CD-Runner for Windows 2.0
                             New Features
                       -------------------------

The following new features have been added to CD-Runner for Windows 2.0:

* CD PLAYER - if a CD is placed into the CD-ROM drive, it is automatically
  identified and read; a new CD Player faceplate (much like the actual
  faceplate of many new audio CD players) will be displayed. The audio CD
  may also be setup into the library with it's Title, Artist, Songs, and 
  Liner Notes; these will be displayed as the CD is run. 

  All of the typical CD player functions are supported including 
  programming capabilities, repeat mode, time functions, etc.. Other 
  additions not normally found on a CD player include a song status bar 
  showing % of song completion (click on this bar with the mouse to directly
  move to the associated position in the song), and a 2-icon "minimize" 
  option which allows the CD to play without the CD player screen displayed
  (the icons will display the time, track #, and song). 

  NOTE: to use the CD player, you must have an "MCI CD player" driver loaded.
  To load the driver (normally supplied with Windows), use the Windows Control
  Panel, and select the "Drivers" & "Add" options; select the "[MCI] CD Audio"
  driver from the list. (the driver file is named "MCICDA.DRV" and is usually
  found in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory).

* MULTI-DISK CD-ROM CHANGER - Supports CD-ROM changers (with multiple CD-ROM
  capability); use the CD-Runner setup section to enter the CD-ROM drive
  letters, and when in the CD-ROM section of CD-Runner simply click on the
  "Search" option to run applications from any of the CD-ROM drives. The 
  current CD-ROM drive letter will also be displayed on the CD-ROM runner
  screen.

* GREATLY EXPANDED CD-ROM LIBRARY FEATURES - includes greatly expanded icon
  support to read icons from ICO, EXE, DLL, WMF, and ICL files. Also includes
  improved screens and options.

* AUTOMATIC CD/CD-ROM RECOGNITION - CD-Runner is designed to automatically
  recognize if a CD or CD-ROM is loaded into the CD-ROM drive, and display
  the CD player or CD-ROM runner screen as appropriate.

* SYSTEM INFORMATION - in the about section, a new System Info option has
  been added to show detailed hardware / software information including
  free system resources.

* SMALL FONT OPTION - in the general setup section, a new small font option
  has been added to adjust the graphics & text spacing; usually Windows
  resolutions of 640x480 (VGA) & 600x800 (Super-VGA) use the small font 
  option, while resolutions of 1024x768 or higher use the large font option
  (which is the default CD-Runner mode).
