Short: UPD replacement with many added features
Type: util/
Author: midian@azstarnet.com
Play16dameon.rexx Version 1.1
by Charles Patterson
Creates an ARexx port called PLAY and accepts commands, then redirects
them to Play16 for play.
I wrote this to replace UPD since UPD, while a great program, did not
support WAV files, AU files, or any other format but 8svx. Since Play16
plays those formats, I decided to just make use of it.
The created PLAY port supports 3 commands:
1) PLAY FILENAME/A
This just uses Play16 to play the file given. Simple
2) ID IDNAME/A
This uses the Play16.ids file for preset IDs, like those used in ARQ
to decide which sound file to play for then ID given.
3) EXIT
Closes the port.
Instructions: Put this file in your REXX: assign
add RUN >NIL: rx Play16daemon to your User-startup
Change PATH in the script to match Play16 on your system
Edit play16.ids file to direct the IDs to sounds you want
to use then move the file to S:
Send commands to the PLAY port. :)
Future: It does not work with ARQ at this time, and that is why I am trying
to get working. If you have any suggestions PLEASE let me know.
If you like/use/hate it, send me a note.
