Windows XP: volume control

Windows XP: volume control edit

2018-5-18 : Now available on SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/volume-controls-cmdline/files/

bll 2016-12-19 Finding the code to handle Windows XP volume was a bit difficult. Builds a stand-alone executable or loadable Tcl stub.

load [file join [pwd] winxpvolume[info sharedlibextension]]
set vol [winxpvolume] ; # get the volume
incr vol -10
set newvol [winxpvolume $vol] ; # set the volume, always returns the current volume.
