with Windows Control Panel Desktop by selecting 'Big' as the screen saver. Then add Bignivek (BIG.WIN) to one of your program groups. The screen saver displays Bignivek (Big) and moves him about the screen. He will say something randomly so give him some time to respond. When you move the mouse or touch the keyboard he disappears. The BIGWIN program is based on the DOS version. Bignivek (BIGWIN.EXE) is a soothsayer like the old magic 8 ball. Launch the program, then ask Bignivek a question like "Will I hit the lottery?" then click anywhere on the screen and he will answer. If you leave him alone to long he falls asleep. Click once on his nose to wake him. To quit the program double click anywhere on Bignivek's face. Note: This program looks best when displayed with a Windows 256 color mode. The program requires a 386/20 or better. It also requires the Visual Basic runtime library file VBRUN300.DLL. There is a good chance you already have this file in your Windows directory, if not it is available for download from this service and all major bulletin boards. The registered version will allow you to control the screen saver and the program in a number of ways including the frequency of Bignivek's responses, how often he moves etc. You will also be able to add your own 'Wav' files to what he says. To register this program and receive the upgrade send $9.00 to Jim Wynn 18 Sweetser Ave. Reading Ma. 01867 If you would like to become Bignivek send $25.00 to the same address with a photograph of yourself with your face being about an inch to an inch and a quarter high ( About the size you would get in a photo booth picture ) and your mouth closed or smiling and we will animate it and send you the registered version of Bignivek with your face in place of Bignivek's.
