- Please note:
-
- Normally I would *NEVER* publish a program which is not finished yet and
- needs a lot of further development. But it may be that I will have no
- further time to finish the programming in the next months so I am going to
- publish it in it's current state. I will try to continue the development but
- I don't know exactly when. The application itself is really not an example
- of a good programming style!

- PLAY / RECORD for Linux -- Release 0.21, November, 1993
- =======================================================
-
- - Play plays wav-file through your sound card. It checks the header
- of the file to set the correct mode, speed, bit per sample...
-
- - Record records sound data and saves the data in a wav-file.
-
- - Xplay is an X-Interface with editing facilities (not finished yet)
-
- Please note, there are no editing facilities in the moment on the X-interface.
- The only thing you could do is to mark parts of the song, zoom in and play them.
- It is planned, to use this selection for a selective record (include one sample
- into another) and a selective save.
-
- The command line version is exactly the same like release 0.1. I only
- changed the code to get it working with the X-interface too.
-
- I think most Linux users are using the new sound driver. Unfortunately I
- don't because I am working with Linux 0.99pl6. You have to change the
- ioctl-calls in recplay.c if you are using the new versions of the sound
- driver.
-
- Installation:
- =============
-
- Cause this package contains a X-utility we are using an Imakefile now. Be
- sure that the files in your /usr/lib/X11/config are correct especially the
- site.def which contains site specific definitions.
-
- Edit the Imakefile to meet your needs:
-
- - location of your bin- and man-directories.
-
- - whether you are using the Xaw3d-set rather than the original Xaw-set (If
- you don't, I recommend you to install Xaw3d; it gives your applications a
- look-and-feel like Motif-applications! You can link all Xaw-applications
- with the Xaw3d-kit!) Please take care to change the include directives in
- xplay.h from <Xaw3d/whatever.h> to <Xaw/whatever.h> if you don't want to
- use Xaw3d!
-
- - whether you want to debug the application.
-
- After editing the Imakefile build the application:
-
- xmkmf -a
- make install install.man
-
- The application really needs it's application defaults file!

- ==========
-

- load_file

- behavior of the program
- - return to the main loop after a fail of header check instead exiting the
- application
-
