- Programming function for JukeBox (© Franz-Josef Reichert)
-
- Requirements:
-
- JukeBox
- An Amiga with kickstart 2.0 or newer
- AREXX
-
- "History" and how it works:
-
- JukeBox is a great program with many functions normal audio CD players don`t have,
- but I`ve been missing a simple programming function like the ones of even the most
- simple normal CD-players. Well, you don`t need this very often, but in my opinion
- it makes the program even more perfect. In order to keep work at a minimum level
- I decided to combine an AREXX-script and a small program. The script just reads the
- contents of the inserted CD and passes it to the program using a temporary file.
- The program lets the user spectify the order for playing the audio tracks. When
- finished, it writes the numbers to another temporary file which can be parsed by
- the AREXX-Script.
-
- Installation and usage:
-
- Just copy the files prog.jb and Prog-GUI to your JukeBox directory.
- Start it by using an F-key (e.g. tooltype "MACRO_1=prog") or by typing
- "prog" from the JukeBox REXX-shell.
-
- Known problems:
-
- My english is not as good as it should be after nine years at school :-)
- Give me a hint if you find any bugs.
- In the case that at the end of a track there are a few nanoseconds more or
- less than expected, just change the line in the last part of the script
- which reads:
- 'subtime stoptime "00:01:00"' accordingly.
-
- legal stuff:
-
- I am not responsible for anything.
- This software is JOKEWARE.
- If you like it, send me your favourite joke.
- The script and the program may be copied freely (my program, not JukeBox!).
- In the case that anybody has modified the program or script in order to
- remove bugs or to make great improvements I would like him (or her) to
- send me the modified version.
- If you change major parts of the program, rewrite it or use it for other
- purposes I would like to appear in the part "thanks go to..." :-]
- If you translate it to other languages: please send!
-
- Attention:

- in this style, don`t hesitate and tell me!
- If you want to complain or to send me valuables or just want to tell me
- that you like this program or whatever,
