CDEveryWhere 1.2.2 Readme Copyright (c) 1999 Interactive Information R&D, LLC http://www.cdeverywhere.com Thank you for using CDEveryWhere. This file contains information on installing and running CDEveryWhere. Please see ORDER.TXT for ordering information. The manual is available as a set of web documents. It is accessible from the "Help | Contents" menu command and in the "classes/help" directory in the CDEveryWhere program directory. Use any web browser to open the "index.html" document. =========== Description =========== CDEveryWhere creates cross-platform CD images. It supports Microsoft Windows Joliet), Unix (RockRidge) and Apple Macintosh (HFS). CDEveryWhere is easy to use with a drag and drop interface. You don't need to be a master CD expert to create a professional master CD. It creates a raw image that can be recorded with most CDR/CDRW software. The software runs on most operating systems and supports multiple languages. Windows and Unix users can create Macintosh CDs without a Macintosh or Macintosh hard drive. MacBinary, BinHex and the Apple-Unix Filesystem are decoded on the fly. Windows and Macintosh users can specify Unix owner/group identification. CD images can also be made from FTP sites and preserve permissions, owner/group identification and symbolic links. Files may be common to all platforms or specific to a platform on a single CD. =========== Limitations =========== This software is a demonstration of a commerical product. The size of the CD is limited to 50MB. Other than this restriction, all features are available. Licensed users of this software can enable their version by entering their license information using the "Help | License" command. Please see the LICENSE.TXT file for distribution restrictions on CDs created with this software. =================== System Requirements =================== CDEveryWhere runs on any Java 1.1 enabled platform. It requires 24MB of total system memory and 9MB of disk space (this may vary depending on your system). This is a Java 1.1 application and therefore requires the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.1.5 or higher. You may get the JRE from the following sources: http://www.javasoft.com - Java's home site http://www.ibm.com/java - IBM's java site http://www.cdeverywhere.com/jre-win32.exe - Windows users http://www.blackdown.org - Linux i386 JRE 1.1.7 http://www.apple.com/macos/java - Macintosh users (Macintosh users must have the Macintosh Runtime for Java 2.1 or higher) Windows users may also have download CDEveryWhere with the JRE included. If so, you do not need to download or install the JRE. WARNING: Do not use Java 2 (aka JRE 1.2)! It is slow and will require much more memory than JRE 1.1. CDEveryWhere creates ISO images for CDs. You will need a CDR or CDRW drive, at least one blank CDR/CDRW disc (the software does not currently support multisession), and software to write the ISO image to the disc. Most software included with the drive can do this. Please see http://www.cdeverywhere.com/download.html for links to other CDR software. ======== Features ======== The full-featured package includes: - Intuitive interface using the award winning Swing(TM) package - Create image for ISO, Windows (Joliet), Unix (RockRidge) and Macintosh (HFS) - AutoStart support for Macintosh - Autorun support for Microsoft Windows - Select which platforms to write to the image - Files may be shared with all platforms (Maximizes CD usage) - Each file can be shared or only for a specific platform (No need to see Windows programs on a Macintosh) - Create Macintosh image without a Macintosh or Macintosh hard drive - Use MacBinary, BinHex and A/UX - Scan content of files to determine Macintosh type/creator - Import Files from ZIP Archive - Support symbolic links in Unix platform - FTP access, preserves all Unix attributes. - Save layout for later use or command-line operation - Unattended command-line operation - Multi-lingual ========= Languages ========= CDEveryWhere is designed to support multiple languages. It will detect the language your computer uses and use it, if the translation is available. If your language isn't supported, please check our update page at http://www.cdeverywhere.com/updates.html for a newer "i18n.jar" file. This file contains all the languages CDEveryWhere supports.

Unix and other users can specify one of the following options to the program: -lang=en for English -lang=fr for French -lang=de for German -lang=es for Spanish -lang=it for Italian -lang=pt for Portugeuse -lang=zh for Simplified Chinese -lang=zh,TW for Traditional Chinese ============ Distribution ============ You may only distribute CDEveryWhere in its original packaged form as available from http://www.cdeverywhere.com/download.html.
