My program is called "clips" and relies on mime.types and mailcap to decide what players to use for what formats. It creates a list of all the playable files in a specified directory and then plays them in the way you request. The parameter "all" plays them in alphabetical order by filename, "any" picks just one of them to play at random, "mix" plays the list randomly without replacement (so each selection gets played just once), and without any parameter it just plays items randomly until the power fails or the cows come home, whichever happens first! My program is written in C++ and does not have any keyboard controls. Everything is specified on the command line. The format is: $ clips <directoryname> [parameter] Chuck On Thu, 11 Apr 2002, Gregory Nowak wrote: > Hmmm, I thought that Chuck H had created something similar a wile back.
