ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. About ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ ALBATROS CD Player ALBATROS CD Player is a Compact Disc Player which will allow you to play your Compact Audio Discs. Well, here it is: a CD Player for OS/2 2.1. Though there is already a CD Player in the MMPM/2 Package, I wanted one that was a bit fancier, a friend of mine wanted a volume knob, other people wanted an LCD display, and so on.. PACKAGE You should find the following files in your package : Taste Funktion ALBATROS.EXE The executable file GERMAN.DLL The German resource file ENGLISH.DLL The English resource file GERMAN.HLP The German help file ENGLISH.HLP The English help file ALBATROS.ICO The icon LCD640c.FON Font for 640 + 800 resolution (CLASSIC style) LCD1024c.FON Font for 1024 + 1280 resolution (CLASSIC style) LCD640.FON Font for 640 + 800 resolution (MODERN style) LCD1024.FON Font for 1024 + 1280 resolution (MODERN style) LCD640f.FON Font for 640 + 800 resolution (FUTURE style) LCD1024f.FON Font for 1024 + 1280 resolution (FUTURE style) README.TXT The Readme IMPORT.ALB The drag and drop template HISTORY.TXT History file FAQ.TXT Frequently asked questions (and the answers) FONTDEV.ZIP The Font Developers' Kit StealTXT.cmd The INI file converter for CDPlayer (Michael Bock), CDExplorer and Albatros INI files INSTALL.EXE The installation program SONGS.TXT CD titles for about 400 different CD's REQUIREMENTS ALBATROS CD PLAYER requires the following : PC Running OS/2 2.1 with MMPM/2 installed (I do not know if it will work with OS/2 2.0 and MMPM/2 installed) a CD Player supported by MMPM/2 The Postscript font HELVETICA.

This will be automatically be inserted in the container. Drag and Drop Editing Editing Title and Track information can be made a lot easier with Drag and Drop. For this you will have to prepare a file (any name you like, it is HPFS aware, but has to have the ending *.ALB) which has the following format : CD Titel Track 1 Title Artist 1 Track 2 Title # This would be Artist 2 but is blank !! Track 3 Title # Artist 3 BLANK Track 4 Title Artist 4 Track 5 Title # Track 6 Title # Track 7 Title # Track 8 Title # Track 9 Title # Track 10 Title # You will have to edit a file exactly as stated above. Empty lines will not be recognized, and you will have to include the # for a blank line. The file has to consist of (2* Number of Tracks on CD )+1 lines, more or less lines in the file will cause an Error Message, and the file will not be imported. Example : If your CD has 10 audio tracks the Import file will only be accepted when it has 21 lines. If you have prepared the File, you can drag it from the Drives object container (Icon View, Details View, etc) and drop it on a space next to the Titles container, when you see the appropriate Drag+Drop icon displayed. The file may also be dropped on the main display (see below). See also the File IMPORT.ALB as a template for writing your own Files. Valid Drag and Drop Unvalid Drag and Drop ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.2.

Because I am already coding the player for more than a year ? Because I am a poor student in germany ? Because I will send you a registration key to stop the "Nagging Windows"? Because I will send you a disc containing the newest Version of Albatros, as well as a CD title archiv with more than 1700 different CD titles ? Because all versions 1.xx will be free for you ? For a good conscience ? ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.1.

This input of your sound card is sometimes set to "0" You will now have to use a PMMIXER for your sound Card to enable the CD ROM Sound input to anything higher than "0" On an IBM machine it might help to start the Wave Editor Applet to restore your CD Sound ( sounds strange, but works ! ) Q: Albatros shows a totally black display ( I had Version 1.2 and everything was fine, now i upgraded to 1.5 ) A: The color selector has changed. Please go to Notebook Page Three and Select COLOR-DEFAULT, this will restore your Colors. Q: What is the Font Developers Kit good for ? A: To create you own LCD Style Fonts ( It requires the OS/2 Programming Toolkit ) Q: I had quite a few Titles entered in CD EXPLORER, do I have to type them again? A: No, use the StealTXT.CMD file for extracting titles from the CD Eplorer INI File Q: When i try to select a new color from the color palette and drop it on the color preview page, the color of the background is changed, but not the foreground A: Please use CTRL-Right mouse button to change foreground color Q: I am using WARP II Beta and there is no CD ROM Support ? A : *) Open a session (Dos or Os/2) *) change directory to /mmos2 *) edit the mmpm2.ini file... *) add the CDaudio line to the drivers section, e.g. [Drivers] Digitalvideo=IBMDIGVIDPLAYER01 Waveaudio=IBMWAVESB01 Sequencer=IBMSEQSB01 Ampmix=IBMAMPMIXSB01 Speaker=SPEAKER Headphone=HEADPHONE Microphone=MICROPHONE CDaudio=IBMCD010_1 <---------------------add this *) add the following to the end of the file...

