Tired of calling the same sets over and over, very shortly, we will have available 18 sets, all called, on a CD, figure by figure.
This is the cure to the tedious task of repetitive calling, simply copy these files to your system, create a new CD and add these files, then add the sets from the CD. Put these files in front of each figure and when you play the CD, the figures will be called then played

Here is a sample:
