cmdmp3 VS svd_bin

Some things I built on the side, outside of my day job:

In the late 90's, I sold a command-line SMTP e-mailer for Windows. It was easy enough for folks to integrate e-mail transmission into their systems ... even 16-bit systems since spawning a copy of the shell would allow 16-bit systems to invoke my 32-bit mailer. Lots of folks had used these tools for all sorts of things. I got registration checks and cash from around the world before I started taking credit card payments.

I have an open source command-line MP3 player for Windows that folks still use and incorporate into their systems, JS libraries for node.js, ...etc.

I wrote a command-line MP3 player in C for Windows. I just wanted to play with the media manger API's, but I've ended up using this to play MP3's in succession via a script.

It doesn't work on all versions of Windows ... it depends on some configuration elements. This has been used in another developer's video game and I believe it's installed with an MP3 player library in node.js ( if you're running node.js under Windows. ) It also plays WAV files on Windows 10 (possibly 11) if you pass the name of a WAV file into the command-line.

I needed a command-line emailer that would send an email with a very simple one-line body for my Mac. I also wanted to exercise Go's SMTP libraries while experimenting with trying to build a minimal emailer application.

I use this regularly. I used to use it on MacOS, but I use it more frequently on Windows.

if anyone's interested in "independent" vim keybindings, made to work same in both insert and view modes (and a few different terminals), this is what i use for over.. 25years (?) Basically, few keys like old DOS PE2.exe or (later) e3.exe, and the like, then adding more with years. Like F2 for save, F3 for abandon, Ctrl-F/A for find forward/backward etc. Plus some other stuff that turns vim into kind-a IDE (grepping etc).

have fun

(ah, and the dual/multi mode-ness of vim adds extra layer inside it - making say ctrl-U to do undo always isn't that easy)

Each of those layers can vary, in different distro's, terminals, versions of same thing, etc. Especialy each and every (X-)terminal-thingie having different idea of how to map (or not) ctrl-F2. Some of them going back to the 197x ..

i have tried to make myself a one-mapping-fits-all (say, pressing F2 does ls -alF in terminal+shell, and saves-the-buffer in vim, no matter what/where/when), collecting variants and combinations for last ~25+ years - incl. linux-console and even dos mapping.. and it works mostly.. but still, no silver bullet.

everything may be remapped to your liking.. eventually. YMMV.
