DESCRIPTION
kdir is a small dos front end for kara.exe.
It displays a list of songs and calls kara when a song is
selected. Songs may be sorted with an ascii catalogue file.
Four operation modes are allowed with four different windows
- video screen and midi output,
- video screen and synth. output (GUS with ultramid only),
- full screen and midi output,
- full screen and synth. output (GUS with ultramid only).
The current screen selection is recalled on next kdir call.
Catal is the catalogue of songs to be displayed.
If the catalogue is not found in the specified path2, search
is made in path1.
Default : kdir scans the current directory and search for
file with the .mid or .kar extension.
If no path is given for a song in the catalogue, kdir assume
that the song is in the directory of the catalogue.
A song not found is not displayed.
If you wants to have a catalogue where the product is or in
any other one, dont forget to specify a complete path for
each song.
Valid keys are : esc to quit, tab or f6 to change the mode ,
f5 to zoom the window in full screen or unzoom, up and down
arrows to select and enter to active the selected song.
Format of .cat file (ascii file)
if line begins with @, it is a sub menu title and is displa-
yed in yellow foreground color else its a song name with
full path without extension and parameters for kara call.
It is recommended to not provide the kara option -do and -po
because they are automatically inserted depending on the
current window selection.
(see kara.man description).
Example : file kdir.cat :
@kids songs
\kara\auclair -fg=3
\midi\songs\bridge
@goodies
\midi\world -sz=4

BUGS
If not enough memory is found to load and execute kara, the
activation will not work. The same if the kara.exe module is
not found in the directory where kdir.exe resides.
