Hi again.

I debugged your program and found a bug of my own in Exotica.
The GDI_TEXTOUT_CENTER function returns a value of 1 if
it is successful which suppose to return a 0. My advice
for now is not to error check the GDI routines until I can release
the next version of Exotica.

I noticed in the MainLoop() that two of the GDI_TEXTOUT_CENTER
routines had the atom 'toinfo' still in them in which it looked
like you meant to have the 'str' atom there. Also, when you allocated
the string "CURRENT TRACK: %d", you still had the atom 'ctrack'
instead of the atom 'curtrack'.

And just place that REPORT_MODE routine before the EXOTICA_INIT
call and everything should run fine.

Hope this helps...

Oh, I hope to get to see the end result of the graphical interface
for it. That would be cool to see. Also I wanted to note that
the next version of Exotica will have open cd door, close cd door
and volume control.
