- Entering new CD-ROM/RDs into the Library
-
- Entering a new CD-ROM or Removable Disk into the CD-Runner Library initially is
- required so that CD-Runner will properly identify the disk loaded and run the
- desired application(s) setup for it. Libraries for both CD-ROMs and RDs are
- included in CD-Runner; the primary difference between the two libraries is the
- way in which CD-ROMs and RDs are identified (see the CD-ROM and RD General
- Information help for further information).
-
- To enter a new CD-ROM or RD into the library, place the new disk in the default
- drive (e.g. if your default CD-ROM drive is "D", then place the new CD-ROM in
- drive D). This will ensure that the unique disk identification required is
- properly read off of the disk. Access the library section either by clicking
- on the CD-ROM/RD Library icon in the CD-Runner Applications Group, or run
- CD-Runner and enter by clicking on the "Library" button in the CD-ROM/RD Runner
- section.
-
- Once in the library section, use the "ADD" option to enter new applications for
- the CD-ROM or RD (see the General CD-ROM/RD Library Functions help for further
- information). One important thing to note (particularly with CD-ROMs) is if the
- CD-ROM/RD application stores and uses a subdirectory on your hard drive; this
- is important because the executable file to run the application must be
- properly identified. For example, if you have just setup a new multimedia
- encylopedia, and it creates a subdirectory on your "C" (hard) drive named
- "C:\ENCYLOP" in which it copies setup files and an executable file name
- "RUNENCY.EXE", then in the CD-Runner Library this is the file to be selected
- when adding the application.
-
- If you are unsure of the proper executable file to be used to run a new
- application, then use the Windows Program Manager "File-Properties..." option
- on the CD-ROM/RD icon created by the application to identify the "Command Line"
- (executable file) and "Working Directory" (location of drive/subdirectory).
