Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: Enhanced PLAY.CMD with play list support

Hi folks.  I've been doing some REXX hacking lately and made some 
modifications to the standard PLAY.CMD script that IBM ships with  MMOS/2.

After installing Timidity_MCD, I found that playing too many files  with 
the current PLAY.CMD script resulted in losing my sound on the system  and
hanging the script.  It turns out that the current version of PLAY doesn't
free up all of its resources in all cases.  I believe I've  fixed  this
problem, in addition to adding other capabilities.

My version of PLAY supports a play list (file containing a list of  media
clips to play), and is capable of randomizing them.  It can be 
interrupted cleanly with CTRL-Break and can even recover the audio  device
in some cases from an errant REXX script if something goes  wrong. 

I figured I'd put it out there in case anyone else found it useful.  You
can grab it here:
