- Dual Module Player Companion
- Version 1.3
- (C) 1993 Psychic Psoftware
-
-
- This program is FREEWARE, that is, you may distribute it freely as long as you
- don't charge any fee for it. If you have any comments (gripes?) about this
- product, email me at g92m3062@alpha.ru.ac.za (I may even fix some things!).
-
- NOTE: From the 14th of June I'll be on holiday, so I might not be able to reply
- to your letters until the 18th of July (when I get back to university).
- I might pop in during my holiday and try and catch up, but I can't promise
- anything!
-
- DMPC was written as a front end for the Dual Module Player ((C) 1992, 1993 Otto
- Chrons). DMPC was coded just before I had to write an examination, so don't
- expect miracles (not big ones anyway). It was designed to be small and fast
- rather than big and flashy. Hopefully this will make using the command-line
- driven DMP (An excellent product!) easier to use.
-
- Legal stuff: If this program does anything that is antisocial to your computer,
- hey, shit happens.... and I'm not responsible.
-
- Limitations: DMPC only reads the first 200 music files in the directory, so if
- you have more than 200 music files in a directory... sorry but some
- will get clipped off the end of the list.
-
- Keys: Up and down scroll through the list of mods.
- ENTER will play the mod you are currently on.
- SPACE will tag/untag a file.
- T tags all.
- U untags all.
- D delete current file.
- P plays all tagged files in order or if there are no tagged files, it
- will play the file you are currently on.
- R does the same as P except that it specifies random selection (-o).
-
- P and R specify -l so that the mods don't loop.
- To move faster up and down the list you can use PG UP/PG DN or HOME/END.
-
-
- DMPC has a config file (DMPC.CFG) for the command-line switches that you would
- use when loading DMP. The format of the config is pretty easy to understand,
- it's just a single line with the DMP switches on it. Any lines but the first
- will be ignored. If DMPC can't find DMPC.CFG in the path or current directory,
- it will take -p42 -c6 (PC SPEAKER!! <--- Yech!) as default. DMP must also be in
- the path or current directory.
-
- Warning: If you shell out to DOS from DMP, make sure that you are in the same
- directory as your music files when you exit. (I don't reread the
- filelist when returning from DMP 'cause of speed.)
-
- Now stop reading this dumb DOC and go and play some music! *8)
