Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.announce From: efc@wonder.mit.edu (Eric Celeste) Subject: SUBMISSION: Laserdisc.app on sonata.cc.purdue.edu Reply-To: efc@mit.edu Organization: Next Announcements Approved: sanguish@digifix.com Laserdisc.app: a NeXTSTEP 3.0 Application to control a Sony LDP. This application is a work in progress, but feel free to use it or the source code in any way you like. I needed a remote control for a Sony laserdisc player so I wrote this up. This app did the trick, with a few flaws, but now my NeXT is miles from my laserdisc player so I'll probably never fix the flaws. Please note, as this application currently stands, it only supports Sony laserdisc players, not Pioneer. Someone with a Pioneer laserdisc player and Objective-C skills should have very little problem creating a new subclass of my LDPlayer object to handle Pioneer. Most of the description of the various objects is in the .m source files. Please look there for details. I'd like to especially thank Michael Hawley for the original source for the SerialPort object, I'm sure my changes to that object have only made it less elegant and trustworthy! I'd also like to thank David Small for his Ultrix code that was my only documentation for the Sony for weeks, the SonyLDPcodes.h file was lifted straight from his Ultrix project. Note: Laserdisc.compress includes source code, LaserdiscAppOnly.compress does not. Both have been put in the pub/next/submissions directory of sonata.cc.purdue.edu. Enjoy!
