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
