- REXXPLAYER V1.01a for MED 2.0 song files or converted Soundtracker files.
-
- DESCRIPTION:
-
- This program is intended to give an added dimension to applications that
- have access to a AREXX port such as AmigaVision(TM)(CBM) and many other
- third party applications.
-
- REXXPLAYER allows the running of song files in the background through AREXX
- and gives your applications the capability to synchronize these music type
- files with your graphics to enhance your ability to have complex
- transitions on sequence.
-
- I have included a few sample AREXX scripts along with this ARCHIVE to help
- convey the idea.
-
- RUNNING:
-
- There is one main file called REXXPLAYER which is a detached process that
- waits for any one of the following AREXX commands.
-
- address 'rexxplayer'
-
- 'lplay [songname.song]'
-
- 'load [songname.song]'
-
- 'play'
-
- 'stop'
-
- 'tempo [6 thru 10]'
-
-
- /* the following commands will return a string in result based on
- one of the commands.
- see the example AREXX scripts
- */
-
- 'status song'
- 'status active'
- 'status current'
- 'status total'
- 'status all'
-
- 'path [songfile path]'
-
- /* exit will unload the REXXPLAYER from memory */
- 'exit'
-
- The default songpath is SONGS:
-
-
- CLOSING:
-
- I have included some song files out of my collection that seemed
- interesting enough to show what it does.
-
- The song files can be obtained by many soucres and if there is enough
- requests I could slowly post mine.
-
- COMMENTS:
-
- I hope this program sparks new interests and usage of the AREXX language.

- Regards, Robert
