Version francaise / Deutsche Übersetzung
Workbone is a audio CD-player which runs in text mode. Thus, if you are working under Unix, you don't need to launch a graphical environment (like X Window) to use it. In particular, if you have to stop and relaunch this environment, during a test phase, if it doesn't function correctly or if you prefer working at the console, Workbone is probably the only CD=player that you can use.
WorkBone's author, Thomas McWilliams, wanted to write a programm as simple as possible. So he didn't give a function of sound volume control, what can sometimes appear as an inconvenient.
The version of WorkBone that is presented here adds this feature, with means of the + and - keys of the numeric keypad (which was already used by the original programm).
