Multimedia Package


This is an announcement for version 2.1 of the multimedia package. The package currently contains:

XPlaycd
is a program to use your cdrom as an audio player featuring playlists, a database and volume control.
XMdb
Standalone editor for your cd database.
XMixer
gives you control over your soundcard's mixer device and lets you change a bunch of volume and level settings.
XGetfile
a versatile file requester usable in shell scripts or standalone. A small example which uses it as a front-end to an audio file player is included in the manpage.
XG3
allows you to view FAX files. This one has scrollbars, rotate and zoom buttons. If you set up a fax printer driver, you can print from XG3. (see also: Bubbletools).
All programs have a nice 3D look and feel. You don't need no silly libraries like Motif or anything else. Detailed manpages for all programs but XMdb and XG3 are included. The manpage for XMdb and XG3 are under construction (Why don't YOU write one? :-)

The sourcecode hides here. See also the lsm-entry.

Hope you enjoy it,
