IMPORTANT INFORMATION for CU Amiga Super CD-ROM 18
InitCD
======
This program/icon sets up various aspects of the CD so that the
programs on the CD can find their datafiles etc. This is run
automatically when you boot from the CD.
If you are using the CD from Workbench, double click on InitCD first,
rest assured it will not make any permanent changes to your system
and should intelligently defer to support software you already have
installed. Trust us. :)
To undo the changes, run InitCD again.
IDer
====
This is a recent addition to CUCDs to allow you to customise the way
in which the icons work. IDer will identify the type of file and look
in its preferences file to see how you want to view/play this type of
file. This means that we are no longer tied to a picture viewer that
works on WB2, since there are separate preference for WB2 and WB3.
Graphics card users can alter the settings to use a viewer that
utilises the higher resolutions and colour depth of their cards.
Your favourite module player will be used on each and every module,
GMPlay or even the MidiPlay via Project XG can be select to play
MIDI files and so on.
CUCDprefs
=========
To change the default options for any file type, run the CUCDprefs
program in the Prefs drawer of the CD. These settings are saved to
your hard drive, so they will be automatically available every time
you use a CUCD.
Some people reported problems with IDer on previous CDs. This was
usually due to their not having run InitCD first, so IDer couldn't
find its default preferences. This CD uses StartIDer to avoid this
problem.
Contributions
=============
Think you can do better? If you've created a program, mod, animation
or whatever with your Amiga and you'd like to share it, send it to
us. Full details on CD submissions are in the magazine.
ProNET
======
There are now icons in CDSupport/ProNet to start up the ProNET server
in various configurations. So you can now link a CD32/CDTV to your
Amiga. Thanks to Chris Brand for this suggestion.
Finally
=======
We hope you enjoy this CD and that you'll let us know what you want to see
on forthcoming CUCDs. Enjoy!