The Spanish Inquisition ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition, not even in this documentation Voice over film of Medieval Europe "In the early years of the 16th century, in an attempt to quell the rising tide of religious unorthodoxy, the pope agve Cardinal Ximenez of Spain leave to move without let or hindrance in a reign of violence and terror that makes a smashing film...This was the Spanish Inquisition... The door flies open and Cardinal Ximinez of Spain (Palin) enters, flanked by two junior cardinals. Cardinal Biggles (Jones) has goggles pushed over his forehead. Cardinal Fang (Gilliam) is just Cardinal Fang Ximinez: NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is suprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again. Exit and exeunt Chapman: I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition. The cardinals burst in Ximinez: NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, and nice red uniforms - Oh damn! To Cardinal Biggles I can't say it - you'll have to say it. Biggles: What? Ximinez: You'll have to say the bit about 'Our chief weapons are ...' Biggles: rather horrified I couldn't do that... Ximinez bundles the cardinals outside again Chapman: I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition The cardinals enter Biggles: Er.... Nobody...um.... Ximinez: Expects... Biggles: Expects... Nobody expects the...um...the Spanish...um... Ximinez: Inquisition. Biggles: I know, I know! Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. In fact, those who do expect - Ximinez: Our chief weapons are... Biggles: Our chief weapons are...um...er... Ximinez: Surprise... Biggles: Surprise and -- Ximinez: Okay, stop. Stop. Stop there - stop there. Stop. Phew! Ah! ...our chief weapons are surprise...blah blah blah. Cardinal, read the charges. Fang: You are hereby charged that you did on diverse dates commit heresy against the Holy Church. 'My old man said follow the--' Biggles: That's enough. To Cleveland Now, how do you plead? Cleveland: We're innocent. Ximinez: Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Superimposed caption: 'DIABOLICAL LAUGHTER' Biggles: We'll soon change your mind about that! Superimposed caption: 'DIABOLICAL ACTING' Ximinez: Fear, surprise, and a most ruthless-- controls himself with a supreme effort Ooooh! Now, Cardinal -- the rack! Biggles produces a plastic-coated dish-drying rack. Ximinez looks at it and clenches his teeth in an effort not to lose control. He hums heavily to cover his anger Ximinez: You....Right! Tie her down. Fang and Biggles make a pathetic attempt to tie her on to the drying rack Ximinez: Right! How do you plead? Cleveland: Innocent. Ximinez: Ha! Right! Cardinal, give the rack (oh dear) give the rack a turn. Biggles stands their awkwardly and shrugs his shoulders Biggles: I.... Ximinez: gritting his teeth I *know*, I know you can't. I didn't want to say anything. I just wanted to try and ignore your crass mistake. Biggles: I... Ximinez: It makes it all seem so stupid. Biggles: Shall I...? Ximinez: No, just pretend for God's sake. Ha! Ha! Ha! Biggles turns an imaginary handle on the side of the dish-rack Cut to them torturing a dear old lady, Marjorie Wilde Ximinez: Now, old woman -- you are accused of heresy on three counts -- heresy by thought, heresy by word, heresy by deed, and heresy by action -- *four* counts. Do you confess? Wilde: I don't understand what I'm accused of. Ximinez: Ha! Then we'll make you understand! Biggles! Fetch...THE CUSHIONS! Biggles holds out two ordinary modern household cushions Biggles: Here they are, lord. Ximinez: Now, old lady -- you have one last chance. Confess the heinous sin of heresy, reject the works of the ungodly -- *two* last chances. And you shall be free -- *three* last chances. You have three last chances, the nature of which I have divulged in my previous utterance. Wilde: I don't know what you're talking about. Ximinez: Right! If that's the way you want it -- Cardinal! Poke her with the soft cushions! Biggles carries out this rather pathetic torture Ximinez: Confess! Confess! Confess! Biggles: It doesn't seem to be hurting her, lord. Ximinez: Have you got all the stuffing up one end? Biggles: Yes, lord. Ximinez angrily hurling away the cushions Hm! She is made of harder stuff! Cardinal Fang! Fetch...THE COMFY CHAIR! Zoom into Fang's horrified face Fang terrified : The...Comfy Chair? Biggles pushes in a comfy chair -- a really plush one Ximinez: So you think you are strong because you can survive the soft cushions. Well, we shall see. Biggles! Put her in the Comfy Chair! They roughly push her into the Comfy Chair Ximinez with a cruel leer Now -- you will stay in the Comfy Chair until lunch time, with only a cup of coffee at eleven. aside, to Biggles Is that really all it is? Biggles: Yes, lord. Ximinez: I see. I suppose we make it worse by shouting a lot, do we? Confess, woman. Confess! Confess! Confess! Confess! Biggles: I confess! Ximinez: Not you!
