You can get it from the TRPlayer home page, which is at: http://www.linux-speakup.org/trplayer.html Changes since TRPlayer 1.1.5: - TRPlayer can now display a continuously updated status line. This feature is most useful for sighted people and users of Braille displays. - TRPlayer can now read commands from standard input, regardless of whether standard input is a terminal. Emacspeak 13.0 takes advantage of this feature. - The documentation has been rewritten in the GNU Texinfo format. Changes of interest to developers: - TRPlayer now uses an Autoconf and Automake to standardize the compilation process and improve portability to Unix platforms besides Linux. - The code now follows the GNU coding style. What needs to be done before the final release: - Implement presets so that the user can quickly start a favorite stream or resume listening in the middle of a stream. - Possibly implement sound card mixer control, as in the standard RealPlayer. -- Matt Campbell Web site: http://www.pobox.com/~mattcampbell/ ICQ #: 33005941
