Program: Audio-CD-Player for an Apple CD-150, Version 0.1
Platform: NEXTSTEP 3.x, black hardware only


This is a very basic prerelease of my Audio-CD-Player for the Apple
CD-150. It allows start and stop playing and skipping a track. A
display shows actual track, index and playing time. To use it, you
must run it as root or set the SETUID-Bit. To do that, you have to
login as root and to enter: chown root CD150-Player.app/CD150-Player
chmod 4755 CD150-Player.app/CD150-Player

This program does very few error checking. So you should use it only
as described:

- start the application
- insert CD when the panel appears
- to change a CD, quit the application and restart!

I wouldn't have released this program in this condition. But many
people urged me to do so, because they would like to listen to CDs
with their Apple CD-150. I don't want to hear any complaints about
this ugly little program. However, any suggestions and bug reports are
welcome. You can reach me under the following email address:
markus@isolde.stgt.sub.org (Markus Stoll)

For now this program is only available for black hardware. For Intel
hardware I would have to do some changes. Is there any need for an
Intel version?

I plan to make a real CD-player out of it. But this won't happen
before february 94. The source is not available, sorry (at least not
for now)!  I would like to thank Franz-Josef Reichert
(fjrei@kbsaar.saar.de), who hacked the SCSI commands for CD-150 audio
mode.

If you use this program, you're doing so on your on risk. Probably
this program IS buggy! THIS PROGRAM HAS ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. So
don't held me responsible for any damage that is caused by this
program.
