****************************************************************************
Upgrade notice
**************
(Note that the two upgrade files are packed in UPGRADE.ZIP)
Take a backup of your data files before upgrading!
Version 3.2 contains more track fields and increased field lengths for track
titles. If you have created a database using ver 1.1, you will have to run
the upgrade program to adjust the field sizes. To do this, install version
3.2, switch to the directory containing your data and run the program
UPGRADE3.EXE. E.g.
C:
CD \CDPLAYER
UPGRADE3
Follow the instructions on the screen and your files will be updated. Note
that your old files will not be deleted, but renamed to DISCSV2.*.
If you do not have your data stored in the same directory as the programs,
switch to the data directory and call the upgrade program from the floppy
drive, e.g.,
C:
CD \DATADIR
A:UPGRADE3
If you are upgrading from version 1.0, you must first run the upgrade program
to convert the data to 1.1 format. To do this, switch to the directory
containing your data and run the program UPGRADE1.EXE. E.g.
C:
CD \CDPLAYER
UPGRADE1
Follow the instructions on the screen and your files will be updated. Note
that your old files will not be deleted, but renamed to DISCSV1.*.
If you do not have your data stored in the same directory as the programs,
switch to the data directory and call the upgrade program from the floppy
drive, e.g.,
C:
CD \DATADIR
A:UPGRADE1
******************************************************************************
We are hopeful that users will provide feedback regarding the program and any
additional features they would like to see.
**************************************************************************
MEMORY RESIDENT CD PLAYER
Registered users will an receive an unrestricted copy of CDtsr(TM), a memory
resident CD player. This program allows DOS users, who are running text based
programs, to pop up a CD handset similar to that contained in CDPlayer(TM).
This is very handy for pausing the CD to take a phone call, carrying on with
your current application and then resuming play by popping up the handset a
second time. Also for playing a new CD without having to close down your
current application.
A demonstration copy of CDTsr is included on this disk. Some of the functions
have been deactivated, however, it will enable you to see how it will work
with your applications.
**************************************************************************
CDPLAYER FOR WINDOWS
CDPlayer for Windows should also be included on this disk. All registered
users receive registered copies of CDPlayer for DOS and Windows.
**************************************************************************
INSTALLATION
To install CDPlayer, follow the instructions in INSTALL.DOS.
