- Removable Disk (RD) Runner - General Information
-
- The Removable Disk (RD) Runner has been designed to automatically identify
- the RD loaded and allow the user to run the application(s) which have been
- previously entered into the RD Library. Similar in operation to the CD-ROM
- Runner, you may run rewritable optical disks, floppy disks, or any other
- removable media quickly and easily. Disks are automatically recognized
- based on their Volume Labels, and optionally run as CD-Runner is loaded.
- Be sure to use different (unique) Volume Labels for different RDs which
- are setup for use with CD-Runner to ensure that one disk is not mistaken
- for another. Also, once an application has been set up which refers to a
- specific RDs Volume Label, be sure not to change the Volume Label later
- to avoid having to re-enter the application in the CD-Runner Library. Note
- that multiple applications per disk may also be entered, and multiple
- removable drives may be setup. You may also enter a new RD application
- into CD-Runner directly from the RD Runner faceplate by selecting the
- "INSTALL" option. If the RD application has already been setup onto your
- computer but not entered into CD-Runner, simply bypass the application setup
- and enter the requested information into CD-Runner (application path, title
- and description).
-
-
- CD-Runner also includes a sophisticated search engine for use with both the
- CD-ROM and RD Runners. This allows applications to be located on any disk in
- any drive and allow you to run them quickly and easily. In addition, the search
- engine can even find applications in which you have originally entered on one
- drive but have since moved to another drive.
-
- Custom passwords, titles, descriptions, sound/music files and icon/graphics may
- be entered for each RD application. If a sound or music file has been entered
- for an application (in standard Windows "Wave" format with a ".WAV" file
- extension), then it will be played with the Run button is clicked. This is
- especially useful to give voice help or instructions before an application is
- run. See the Media Runner section for recording of custom Wave files.
-
- As is also the case with the CD-ROM Runner, you may choose from a variety of
- attractive screen backgrounds (bitmapped or BMP file format) and customize the
- look of CD-Runner by selecting custom fonts and/or colors. Use the CD-Runner
- Setup section to set these and other options. Note that the same backgrounds,
- colors and fonts are used for both the CD-ROM and RD Runners.
