Leon,
You know that Linux has a REXX interperter also! So you could rewrite those scripts a little and copy wavs and mids to Linux (lots of command line utils to play them). Such as "wavplay" it is on the SuSE CD and under All about Sound in YaST.
Hmm, thanx, I did see somewhere something about rexx being available for linux and if that version has the same capabilities as the version for OS/2, it would simplify things quite a bit, since in os2 I made use of some library calls to adjust the volumn and play the music rather than using the "play" command from the commandline. If I am able to do that, then that would actually suit my purposes a lot easier as it would give me more control over volumn and determining (as I did in os2) when to exit the script (the library calls returned the effective playtime of the sound) and all I had to do was to maintain a running count until "45 minutes" has been exceeded:-) It also allowed me to generate some statistics as far as play time vs file size:-) I'll have to check into wavplay and see what that is all about:-) Is it also available in Suse 5.1 which I am currently running? I did discover (at least with the play command) that it doesn't really matter where the .wav file is, it will play anyway (I was playing some of the desktop sounds in a hpfs partition:-) Thanx Loads! -- cya l8r Leon McClatchey leonmcclatchey@homemail.com Linux User 78912 (Win95 Box) - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
