Readme file for DBCDPlayer version 0.11 (Freeware version)           Jan-96

DISCLAIMER:
I allow you to use and distribute DBCDPlay.exe and the files listed below freely
under the condition that I am in no way responsible for any damages or losses
you may suffer as a result of copying, installing or using DBCDPlay.exe and its
accompanying files.

WHAT DOES IT DO?
The program plays audio CDs and has the capability of storing Artists, CD and
song titles in a data file. The current CD title and song title will be shown in
the program's display window while the CD is playing.

I believe that the use of the program will be obvious when the program is running
and therefore the program has no online help. I hope my belief corresponds
somewhat to reality. OK I'd better give a little help. There are some accelerator
keys, which activate pushbuttons as stated below. These can be useful if you
don't like to use the mouse all the time.

Accelerator keys to activate pushbuttons (Main window):
  Alt+r  -  track Reverse
  Alt+a  -  track Advance
  Alt+b  -  scan Backward
  Alt+f  -  scan Forward
  Alt+p  -  Pause
  Alt+l  -  pLay
  Alt+s  -  Stop
  Alt+e  -  Eject
  Alt+t  -  set Titles and play order

Accelerator keys to activate pushbuttons (Titles and play order window):
  Alt+d  -  Default play order  (Give all CD tracks in ascending order)
  Alt+a  -  Apply and save


WHAT'S NEW IN THIS SECOND VERSION?
Not much actually. I've added a slider control to quickly choose any track.
In every singel E-mail I've recieved about this program it has been a suggestion
that I should add something similar. However that hasn't been too simple due to
a missing function and a bug in the class library I've been using (my opinion/guess).
It has been quite some workarounds to make this version of the program to work,
and as I lately have had little time to spend with my computer I haven't been able
to spend much time looking for bugs. If I'm lucky it won't be any real big ones.
Anyway please let me know what you think about using a slider control
choosing tracks. Would it be much better with push buttons enstead?
