MiniCD  v1.2 - 16-bit Shareware CD player for Windows 3.1x
----------------------------------------------------------


Short Description:
------------------
Adds three small CD audio control buttons (play, stop, track forward) and 
three application control buttons (mode, minimize, exit) to the Windows 
desktop. Starts playback of an Audio CD automatically on startup. 


Longer description:
-------------------
When the program starts, it checks the CD-ROM drive for a disc, if any, and
determines its type. If it finds an audio CD, playback is started. If there 
is no CD in the drive or the CD is a data CD-ROM, the program shuts itself 
down. The control buttons for the CD are located in the upper left hand 
corner of Windows's desktop and are floating on top of other windows. Pressing 
the X-button closes the program and stops playback, pressing the down arrow 
minimizes the program to the desktop. The mode button switches between
normal mode and movable mode. If you want CD's played automatically 
when Windows starts, copy the program item 'MiniCD' to your startup group in 
Program Manager. The next time Windows starts, the program checks for an 
audio CD and upon finding one starts playing it.

Installation:
-------------
Copy the file ctl3dv2.dll to your Windows\system directory and the file
minicd.exe to the directory of your choice. Create a new program item of
MiniCD.exe into one of the groups in Program Manager (e.g. startup).

Changes from v1.0
-----------------
- Redesigned buttons
- Added tips to the buttons
- Added mode button, i.e. button bar is now movable.
- Fixed misc bugs (press play -> play button becomes disabled, etc.)
