Readme.txt File for CD Player for Windows v 1.0.

INTRODUCTION:

   Thank you for choosing CD Player for Windows. CD Player 
   is distributed in two testware forms:
 
   The first, the larger of the two, contains all files, 
   including VBRUN100.DLL, and a complete setup program.  
   This larger file is approximately 314,000 bytes long 
   in its zipped mode (due to size of VBRUN).
  
   The second, is much smaller as it contains only those
   files needed to execute the program and its help file.
   The second file assumes that the user has knowledge of 
   both DOS and Windows, and can easily place the 
   necessary files where they belog, by following the 
   instructions here in this file.
  
   The second file was created primarily to speed up 
   download transfers for those who had a working knowledge
   of their Windows system.  This file is approximately
   114,000 bytes long.
 
   If you have downloaded or acquired the condensed version 
   of the zip, please follow the instructions below for 
   installation.
  

FOR USERS WITH THE SMALL ZIPPED VERSION (5 Files):

   We assume that you know enough about directory trees
   and structures that you will be able to carry the 
   following out,...

   If you don't have VBRUN100.DLL, you must acquire it 
   from either a friend, or a service like Compuserve.
   VBRUN100.DLL should be located in your Windows 
   directory.

   The files included in this zip are:

   CDPLAYER.EXE (Program File)
   CDPLAYER.HLP (The CD Player Windows Help File)
   MCI.VBX
   PICCLIP.VBX
   README.TXT (This File!)

   Copy "Picclip.vbx" and "Mci.vbx" to your Windows\System 
   directory.  The other three files, CDPLAYER.EXE, 
   CDPLAYER.HLP, and README.TXT can be put in any
   subdirectory you like.

   That's all there is to it.  Just add it to one of your
   Program Manager groups, and you're ready to go!

FOR USERS WITH THE LARGE ZIPPED VERSION (11 Files):

   This zip file contains all software necessary to do a  
   regular Windows setup.  Unzip the file to a clean 
   diskette.  This can be either a 3.5 " 720 or 1.44 MB
   disk, or a High Density 5.25" Floppy.  All necessary 
   files WILL NOT FIT ON A Double Sided/Double Density 
   5.25" diskette.

   Or, you can unzip the files to a clean directory on
   your hard disk drive.

   The files contained in this zip are:

   SETUP.EXE (Setup program)
   SETUP1.EXE (Support program for Setup)
   SETUPKIT.DL_ (Support file for Setup)
   VBRUN100.DL_ (Runtime Module)
   VER.DL_ (Version Checking Library)
   SETUP.LST (Support File for Setup)
   CDPLAYER.EXE (The Player Program)
   CDPLAYER.HLP (CD Player's Help File)
   MCI.VBX (Necessary DLL)
   PICCLIP.VBX (Necessary DLL)
   README.TXT (This Readme File!)

   To install CD Player for Windows, go to the File or
   Program Manager, choose the file menu, then the Run
   menu option.  When the program prompts you for the file
   name to run, type in either...

   A:\setup (if your setting up from the "A" floppy drive)

   B:\setup (if you are installing from a "B" floppy drive)

      or...

   (DriveLetter) :\ (DirectoryName) \setup (if you unzipped
      to a hard disk directory.

   Then follow the prompts as they come along.  Setup will
   walk you through the installation, step by step.  All
   defaults have been set for you, so if you're satisfied
   with the choices that are presented, follow the 
   instructions in the setup program.
   

LIMITATIONS:

   CD Player, before it's registered, has one restriction.  
   The program will only allow you to save 4 cataloged 
   CD's.  Of course, this limitation, as well as the start 
   up screen, will be eliminated upon registration.

   Another limitation, purposely inserted, is that ANY
   version of CD Player for Windows, regardless of 
   whether or not it's registered, can only save 20
   selected track for each CD.


REGISTRATION:

   You can register the basic program by printing the 
   registration form from the intro screen, filling it 
   out, and sending it with your payment of $24.95 for
   just the registration, or $42.95 if you want the 
   complete version with manual per registration (NY 
   State residents please add sales tax) to:

   CD Player Registration

   Soon after you will receive a letter with your

   provide this for you on Compuserve, but please
