CDPLAY.CMD

CDPLAY.CMD is a simple textmode CD player written in REXX. You can use CDPLAY.CMD also to test MCI commands.

CDPLAY.CMD needs the DLL MCIAPI.DLL which is part of MMOS/2.

See Sample programs based on TEMPLATE.CMD on how to use this sample program.

Caution: After creating the program you must append the procedure CMDLINE.CMD at the end of the program!

Here are the links to the sections needed to create the program:

• Copy the first part of the source into a file (e.g., TEXT.TMP)

• Append the second part of the source for TEMPLATE.CMD to that file

• Append the third part of the source for TEMPLATE.CMD to that file

• Append the fourth part of the source to that file

• Append the procedure CMDLINE.CMD to that file

• Delete the leading empty lines and blanks from the newly created file TEXT.TMP

• Rename TEXT.TMP to CDPLAY.CMD

I know that this method for creating the programs is somehow difficult but it avoids redundant code in RXT&T.
