3 switch to directory like X:\Temp
4 Type

  Install PATH
    Path ist the path where the files will placed
  e.g. type 
  Install X:\WC_CD_13
  
  Have a look at the WarpCenter during installation!

  DON'T CREATE THE DIRECTORY BEFORE RUNNING THE INSTALL
  SCRIPT.  THE SCRIPT WILL CREATE THE DIRECTORY.

5 You can delete the unpacked-files and close os2-console.
6 Enjoy.

If you run install again, another cd-player-tray will be
placed in the warpcenter.


B. USAGE

The install-script adds a tray "CD-PLAYER" to WarpCenter. 
Switch to this tray and push the power-button. This
starts a server-demon, that communicates with your CD-ROM.
Now You can use the other buttons. 

To kill the server push the power-button again.

Alternatively you can use the program objects in your program
installation folder.

Problems: 
Do you use other cdrom like audio01? See section C.
For other problems contact us.

C. CUSTOMIZING

You can modify the *.ico - files before you install.
Don't change the filenames.
You can edit all rexx-scripts, if you know what you do.
For details contact me via E-MAIL.

For use other cdroms as cdaudio01:
read and edit the power.cmd script.
For other introplay - length
read and edit the power.cmd script.
This should be easy.

For source-code of wccdserv.exe contact me.

D. DEINSTALLATION

Delete all files in the path your program installation path,
delete the tray called "CD-Player" from the WarpCenter with the 
standard-function in WarpCenter  - ready.
These scripts don't write to system ini-files or copy files to 
other directories.


E. NOTES

I hope that more developer of os2-software distribute their software
freely and publishing their source-code, thats one reason for the
success of linux. 

Thanx to Nick Morrow for "debugging" this readme.txt-file.
Thanx to all testers and registered users.
Thanx to Smashing Pumkins for best test-cd's to coding player-apps. 

There is no way to add a display to the warpcenter without considerable
modification of the WarpCenter files. We won't do this. We only use supported
rexx functions.  Don't worry.
