                  CDCOPY.EXE V4.744 (C) by Markus Barth
                  =====================================

    This module allows you to write audio-tracks from CD
    to disk. Registered users are able to write these files
    to a CD-Writer.

    Running under Windows-95/98 the program only works
    with SCSI or ATAPI-CDROM/CD-R, which support this
    special mode.

    Using WINDOWS-NT it is possible to use the generic WIN32
    interface to read the CDDA-tracks. By default, the module
    starts detecting an ASPI-interface. If it is not available
    the generic interface is used.

    The following hardware was tested:          Speed
    Adaptec 2940, Plextor CD-ROM 8XCS,             8X
                  RICOH 14020C,                    2X
                  TOSHIBA 3401                     1X
                  TOSHIBA 6002B                    1X
                  TOSHIBA 6201                    12X
                  PIONEER DR-U24X                  4X
                  UltraPlex                       25X
                  UltraPlex 40 max                30X
                  Sony CDU711                     10X
                  Philips CDRW3610                 7X
                  CyberDrive                       8X
                  Yamaha CDRW 4260                 7X
                  Yamaha CDRW 4416                11X               
                  TEAC CDR55S                     13X
                  Philips PCS403CD                11X
                  Liteon LTN382                   10X
                  Toshiba SD-W1101                 1X
                  Sony CRX 100E                   10X

    These are not all supported drives, but those I test with!     

    It's fully functional under Windows-95/98 and Windows-NT 3.51/4.x.

    For both operating systems I used EZ-SCSI 4.00, 4.01
    as ASPI-interfaces.

    The following versions were tested:

    WNASPI32.DLL    22528  -> EZ-SCSI 4.01
    WNASPI32.DLL    21504  -> EZ-SCSI 4.00
    WNASPI32.DLL    48128  -> EZ-SCSI 4.57

    excessive testing and permanent incentive and Dilhelson
    Mendonca for a sleepless week caused by his conversion trip.


                               Attention!

    Starting with version 3.701 I have to change the Freeware
    status to Shareware. Excessive bills for my internet
    activities doesn't allow me to improve CDCOPY for free.
    Answering many e-mails, updates etc. are too expensive.

    So if you want to make the CDCOPY-project go further
    send 20 US $ to:
