I wrote these routines for controlling the CD-ROM to play audio CD's in C++
for something to do.  It took approximately 4 months, which is not an
indication of the difficulty involved, but an example of how long it took to
figure out what the heck I was doing.  These are not perfect by any means. 
There is a lot of code that I could have put into functions and called each 
time I needed it, but I always re-wrote it to keep it straight in my head.
I started writing these routines merely to pass the time for the summer, but 
I have to admit it got pretty interesting as I got more involved in it.  If 
anyone can suggest any hints, tips, etc... I would be glad to hear from you.
Also, if you for some reason decide to use these routines, I wouldn't mind 
if you sent $5 CDN to this address:

                Charles McDonald
                660 Glace Bay-Catalone Road
                Mira Gut, Nova Scotia
                B0A 1M0   Canada

This does not mean that you can't use my routines if you don't pay, but the
extra cash would be nice :)  Also, if you download this file, I would 
appreciate if I heard from you.  I can be reached on Xevious under Charles 
McDonald.  Just a little note saying you got the file and whether or not it
came in handy or was interesting.

Thanks.
