Short: Use your MIDI KB to run programs!
============================================================================
MidiWatcher v1.0 by Ed Mackey
============================================================================
Yes folx, another one of my silly trinkets appears on the net ;-).
MidiWatcher is for people with MIDI keyboards. It requires the midi.library
v2 or higher by Bill Barton (not included). It should run under almost any
version of the Amiga's OS.
Basically, this program sits in the background and watches your MIDI IN port
for certain tunes. When it recognizes a tune, it runs a program.
For instance, if I need my directory utility up, I can do one of three
things: (1) I can search through subdirectories for its icon (takes too
much time and is boring), (2) I can press a ToolManager hotkey (takes much
less time but is still boring), or (3) I can reach over and play a little
jingle on my MIDI keyboard, and up pops MegaD. The third choice is clearly
much more fun than either of the others ;-).
Well, you get the idea. Have fun!
