===========
Description
===========

CDEveryWhere creates cross-platform CD images. It supports Microsoft Windows
Joliet), Unix (RockRidge) and Apple Macintosh (HFS). CDEveryWhere is easy to 
use with a drag and drop interface. You don't need to be a master CD expert 
to create a professional master CD. It creates a raw image that can be 
recorded with most CDR/CDRW software. The software runs on most operating 
systems and supports multiple languages.

Windows and Unix users can create Macintosh CDs without a Macintosh or 
Macintosh hard drive. MacBinary, BinHex and the Apple-Unix Filesystem are 
decoded on the fly. Windows and Macintosh users can specify Unix owner/group 
identification. CD images can also be made from FTP sites and preserve 
permissions, owner/group identification and symbolic links.
Files may be common to all platforms or specific to a platform on a 
single CD.

===========
Limitations
===========
This software is a shareware version of the personal edition of
CDEveryWhere. Included on each CD created with the unregistered version
of this software is a "demoonly.txt" file. Registering your copy
will remove this file.

Please see the LICENSE.TXT file for distribution restrictions on CDs created
with this software.

===================
System Requirements
===================

CDEveryWhere runs on any Java 1.1 enabled platform. It requires 24MB of
total system memory and 9MB of disk space (this may vary depending on your
system).

This is a Java 1.1 application and therefore requires the Java Runtime
Environment (JRE) 1.1.5 or higher. You may get the JRE from the
following sources:

    http://www.javasoft.com                        - Java's home site
    http://www.cdeverywhere.com/jre117Bi-win32.exe - Windows users
    http://www.blackdown.org                       - Linux i386 JRE 1.1.7
    http://www.apple.com/macos/java                - Macintosh users
      (Macintosh users must have the Macintosh Runtime for Java 2.1 or higher)

Windows users may also have download CDEveryWhere with the JRE included. If
so, you do not need to download or install the JRE.

WARNING: Do not use Java 2 (aka JRE 1.2)! It is slow and will require much
more memory than JRE 1.1.

CDEveryWhere creates ISO images for CDs. You will need a CDR or CDRW drive,
at least one blank CDR/CDRW disc (the software does not currently support
multisession), and software to write the ISO image to the disc. Most software
included with the drive can do this. Please see
http://www.cdeverywhere.com/download.html for links to other CDR software.

Languages
=========

CDEveryWhere is designed to support multiple languages. It will detect the
language your computer uses and use it, if the translation is available. Some
languages have been translated using automated software and we are in the
process of verifying and correcting the translation. If your language doesn't
look right, please check our update page at
http://www.cdeverywhere.com/updates.html for a newer i18n.jar file. If that
doesn't solve the problem, you may select another language using the
alternative starting options provided. For Windows, there are several start
menu items that select the language. Macintosh users will find an application
for each language. Unix and other users can specify one of the following
options to the program:

    -lang=en         for English
    -lang=fr         for French
    -lang=de         for German
    -lang=es         for Spanish
    -lang=it         for Italian
    -lang=pt         for Portugeuse
    -lang=zh         for Simplified Chinese
    -lang=zh,TW      for Traditional Chinese
