1/23/03 - New zip package posted on web site. Should fix "Bad CRC Error" in Winzip.
Current problems: DOSamp does not work in a true telnet sandbox.
Easy Directions:Windows 9x/ME:After downloading DOSamp, unzip the files into your Windows\Command directory. If this directory doesn't exist, unzip to your Windows\System directory Windows NT/2000/XP:Unzip the files into your Windows\System32 directory.
|
Hard Directions (better):Create a DOSamp directory. Add the DOSamp directory to your system's PATH statement. Unzip the files into the DOSamp directory.

The DOSamp package consists of a number of different commands, and one command that can produce the function of the other commands. Not that these functions tend to encompass things that can't be done by calling the winamp executable. Most importantly, they will not automatically start winamp for you.
An example of using these commands would be to type "Play" which would cause winamp to start playing the current song/playlist. One could also do the same thing by typing "DOSamp /play". Typing just "DOSamp" will tell you winamp's status.
| Command | Switches | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Play | Winamp's Play button | |
| /CD | Play an Audio CD as a Playlist | |
| {filename} | Enqueue an specific file or playlist | |
| PlayCD | Play an Audio CD as a Playlist | |
| EnQueue {filename} | Enqueue an specific file or playlist | |
| KillList | Clear the current playlist | |
| DaPause | Pause Winamp
Q: "Why 'DaPause' and not just 'Pause'?" A: Because DOS already has a command called pause. You can rename the file to be whatever you want the command to be, just remember that it must not conflict with any preexisting commands. |
