Laser Disc Player ARexx compatible by Ron M. Battle copyright 1991
Supports basic commands of Hitachi, Pioneer, and Sony RS-232 laser disk players.
Thanx to Brian Berg and Larry Shultz for artistic enhancements!
Unfortunately, the Hitachi drivers are untested. No one was willing to test!
Let me know what you find (anyone with a 9500 or 9550). Also, the log button
doesn't work properly in WorkBench V1.3. You need to keep pressing the Left
Arrow key to get to the left of the display. Solution: move ahead, never look
back, get WB2.0 ! :)
You can test the ARexx interface by typing rx test.ldp. You can run a
preconfigured LDP from the command line by typing rx sony.ldp (or hitachi.ldp
or pioneer.ldp). (You don't need rx if WB2.0)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
