My favourite "ixemul.library" version is still "48.0".
But the problem is I want to use FFmpeg and FFplay, which require
"ixemul.library version 63.1".

If I knew how I would write a patch program which would direct a specific
program to a specific library version, similar to the way "NewMode"
re-directs a programs screen mode to another.

Since I dont know how to write such a program at the moment I use scripts
to deal with this problem.

In my "libs:" assign I have added the extension ".63" to the "63.1" ix set.

Script descriptions:-

ixemul63 :- Changes the ix set version from "48.0" to "63.1".
ixemul48 :- Changes the ix set version from "63.1" to "48.0".
verix    :- Displays current ix set version.

The "DM_#?" scripts are for the DiskMaster directory utility to be used
with FFmpeg and FFplay. They can also be easily adapted to any other
directory utility.

The "DM_#?" scripts will automatically change the ix set version to "63.1"
in order to run FFmpeg or FFplay, and then change the ix set version back
to my prefered default "48.0".

I have the following lines in my DiskMaster configuration to complement
these scripts:-

AddCmd FFplay, 32, 03, extern c:execute cc:DM_FFplay %s
AddCmd FFplay2, 42, 04, extern c:execute cc:DM_FFplay2 %s
AddMenu SND, X to MP3, StdIO "CON:0/12/740/400/ FFmpeg MP3";extern c:execute cc:DM_FFmpegG %s %d%n.mp3;StdIO CLOSE
AddMenu SND, X to AIFF, StdIO "CON:0/12/740/400/ FFmpeg AIFF";extern c:execute cc:DM_FFmpegG %s %d%n.aiff;StdIO CLOSE
AddMenu GFX, Vid to AVI, StdIO "CON:0/12/740/400/ FFmpeg AVI";extern c:execute cc:DM_FFmpeg %s %d%n;StdIO CLOSE
AddMenu GFX, Vid to MOV, StdIO "CON:0/12/740/400/ FFmpeg MOV";extern c:execute cc:DM_FFmpegG %s %d%n.mov;StdIO CLOSE
AddMenu GFX, Vid to MPG, StdIO "CON:0/12/740/400/ FFmpeg MPG";extern c:execute cc:DM_FFmpegG %s %d%n.mpg;StdIO CLOSE
