You have just installed a CD-ROM of a magazine. This CD had added a entry in your program-folder as all other CD’s before. When you want to start this CD next time, you find a overloaded program-folder and it’s hard to find the right entry.

After installation you assign the entry in the program-folder to the CD-ROM. If you now remove the CD, CD-Master will archive this entry and will remove to from the program-folder. If you load the CD next time, CD-Master will restore the entry in the program-folder. So entries coresponding to a CD-ROM will only be avaiuable in the program-folder, if the CD is loaded.

But CD-Master recognize the creation of new entries in the program-folder. If CD-Master recognize a new object, CD-Master ask you next time you choose “Assign objects” to add these objects.

Programm-start

Anyway you can assign a program-execution to every condition of your CD-Drive (CD-ROM, Audio-CD and“No CD). Instead of an executable file you also can assign a multimedia-file a wave or midi.

Shareware-Hinweise
Sharware note

The development of rope software costs time and money. Compilers must, for Tools and secundary litarature bought and read is and much knowhow is required. This overhead only then can be operated if it also is rewarded.

I don't equip my programs with expensive Sharware users nerving functions so that an user of Shareware is drawn that he has most helpfully to register himself every 5 seconds. It is for me spares a large praise, if taken advantage of users of you like my programs is. On the praise I alonely however cannot live!

This program is commercialized as Shareware, i. e. you can test it for 6 weeks. You like and you like to use it longer, to have have you registered at the author so and to pay shareware fee this one. An use has the equal status more than these 6 weeks without registration as if you use a pirated copy of a commercial program!

Registration

To the registration you must print the registration from, fill out and send me the registration fee with this one (as cheque). Read before the copyright notes, too.
