CDROMINF Version 1.1 - This is the third public release of CDROMINF.
CDROMINF - What is it?
----------------------
CDROMINF is a program I wrote to test the functions in MSCDEX, ASPI and
in DPMI. The program tests for the existance of these drivers and then
makes calls into them and prints the results. It also will display
any textual information stored on the CD as in CD-Enhanced discs where
the song titles and lyrics are encoded on the CD.
How do I use this program?
--------------------------
All you have to do is run CDROMINF from the command line, and it does the
rest.
You can also use the following command line switches:
eg.
CDROMINF DATA - this will dump any info from the disc that is stored
as data: such as CD-Enhanced CDs or CDi discs
CDROMINF DRIVE <drive letter> - this will specify the MSCDEX drive letter
of the CDROM drive.
Copying and Registration (does he mean this costs $$$?)
-------------------------------------------------------
I am allowing full freedom to copy this program.
It IS a fully functional version.
It is NOT Crippleware!
There is NOT a pro version available for an unreasonable sum of money.
I'm NOT asking for $ to register this program.
What I am asking is, that if you use this program to let me know (via EMAIL,
snail mail, Carrier Pigeon etc.), AND if your karma so directs you to make
a small donation to a local charity. So far since the first release in
late '93, only a couple people have shown they have good karma. I guess
this makes a rather sad statement about society.
I would also like to try and keep all the files together and unchanged
in the archive, so if you are passing this around don't change the files.
In this distribution the files contained are:
CDROMINF.EXE - the MSCDEX exerciser program
CDROMINF.DOC - the text file describing CDROMINF
If you are one of those Shareware houses, I don't want to see this program
available for $6.99 plus shipping and handling. I don't like seeing
the average Joe getting burned for a 10 cent disk, 1 cent label and 2 cents
worth of labour to make the disk, especially when he can get 600+ Meg
of really good stuff from something like the Simtel CD for $25 (thanks to
Robert Bruce for starting the cheap archive business).
How to get hold of me
---------------------
If you want to make suggestions or want to send compliments you can contact
me at the address below.
If you would like assistance in solving problems, please include all
dumps from all the related programs. You should be able to
run the programs like this and get the dumps in a text file:
CDROMINF >dumpfile.txt
I have real difficulty in tracking down problems without these
dumps. In the past the majority of people asking for help just send
along a short note telling me my program doesn't work, and what
they remember the error messages saying. This just doesn't cut it.
I have to have the dumps to help.
The bottom line - RTFM before writing me. Also read the alt.cd-rom
FAQ. many of your questions can be answered by reading.

Track: 02, length: 03:45.30 - House of Cards (Stones in the Road) - Mary Chapan Carpenter
Song lyrics:
00:08:00 - I grew up in a house like this
00:11:30 - You knew the groan of every stair
00:14:60 - All the walls seemed to listen in
00:18:45 - All the years seemed to take up air
00:22:15 - And when you dreamed it was
00:25:45 - of the wind blowing cold and hard
00:29:00 - And in those dreams you thought
00:31:15 - you lived in a house of cards
00:41:30 - And I grew up in a town like this
00:44:60 - You knew the names of every street
00:48:30 - On the surface it looked so safe
00:52:00 - But it was perilous underneath
00:55:45 - That's the place where you
00:57:00 - shoved your doubts
00:58:45 - and hid your ugly scars
01:03:00 - God forbid if word got out
01:06:30 - about your house of cards
01:11:45 - And now I feel the wind about to blow
01:15:45 - Baby I'm so scared
01:18:30 - We're repeating the past
01:20:30 - instead of letting it go
01:22:60 - And I don't want to go back there
02:02:45 - Now we're standing here face to face
02:06:15 - Afraid to move or else
02:09:45 - I want to prop up this fragile place
02:13:15 - But I can't do it all by myself
02:16:60 - Cause when we dream it's of the wind
02:20:15 - blowing cold and hard
02:23:45 - And when we wake up we still live
02:27:30 - in a house of cards
02:30:45 - When we dream it's of the wind
02:34:15 - blowing cold and hard
02:37:60 - And when we wake up we still live in a
02:41:30 - house of cards
Track: 03, length: 03:21.53 - Good Enough (The Freedom Sessions) - Sarah McLachlan
Song lyrics:
00:11:60 - Hey your glass is empty
00:15:60 - it's a hell of a long way home
00:22:15 - why don't you let me take you
00:27:00 - it's no good to go alone
00:33:30 - I never would have opened up
00:38:00 - but you seem so real to me
00:44:30 - after all the bullshit I've heard it's refreshin
