ALBATROS CD Player
ALBATROS CD Player is a Compact Disk Player which will allow you to play your
Compact Audio Disks.
Well, here it is: a CD Player for OS/2 2.1. Though there is already a CD
Player in the MMPM/2 Package, I wanted to have a CD Player that is a bit more
fancy, a Friend of mine wanted a Volume Knob, some others wanted a LCD Display
and so on..

Editing Title and Track information can be made a lot easier with Drag and
Drop. For this you will have to prepare a file (any name you like, it is HPFS
aware, but has to have the ending *.ALB) which has the following format :
CD Titel
Track 1 Title
Artist 1
Track 2 Title
# This would be Artist 2 but is blank !!
Track 3 Title
# Artist 3 BLANK
Track 4 Title
Artist 4
Track 5 Title
#
Track 6 Title
#
Track 7 Title
#
Track 8 Title
#
Track 9 Title
#
Track 10 Title
#
You will have to edit a file exactly as stated above. Empty lines will not be
recognized, and you will have to include the # for a blank line. The file has
to consist of (2* Number of Tracks on CD )+1 lines, more or less lines in the
file will cause an Error Message, and the file will not be imported. If you
have prepared the File, you can drag it from the Drives object container (Icon
View, Details View, etc) and drop it on a space next to the Titles container,
when you see the appropriate Drag+Drop icon displayed. The file may also be
dropped on the main display (see below). See also the File IMPORT.ALB as a
template for writing your own Files.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 11. The Spanish Inquisition ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition, not even in this documentation
Voice over film of Medieval Europe
"In the early years of the 16th century, in an attempt to quell the rising tide
of religious unorthodoxy, the pope agve Cardinal Ximenez of Spain leave to move
without let or hindrance in a reign of violence and terror that makes a
smashing film...This was the Spanish Inquisition...
The door flies open and Cardinal Ximinez of Spain (Palin) enters, flanked by
two junior cardinals. Cardinal Biggles (Jones) has goggles pushed over his
forehead. Cardinal Fang (Gilliam) is just Cardinal Fang
Ximinez: NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is
suprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two
weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our
*three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an
almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no...
*Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as
fear, surprise.... I'll come in again. Exit and exeunt
Chapman: I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition.
The cardinals burst in
Ximinez: NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Amongst our weaponry are such
diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost
fanatical devotion to the Pope, and nice red uniforms - Oh damn! To
Cardinal Biggles I can't say it - you'll have to say it.
Biggles: What?
Ximinez: You'll have to say the bit about 'Our chief weapons are ...'
Biggles: rather horrified I couldn't do that...
Ximinez bundles the cardinals outside again
Chapman: I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition
The cardinals enter
Biggles: Er.... Nobody...um....
Ximinez: Expects...
Biggles: Expects... Nobody expects the...um...the Spanish...um...
Ximinez: Inquisition.
Biggles: I know, I know! Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. In fact,
those who do expect -
Ximinez: Our chief weapons are...
Biggles: Our chief weapons are...um...er...
Ximinez: Surprise...
Biggles: Surprise and --
Ximinez: Okay, stop. Stop. Stop there - stop there. Stop. Phew! Ah!
...our chief weapons are surprise...blah blah blah. Cardinal,
read the charges.
Fang: You are hereby charged that you did on diverse dates commit heresy
against the Holy Church. 'My old man said follow the--'
Biggles: That's enough. To Cleveland Now, how do you plead?
Cleveland: We're innocent.
Ximinez: Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Superimposed caption: 'DIABOLICAL LAUGHTER'
Biggles: We'll soon change your mind about that!
Superimposed caption: 'DIABOLICAL ACTING'
Ximinez: Fear, surprise, and a most ruthless-- controls himself with a
supreme effort Ooooh! Now, Cardinal -- the rack!
Biggles produces a plastic-coated dish-drying rack. Ximinez looks at it and
clenches his teeth in an effort not to lose control. He hums heavily to cover
his anger
Ximinez: You....Right! Tie her down.
Fang and Biggles make a pathetic attempt to tie her on to the drying rack
Ximinez: Right! How do you plead?
Cleveland: Innocent.
Ximinez: Ha! Right! Cardinal, give the rack (oh dear) give the rack a turn.
Biggles stands their awkwardly and shrugs his shoulders
Biggles: I....
Ximinez: gritting his teeth I *know*, I know you can't. I didn't want to say
anything. I just wanted to try and ignore your crass mistake.
Biggles: I...
Ximinez: It makes it all seem so stupid.
Biggles: Shall I...?
Ximinez: No, just pretend for God's sake. Ha! Ha! Ha!
Biggles turns an imaginary handle on the side of the dish-rack
Cut to them torturing a dear old lady, Marjorie Wilde
Ximinez: Now, old woman -- you are accused of heresy on three counts -- heresy
by thought, heresy by word, heresy by deed, and heresy by action --
*four* counts. Do you confess?
Wilde: I don't understand what I'm accused of.
Ximinez: Ha! Then we'll make you understand! Biggles! Fetch...THE CUSHIONS!
Biggles holds out two ordinary modern household cushions
Biggles: Here they are, lord.
Ximinez: Now, old lady -- you have one last chance. Confess the heinous sin
of heresy, reject the works of the ungodly -- *two* last chances. And
you shall be free -- *three* last chances. You have three last
chances, the nature of which I have divulged in my previous utterance.
Wilde: I don't know what you're talking about.
Ximinez: Right! If that's the way you want it -- Cardinal! Poke her with the
soft cushions!
Biggles carries out this rather pathetic torture
Ximinez: Confess! Confess! Confess!
Biggles: It doesn't seem to be hurting her, lord.
Ximinez: Have you got all the stuffing up one end?
Biggles: Yes, lord.
Ximinez angrily hurling away the cushions Hm! She is made of harder
stuff! Cardinal Fang! Fetch...THE COMFY CHAIR!
Zoom into Fang's horrified face
Fang terrified : The...Comfy Chair?
Biggles pushes in a comfy chair -- a really plush one
Ximinez: So you think you are strong because you can survive the soft
cushions. Well, we shall see. Biggles! Put her in the Comfy Chair!
They roughly push her into the Comfy Chair
Ximinez with a cruel leer Now -- you will stay in the Comfy Chair until
lunch time, with only a cup of coffee at eleven.
aside, to Biggles Is that really all it is?
Biggles: Yes, lord.
Ximinez: I see. I suppose we make it worse by shouting a lot, do we?
Confess, woman. Confess! Confess! Confess! Confess!
Biggles: I confess!
Ximinez: Not you!
