Tonde Buurin Sound Scheme, Cantonese Edition, Revision 3

Thank you for downloading the Tonde Buurin sound scheme. Feel free to send me comments, questions and suggestions to kokubu-karin@geocities.com.

Before you install the sound scheme, unpack the ZIP file into a "scheme directory", then follow one of the instruction sets below, depending on which operating system you currently use. Don't use a temporary directory because the scripts and programs used for installation will not copy files for you.

Windows 3.1x | Windows 95/98/NT 4.0 | OS/2 2.1 or Warp 3 | OS/2 Warp 4 | Manual assignment

If you wish to install both Japanese and Cantonese versions, complete the installation of one of them first, then unpack and install the other. Not all operating systems support multiple, user selectable sound schemes.

Installation instructions

Windows 3.1x

The additional sound events introduced by Windows for Workgroups and third-party applications are not affected.

Exit Windows.
Change to the scheme directory. (Type "chdir <scheme directory>" without quotes, and press Enter. Same for below)
Type BUUSND31 and press Enter. This program tries to find a copy of installed Windows 3.1. If it finds none, or more than one copies, it prompts you for the path to it. Then it replaces all system sounds with those from the package.
Restart Windows. Karin's transformation spell should greet you.

Windows 95, 98, NT 4.0

This method will not work under Windows NT 3.5x. You will have to manually assign sounds to events. For some unknown reasons, you need administrator privileges to install the sound scheme this way under NT.

Start Windows Explorer, and navigate down to the scheme directory.
Right click on BUUSND.INF, then select "Install".
Click on Start button, select Settings, then Control Panel.
Double click on Sounds.
Click on the Schemes list. You should now see "Tonde Buurin JPN" in the list. Select it.
Click OK.

OS/2 Version 2.1x, Warp 3

Make sure you have installed multimedia (MMPM/2) support..
Open an OS/2 Window or OS/2 Full Screen session.
Change to the scheme directory.
Type BUUSND2 and press Enter. This program replaces current sound effects with those from the package.
The changes should take effect right away.

OS/2 Warp 4

Make sure you have installed multimedia (MMPM/2) support.
Open an OS/2 Window or OS/2 Full Screen session.
Change to the scheme directory.
Type BUUSND2 and press Enter. This program installs the sound scheme into Warp 4.
Open the System Setup folder.
Double click on Sound.
Click on Schemes tab.
You should now see "Tonde Buurin JPN" in the list box. Highlight it, then click Apply.

Sound files: The Perfect Match

This table is useful as a reference if you have to manually assign sounds to system events, either you wanted to, or if you are not using one of the OS listed above and no automated installation is available.

The extension (.WAV) is omitted from this table.

Sound file name	Best suited to these sound events
GIKKU	Warning, Exclamation
BUHI	Default beep (This is Buurin's de facto sound!), Information, Asterisk
ASTERISK	You guessed it... asterisk! (It could be used for more things)
OPEN	Open window/program
CLOSE	Close window/program
TONALARM	Alarm
CRASH	Program error (Of course, "crash"!)
MAKEUPJ	System startup, Start Windows
BYEBUUJ	System shutdown, Exit Windows
HOHOHOJ	Shred, Empty recycle bin, deleting files
WAWAJ	Any sound related to errors

What's New

Rev. 3

Some of the sounds are now resampled at 44kHz, 16-bit. (Hence the doubled size)
Installation by INF for Windows 9x/NT means no registry adventures and GREATLY simplified installation.
Added new sounds.
Documentation (This file!) now provided as HTML.
