- Play16dameon.rexx Version 1.1
- by Charles Patterson
- Creates an ARexx port called PLAY and accepts commands, then redirects
- them to Play16 for play.
-
- I wrote this to replace UPD since UPD, while a great program, did not
- support WAV files, AU files, or any other format but 8svx. Since Play16
- plays those formats, I decided to just make use of it.
-
- The created PLAY port supports 3 commands:
- 1) PLAY FILENAME/A
- This just uses Play16 to play the file given. Simple
- 2) ID IDNAME/A
- This uses the Play16.ids file for preset IDs, like those used in ARQ
- to decide which sound file to play for then ID given.
- 3) EXIT
- Closes the port.
-
- Instructions: Put this file in your REXX: assign
- add RUN >NIL: rx Play16daemon to your User-startup
- Change PATH in the script to match Play16 on your system
- Edit play16.ids file to direct the IDs to sounds you want
- to use then move the file to S:
- Send commands to the PLAY port. :)
-
- Future: It does not work with ARQ at this time, and that is why I am trying
- to get working. If you have any suggestions PLEASE let me know.
-
- If you like/use/hate it, send me a note.
