Short: UPD replacement with many added features Author: midian@azstarnet.com Type: util/sound Architecture: m68k-amigaos 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. midian@azstarnet.com Charles Patterson 4632 South Goldenrod Drive Tucson AZ 85730-4102
