Some things you should be aware of when using CDCheck
- autorun feature is disabled while CDCheck is running (if you do not like this email me why and I will make it optional)
- for ease of use most of the dialogs that popup up can be confirmed using ENTER key
- CD tray is automatically closed if necessary when process is started
- due to high speed access CDCheck can cause your system to hang (crash) if your computer is not functioning properly
- audio CDs are not supported
- under Win95,98,ME files/directories containing non-locale characters are displayed with short file/directory name
- some people have experienced error "A device attached to the system is not functioning." when checking Video CD although the CD seemed to be OK

Known limitations
- only ansi strings can be used to specify starting directory for checking etc.
- under Win95,98,ME when file/directory A containing non-locale characters has the same long name as file/directory B without non-locale characters then A incorrectly behaves as B (this is extremly rare condition)
- wrong junction (Windows variant of Linux symbolic link) can produce endless loop (many programs share this problem - average user will not come across this)

Tips
- when you are changing path in "CRC", "Check" etc. shortcut CTRL-SPACE can be used to popup the browsing window

FAQ
1. Why do I get "file size <> bytes read" when processing (Linux) CD?
CD is usually read only media and therefore the file cannot be changed during processing. The warning is reported because operating system probably has some problems reading volume structure. It seems it correctly reads the file size but when it wants to read the file it reads the wrong file and therefore reads more/less than the size expected. You can observe this yourself if you try to copy the reported file to disk. The size of file on disk will be different than the size of file on CD and will probably match some other file.
