Here's the summary of my question on audio CD.
First, the original question:
> Is there a utility that will let me play audio
> compact disks on my external CD-ROM drive? There's
> a headphone port on the thing, but I can't find
> the software to run the drive as a cd player...
>
> BTW, I'm running Solaris 2.4 on a SPARC2...
Nearly everybody who responded pointed to a freeware
program called workman, which is available via ftp
from ftp.hyperion.com. One person (Mark Hargrave) was
even kind enough to send me a compiled copy, since he
realized that my OS is cc-free...
Another program mentioned is xmcd, which is a motif
based tool, similar to workman. There were also a
couple of references to a program called xcdplayer,
which I'd located already, but couldn't use 'cause
I don't have the compiler package.

Raspberries to tkevans@eplrx7.es.duPont.com (Tim Evans),
who sent me a rather bitter note, dismissing my question
as "trivial crap." Since at least 3 other persons on this
list asked to be copied on my findings, and since a couple
of responses gave me incorrect information, I'd like to think
that my question, while being far from earth-shattering, is
not "trivial crap," and provided others admins with some
useful information.
Thanks again to all.
