- Well, since I got so much response to my first announcement about
- writing a better CD-ROM audio tool for X windows informing me about
- WorkMan, I decided to port it to Linux. It's got album/artist and
- track title memory and many, many nifty options. Check it out.
-
- The port was trivial, but it uncovered a couple of subtle bugs in the
- ioctls, hence the new release of that package too. The driver
- package (scsi2audio-0.2 at tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/BETA/cdrom)
- contains patches for xcdplayer, WorkMan 4.01 (original sources at
- sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/X11/Openlook/workman.401.tar.Z) and a replacement
- sr_ioctl.c for 0.99-pl1 and newer kernels.
-
- I have also put a pre-patched copy of the WorkMan source on tsx-11
- in the same place. It includes a ready-to-go binary too.
-
- Following is the README.linux file I wrote for the WorkMan package...

- This is the port of WorkMan for Linux. Only trivial changes were needed;
- a copy of the patches that were applied is in workman.diff in this
- directory.
-
- The workman binary was compiled on Linux 0.99-pl4 with gcc 2.3.3 and
- libc 4.2 and X libraries 2.1.
-
- Workman should work on any system with kernel-supported CD-ROM audio.
- At the moment (kernel 0.99-pl4) this means that you must have either
- a SCSI-2 CD-ROM drive or a drive compatible with the Sony CDU-31A.
-
- For SCSI-2 drives (such as the Sony CDU-541, Toshiba 3301/2), you'll
- need my package for SCSI-2 CD-ROM audio. You can find this at
- tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/BETA/cdrom/scsi2audio-0.x.tar.Z.
-
- For CDU-31A drives, you'll need Corey Minyard's (minyard@wf-rch.cirr.com)
- driver. This is currently at sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/Incoming/
- sonycd-0.2.tar.Z. This will probably move to another directory soon. Note
- that I have not tested Workman with this driver, so you're on your own.
