WWoorrkkBBoonnee is an interactive TEXT-MODE program for playing
audio CDs under Linux. It is based on the modules "hard-
ware.c" and "struct.c" from the elaborate X11 CD program
known as WorkMan. WWoorrkkBBoonnee was intended as a minimalist
interactive control panel for playing CDs under text-mode
Linux, and does not incorporate most of the advanced fea-
tures of WorkMan such as shuffle play and CD databases.
However, for those who just want to play music with mini-
mal fuss, WWoorrkkBBoonnee is quite sufficient.
WWoorrkkBBoonnee expects to find the device: /dev/cdrom . If you
don't have this device, change to /dev and soft link your
current cd rom device to 'cdrom'. For example, if you cur-
rently call your cdrom device 'mcd0', then do the follow-
ing:
cd /dev
ln -sf mcd0 cdrom
Alternatively, just edit 'hardware.c' to reflect the name
of your cdrom device and recompile.
WWoorrkkBBoonnee uses the numeric keypad as a control panel to
allow you to move track to track, play, pause, stop, and
resume playing of audio CDs. Make sure you have your NUM
LOCK engaged when using WWoorrkkBBoonnee.. A graphical template is
displayed to guide you. Running times are also continu-
ously updated and displayed. Pushing the DEL key on the
numeric pad will bring up a help screen.

BBUUGGSS
It is doubtful that I will do much development of WWoorrkk--
BBoonnee.. It was basically a quick hack for my personal use.
However, please e-mail any bug fixes or improvements that
you might have. WWoorrkkBBoonnee works with my Mitsumi FX001D CD
Rom drive, but your mileage with other drives may vary.
Only generic calls and functions are used as per WorkMan
proper itself. The display code was written specifically
for the Linux console and uses VT102 escape sequences.
Portability was not a concern :-)
