- *************************************
- * Usage *
- *************************************
-
- I think the program is pretty self-explanatory. you can play cd
- tracks, drop to a DOS shell (COMMAND.COM Only), use the screen saver, and
- for those of you using this at work, hit ESC for "Hide Mode". This is
- supposed to look like Word Perfect For DOS. Once in Hide Mode, hit enter to
- return to the BoomBox. Inside the screen saver, you must press a key, and
- not use the mouse.
-
- *************************************
- * Known Bugs *
- *************************************
-
- I know the mouse cursor flickers when playing. This is to prevent
- another bug which left parts of the screen appear randomly on the screen in
- other places.
-
- When the program first loads and no CD is playing, then the status
- switches from "STOPPED" to "PLAYING" back and forth, causing the speakers
- to start a little. Can't help that one either!
-
- If you have NDOS or 4DOS or use anything other then COMMAND.COM,
- you can't use the shell function. The shell function is defaulting to
- COMMAND.COM and is set to MS DOS.
-
- *************************************
- * Registration Info *
- *************************************
-
- CD BoomBox For DOS 2.0 costs $35 US Dollars. In version 1.0, I said
- you could e-mail me and tell me what CD ROM drive you had, and if the program
- worked on your machine, and then registration would be free. Well, I can't
- do that anymore, sorry!
-
- With Registration, you'll get some useful CD-ROM Utilities I have
- wrote, other assorted utilities, virtually free updates for life, and a
- clear conscience. If you have a CompuServe Account, I can upload the
- newest version to you via e-mail, which I would prefer. I'm sorry, but at
- this time, I have no facilities to send files via the Internet, but can
- recieve and send e-mail.
