Voyager CDLink (VCD) Control Language Reference For Voyager CDLink version 1.0b1 subject to continual revision; last modified 8 August 1995 General: The Voyager CDLink software is designed to play Voyager CDLink control files (VCDs). A VCD is a text file containing commands like play, pause, delay, or loop, followed often by track or time figure(s). The vocabulary and grammar of VCDs comprises the VCD control language, developed by Voyager for CDLink. This document describes the VCD control language, and is annotated with HTML links to examples. A CDLink Web page is simply one that contains links to VCDs. Working with VCDs You can open and study the VCDs linked to this document in any text editor, edit them to suit your purposes, and create your own CDLink application within minutes, be it a Web page, a folder full of custom mixes for your figure-skating routines, or part of a more elaborate media project. While a third-party authoring tool for Mac OS is available, and Voyager is currently developing CDLog, a cross-platform VCD authoring tool, no special tools are needed to get started, and many may prefer to make VCDs "by hand" in any case, especially until the concepts become clear. Sound intimidating? Web pages for the first 25 CDs enhanced with CDLink were prepared in just a few days by a handful of liberal-arts graduates using only text editors (BBEdit, SimpleText) and the AppleCD Audio Player desk accessory. NotePad and Media Player are common Windows equivalents of these Mac OS tools. A VCD should be named with the extension ".vcd". This identifies the file properly to Windows computers and to Web servers. In the Mac OS, VCDs must have the creator attribute "VGCD" in order to be double-click testable (otherwise, you can just drag-and-drop a plain text file onto CDLink Kernel). Several excellent shareware utilities are available for setting Mac OS file attributes. BBEdit can even save files directly with the VGCD (CDLink Kernel) creator attribute, allowing you to test VCDs while their windows remain open for editing. Because BBEdit is also a powerful HTML formatting tool, we recommend it highly. Easiest of all is to use an existing VCD (downloaded from this page) as a template--drag a VCD onto any text editor and edit away, while double-clicking the file to test as you go! You can use a word processor to make and edit VCDs, but if you do, remember to save the files as plain (ascii) text--not the default format. Serving VCDs on the Web Web servers must be updated to map VCDs' new MIME type of application/x-cdlink to the .vcd extension before they can serve CDLink files properly. Do this by having your server's system administrator edit the mime.types file in the CONF subdirectory of the browser daemon directory. Add the following line to the file: application/x-cdlink vcd The server may need to be restarted to register the change. The VCD Control Language This section uses the following notation: CAPITALIZED WORDS - A command o…

Soon you will engage several rival colonies on the surface of Gallius IV. I realize that the events of the past few weeks are bewildering, many of you have never run a colony before. Do not worry. All of your colonies should thrive in your more than capable hands (and claws). Through a special provision of the Compact of Gallius IV, I, Oolan, may provide you all with this portfolio of information. Most of it was gleaned from the files I have in my shipboard data sys- tem. The technology, military, and building information is all accurate. However, I have kept the details about the races brief, as the complete history of each culture would fill many volumes! Instead, I have selected only the information that will aid in your strategic planning. I have also included a brief synopsis that explains how we got into this horrible deadlock. It is up to you to end the stalemate and stop this brewing galactic war. If the Compact is unable to resolve our problems there could be a war as huge as any of our past major conflicts. Please accept my apologies for tossing this together so quickly. Since the Compact was signed I have been frantically trying to make this as accurate as I can. I find myself in the unexpected position of being your consultant; originally I came here only to help survey Gallius IV! I hope you will find my meager assistance satisfactory. The planet awaits! -- Oolan, Gallius IV Observer THE PLANET, GALLIUS IV Discovered just a short time ago, Gallius IV has drawn all the known space faring races into a battle over it. Located in a remote solar system inside the sensor-shadowed eddies of the Omicron Nebula, this planet is one of the richest and most mysterious worlds ever known. Hospitable planets have certainly become rare in our rapidly shrinking universe. Gallius IV would never have been located without the help of a broken runestone, the pieces of which are in the hands of both the devious Cyth and the telepathic Re'Lu. The runestone seems to have been carved by a race that has disappeared, possibly conquered by the Skirineen centuries ago. Because of their recent defeat by the combined forces of the seven galactic races, the Ski…

Paul Snively Sean Lally Dave Zobel Ivan Enriquez Welcome to the Infocom Comedy Collection! Close to twenty year · ago, a game called Zork took the MIT campus by storm. Following on the heels of the very fir ·t interactive fiction game, Zork opened up a whole new realm of gameplay. The creators of these text adventures strove for surprising plot twists, mysterious unknown worlds to explore and intrigu- ing characters previously only found in role-playing games like "Dungeons and Dragons'." " The purpose of these games was to challenge the imagination with computerized fiction , and the popularity of this new gaming experience soon gave rise Lo the creation of the company Infocom . Infocom created an unparalleled modern form of literature that no other game company has attempt- ed to explore. The unique text adventures in this collection carry the strength of a good novel which has been taken to a new level inviting the player to take an active role in the storyline. We at Activision appreciate the sustained interest and support that our Infocom games have received for two decades. As a significant piece of video game history, Activision i…

Ani Moller One o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock rock Evolution MK-249C and Mac OS X 10.x I bought an Evolution MK-249C a few days ago and for the life of me couldn’t get it working on my MacBook Pro with Logic or GarageBand. Apparently this is a Panther and Snow Leopard issue. It would show as a USB driver in System Profiler but wouldn’t show up as a MIDI device in either software. I googled and googled and couldn’t find anything. Finally, I found this thread on the M-Audio site with a solution. I’ve saved these two files on my site in case they ever disappear! 1 Install the Evolution USB driver 2 Run KextUtility 3 Make music 4 Profit??! 5 This entry was posted on Tuesday, August 10th, 2010 at 11:13 pm and is filed under Technology.

Making files smaller can free up valuable space on your hard disk. It can also reduce the number of floppy disks needed to save back-up copies of important files. If you transfer files between computers using modems, you can save time and money by first compressing the files since compressed files usually take significantly less time to transmit. Compact Pro also supports “archives”. An archive is a collection of files and folders which are combined into a single unit. By gr…
