CDROMINF Version 1.2 - This is the third public release of CDROMINF. (c) Computall Services 1996 Homepage: http://web.ncf.ca/aa571 CDROMINF - What is it? ---------------------- CDROMINF is a program I wrote to test the functions in MSCDEX, ASPI, ATASPI, ASPI under Win95 and DPMI. The program tests for the existance i of these drivers and then makes calls into them and prints the results. It also will display any textual information stored on the CD as in i CD-Enhanced discs where the song titles and lyrics are encoded on the CD. How do I use this program? -------------------------- All you have to do is run CDROMINF from the command line, and it does the rest. You can also use the following command line switches: eg. CDROMINF DATA - this will dump any info from the disc that is stored as data: such as CD-Enhanced CDs or CDi discs CDROMINF DRIVE - this will specify the MSCDEX drive letter of the CDROM drive. Copying and Registration (does this mean it costs $$$?) ------------------------------------------------------- We are allowing full freedom to copy this program. It IS a fully functional version. It is NOT Crippleware! There is NOT a pro version available for an unreasonable sum of money. There is no registration fee. There will never be an another update. The zip file may be freely redistributed, only as long as all the files are kept together and unchanged in the archive and no additional files are placed in the archive.
