Games     Lines is a board game where the object is to clear lines of five or more matching pieces in a row. Lines can be vertical, horizontal, or diagonal. A piece can only move from point A to point B if there is a clear path for the piece to follow, moving only vertically or horizontally. After each move, three new pieces fall at random on the board. When the board is full, the game is over. Game options include sound (on.off), big or little playing board, and a preview of the next three pieces (on/off). If you close the program in the middle of a game, the game will be saved automatically and resume the next time the program is run. When a game is over, if your score is high enough, your name will be saved on the top ten list. System requirements: Windows 95, 98, etc. New!

White (Electrongate) This program converts a DMX EPROM image file to a WAV audio file. The input file should be in raw binary format. Usage: dwav input_filename [-o output_filename][-s sample_rate][-v] Where: optional parameters are shown in [brackets]. -o specifies an output filename explicitly. By default, the output filename is "input_filename.wav" -s specifies the output sample rate in samples/second. Typical for DMX files is 22000 to 32000. -v sets verbose mode to provide more detailed information. Example: dwav drum.bin -s 24000 -o drum7.wav -v DWAV is also available in source code format and can be compiled to run under FreeBSD (or other operating systems such as Linux). Click here to get the source code for dwav. Compilation instructions are included in the source file. DMXWAV is a Windows-based conversion program used to convert binary DMX EPROM image files to Windows WAV files and vice-versa. System requirements: Windows 95 or later, Windows sound driver. Click here to download dmxwav v1.02 (47518 bytes) This is a simple Windows program with a minimal user interface. Menu options should be fairly easy to understand and self-explanatory. After a file has been converted, it will be played through your speakers. Clicking on the main window area will replay the last sound. The only edit option available is the playback sample rate. I recommend using 24000 as your standard sample rate.
