PLAYCD version 0.9  November 1995 release.

This is a little text mode cdplayer for Linux.  I wrote this as an excersise
to learn how the kernel CD audio functions worked.  Be warned there isn't
much error trapping code in this program.

I have only tested this program with the sbpcd driver using a Panasonic
drive.  I know it will not work with a scsi drive because the scsi 
CD-ROM driver doesn't recognize the CDROMPLAYTRKIND ioctl.

Features: play, pause/resume, stop, prev/next track,
          volume control, eject, elapsed/remaining timer,
          track & cd repeat modes.

Operation is self explanetory once the program is running.

An ELF binary should have been included with this distribution.
It REQUIRES the libc-5.0.9.so share library.

There is also a statically linked ELF version of PLAYCD (playcd-static) if 
you don't have libc-5.0.9.so

There are reports that these binaries won't run.  You may have to recompile
especially if you are running an A.OUT ONLY system.

Should you need to recompile:
Just type 'make clean all' in the playcd source directory and you'll
have it, I hope ;-)

Thanks to Thomas McWilliams for Workbone.  It was a valuable study aid.
