Simple CD Player for OS/2 v.1.07
        (c) Dmitry Kubov 1996-1998
          PUBLIC BETA / 24 march

New Features:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  Controlling CDP/2 using PIPE. Simple example:

    echo eject > \pipe\cdp00

  Implemented commands (all without parameters):
    eject         load
    play          pause
    stop
    next          prev
    +ar           -ar              (same as in command line)
    +ap           -ap
    status 
      (return current status: 'No Disk'/'Play'/'Stopped'/'Paused'
      at Track Min:Sec)

  Network pipe feature also working - run cdp on "server" and try
  "echo play > \\server_name\pipe\cdp00" on the client machine.

 * NOTE: pipe name will be changed in release for supporting multiple drives,
   1st player uses cdp00 name, next - cdp01 .... thru - cdp09

 * NOTE: use pipe in message mode in your application (echo uses message mode)
   pipe_c.exe included for testing "status" feature. Sample session (last
   quit command used only for pipe_c.exe):

     [D:\vp\out]pipe_c \pipe\cdp00
     Enter command : status
     Playing 05 03:13
     Enter command : next
     OK
     Enter command : quit
     OK
   
 * NOTE: Binary pipes will be added in next release.
 
 * NOTE: You can detach cdp/2 now and control drive using pipe

I'm looking for:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 * REXX script for Juke-BOX support. Main idea:
   /* run 1st cdp */
   cdp e: -ap -ar
   /* run 2nd cdp */
   cdp f: -ap -ar
   /* now loop between two or more drives */
   echo play > \pipe\cdp00
   /* wait for status = Stopped .... */

   /* dunno how to do this, not enought free time */

   echo next > \pipe\cdp00  /* rewind to track 1 */
   /* now playing 2nd drive */
   echo play > \pipe\cdp01
   /* etc.... */

 * FeedBack - discussing API for binary style pipe in cdp-daemon
   (new programm w/o any interface)
