CDUMP [SS] [NS] [FILENAME] [DEVICE]
CDUMP will allow you to create a file which contains an image of
the CD-ROM data. The area that you wish to be dumped is defined
by its start sector address and the number of sectors you wish
to read. CD-ROM data areas start at sector zero. High Sierra and
ISO 9660 images commence at sector number sixteen. The complete
size of a CD-ROM image can be calculated using the table of
contents information; one block is considered a sector, one
second is 75 sectors and one minute is 4,500 sectors. Each
sector is 2048 bytes in size. This data is dumped to a file but
be careful, it is easy to create files which are very large if
you define a large number of sectors to read.
SS - the first sector of the data dump
NS - the number of sectors for the data dump
Filename - name of file to write sector data
(default filename is IMAGE.CD)

DEVICES
This is a very useful program if you have more than one CD-ROM
drive attached to your computer and have a poor memory. The
program will scan the operating system environment for
installed CD-ROM devices and return a list of available CD-ROM
devices.
@@eject.exe
EJECT [DEVICE]
Executing this program has the same effect as pressing the
Eject button on the CD-ROM drive. The disc is spun down, the
head and drive is reset and the disc is ejected. The reset
command (see above) can be used to accept the disc into the
drive.
Device - CDROM device name (default first drive)
or CDROM drive letter
@@lock.exe
LOCK [DEVICE]
Run this program to disable the Eject button on your CD-ROM
drive and lock the disc in the drive. This command is cancelled
using the UNLOCK program or the RESET program. Using this
program in your application can be useful in that it prevents
the user removing the disc during the operation of your
program. The program EJECT can still be used effectively.

@@playtime.exe
PLAYTIME SM SS [SB] EM ES [EB] [CHANNEL] [DEVICE]
This routine will play a specified portion of CD audio through
your CD-ROM drive. The portion is defined by the disc time;
minutes, seconds and blocks ( there being 75 blocks within one
second ) at the start point and the end point You may listen to
this audio through a pair of headphones or an amplifier.
SM - start time in minutes
SS - start time in seconds
SB - start time in blocks (default = 0)
EM - end time minutes
ES - end time in seconds
EB - end time in blocks (default = 0)
Channel - determines which output channels are active

L = left channel
R = right channel
M = mute

PLAYTRAK [START] [END] [CHANNEL] [DEVICE]
This routine will play an audio CD as defined by the tracks. A
compact disc can hold up to 99 tracks but the program will only
allow you to define up to the number of tracks on the disc.
Start - First track to commence playing audio
( default = 1 )
End - last track to play ( default = start track )
Channel - determines which output channels are active
S = stereo ( default )
L = left channel
R = right channel

READTEST [DEVICE] [SAMPLES] [SS] [RS] [RE] [-B] [-H]
READTEST is designed to give you the time needed to load an
amount of data into the computer. With the default settings a
graph will be plotted showing the time taken to read 2K,4K,6K,8K
... and demonstrates how data streaming is dependent on size and
buffering. The arguments necessary for this program are listed
below.
DEVICE - the device name of the CD-ROM drive default first
drive
SAMPLES - the number of samples to take at any test point
(default = 15)
SS - start sector for test to begin at (default = 0)
RS - range start is the size of the first data (in 2K
blocks) stream to read (default = 1 block)
RE - range end is the size of the last data stream (in
2K blocks) to read (default = 20 blocks) (max =
available memory)
-B - performs brief version of test

RESET [DEVICE]
Executing this program will completely reset the drive. All
current functions are stopped (including a drive hang-up), the
disc will be accepted (if it is out), all drive buffers will be
cleared, the table of contents is reloaded and the head set at
the reset position.

SCANCD [Device]
Corel CD-rom Information Utility v1.0
-------------------------------------
(C)Copyright Corel Corporation 1992
SCANCD is a simple programm scanning a CD's id, type, name, etc.
It also displays total amount of all files on CD and does some
read and seek operations to get some speed results of the used
drive.
WARNING: Using SCANCD on an audio CD may cause your machine to
hang up...
@@scandir.exe
SCANDIR [Device]
SCANDIR is a simple program that will monitor the time taken to
scan an entire CD-ROM directory structure. The time taken to
scan depends on the CD-ROM drive, the interface card, on-drive
buffering, system driver and device driver buffering and
of course the complexity of the CD-ROM structure. It is therefore
a good yardstick for overall system performance of a CD-ROM machine.
Try changing the buffering that MSCDEX uses by altering the /M
variable in your AUTOEXEC.BAT. You will even find that cleaning
the disc might have an effect on overall speed.
DEVICE - the device name of the CD-ROM drive default first

@@skiptest.exe
SKIPTEST [DEVICE] [SAMPLES] [READS] [RS] [RE] [SS] [-H]
SKIPTEST plots how long it takes to read a group of blocks
(defined by READS), then skip a number of blocks (defined by RS
and RE). Negative numbers are allowed in order to see the effect
of head movement backwards and forwards. SS will automatically
be adjusted if the result would mean the head leaving valid disc
area. This test will give you a gauge of head access speed.
DEVICE - the device name of the CD-ROM drive default first
drive
SAMPLES - the number of samples to take at any test point
(default = 1)
READS - the number of CD-ROM blocks to read at any test
point (default = 8)
RS - range start is the first number of blocks to skip
between reads (default = 0 blocks)
RE - range end is the last number of blocks to skip
between reads (default = 30)
SS - start sector for test to begin at (default = 0)
Example default SKIPTEST D 1 8 0 30 0
Read 8 blocks, skip 0 blocks, read 8 blocks starting at 0 then

STATUS [DEVICE]
This program interrogates the internal ROM of the CD-ROM drive
and displays the capabilities of the drive. Information about the
data-read modes available are returned such as the ability to
read video, interleaved data, audio, unencoded CD-ROM blocks and
High Sierra addressing.

STOP [DEVICE]
This program simply terminates audio playing of the compact
disc. The head position is left at the location of the last
played block.
Device - CDROM device name (default first drive)

@@timecode.exe
TIMECODE [DEVICE]
When a compact disc is in the drive the disc will be rotating and
the head will be positioned on the disc. Encoded within the
compact disc is a continuous time code which is individual to
each block. This program will interrogate the head for its
position and return continuously updating information. Track
number, disc time and track time are displayed. However, it is
worth noting that if the disc is not being played the time code
will remain static except for the spinning disc.
If you execute this program from the CD-ROM itself you will be
returned the time code location for the position of the program
that was just loaded. Far more sensible operation is obtained by
installing this program onto your hard disk.

@@toc.exe
TOC [DEVICE]
Every compact disc, whether it be audio or CD-ROM, has a table of
contents held before the start of the first track. This
program will interrogate this area of the disc and return
information about the disc structure. You will see data returned
displaying the track numbers, their start times and the disc
length. All timecodes are stored to block-accuracy, allowing this
routine to identify a particular disc by its structure quite
reliably.
