Welcome to CDinaBox Version 1.61 for OS/2 2.x and above November 1995.

This is a program to play audio CD's using MMPM/2.

The only file required to run the program is CDinaBox.exe .  This program
will generate 2 files in the same directory as CDinaBox.exe. They are
CDBox.Dat and CDinaBox.ini . CDinaBox.hlp is the help file only and is
not required to run the program. MMPM/2 must be installed on the system first.
CDBoxOut.CMD file can be used to remove CDinaBox from your hard disk. It
will also remove the entry from the OS2.INI file.

Installation.
To install the program just copy the CDinaBox.exe and CDinaBox.hlp files
to a directory of your choice and copy a program template from the
template folder on the desktop to the location you want CDinaBox to be.

Upgrade Notes.
If you are upgrading from a version prior to 1.5 then the first time you
use each of the Control Panel's you will have to go to the system menu
( Top Left hand icon on the Control Panel ) and select "Default Size"
so that the Control Panel will be redrawn to the new slightly bigger size.

If you had a version of CDinaBox prior to 1.4 you can use the conversion
program, CDBoxcvt.exe, to convert your CDinaBox.dat file to the new format so
it can be read by the program. To run the conversion program just open an
OS/2 command line and go to the same directory as CDinaBox.dat and run
CDBoxcvt.exe /? for instructions.

Features.
Custom CD's - You can add track information to a CD to create your own CD's. 
                     (Skip over the intro of a song or add tracks to a Disc
                     that only has 1)

Track Status - Give each track a status ( Favorite, Ordinary or Horrible ) and
                     only play the types you want to.

Icon Selection - Select your favorite icons to represent tracks of different
                     types.

Track Views - View tracks in different views like a normal folder.

Control Panel - Hide the main window and use the Control Panel to run the
                     player. Use the normal, mini or maxi Control Panel.

Play Order - Play tracks at random, in the order you select them, by track
                  status or use Drag and drop to change the Play order.

Hold Mode - When in hold mode you can remove the CD from the drive to copy
                  files from a data disc and then restore the music disc and
                  pickup playing from the exact position you stopped at.

-And lots more.
