Dual Module Player Companion
Version 1.4
(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, stuf 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.
If you have a mouse, moving the mouse up and down will do the same as the
up and down arrow keys. The left button emulates P and the right button
emulates SPACE.
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)
