DESCRIPTION

13       The autool program is a replacement for the Sun audiotool program  used
14       to  send  audio  files to Network Audio System servers.  It can be used
15       either by making a symbolic link name audiotool that points  to  autool
16       and  is  before  the OpenWindows version or by changing the OpenWindows
17       deskset bindings database with the binder(1) command.

OPTIONS

20       The following options may be used with the autool program:
21
22       -audio servername
23               This option specifies the Network Audio System server on  which
24               the files should be played.
25
26       -volume 0-100
27               This  option  specifies  the volume at which the data should be
28               played as a percentage of the  maximum  possible  volume.   The
29               default is 10 percent.
30
31       -display displayname
32               This  option specifies the X Window System on which the control
33               panel should be displayed.
34
35       -geom geometry
36               This option specifies the position  and  size  of  the  control

CONFIGURING OPENWINDOWS TO USE AUTOOL

40       OpenWindows  users  can configure deskset applications to use autool to
41       play audio files through following steps:
42
43       1.      Run the deskset configuration program binder.
44
45       2.      Locate the entry in the scrolling list named  audio-file  click
46               on it once with the left mouse button.
47
48       3.      From  the  Props  menu, select the Icon... entry with the right
49               mouse button.
50
51       4.      Click on the button marked (+) in the lower right  corner  with
52               the  left  mouse  button.   This will expand the window, adding
53               another panel to the right.
54
55       5.      On the line marked Application  in  the  panel  on  the  right,
56               change  ``audiotool'' to ``autool'' (you will need to specify a
57               full path name if you have not installed autool in a  directory
58               in your path).  The initial volume (which is a percentage rela‐
59               tive to the recorded level; the default is 10) can be increased
60               by  inserting  the ``-v percent'' option between ``autool'' and
61               ``$FILE''.
62
63       6.      Press the Apply button in the left panel.
64
65       7.      Back in the main binder window, press the Save  button  in  the
66               upper left corner.
67
68       8.      Restart  any  deskset  applications such as filemgr to have the
69               updated values take effect.
70
71       Double clicking in filemgr on file names that  end  in  .snd  will  now
72       cause autool to invoked.
73

ENVIRONMENT

75       The following environment variables are used by autool:
76
77       AUDIOSERVER
78               This  variable specifies the default audio server to contact if
79               -audio is not specified on the command line.
80
81       DISPLAY If AUDIOSERVER is not set, this variable is  examined  to  find
82               the name of the corresponding X Window System display.
