Entering new CD-ROM/RDs into the Library
Entering a new CD-ROM or Removable Disk into the CD-Runner Library initially is
required so that CD-Runner will properly identify the disk loaded and run the
desired application(s) setup for it. Libraries for both CD-ROMs and RDs are
included in CD-Runner; the primary difference between the two libraries is the
way in which CD-ROMs and RDs are identified (see the CD-ROM and RD General
Information help for further information).
To enter a new CD-ROM or RD into the library, place the new disk in the default
drive (e.g. if your default CD-ROM drive is "D", then place the new CD-ROM in
drive D). This will ensure that the unique disk identification required is
properly read off of the disk. Access the library section either by clicking
on the CD-ROM/RD Library icon in the CD-Runner Applications Group, or run
CD-Runner and enter by clicking on the "Library" button in the CD-ROM/RD Runner
section.
Once in the library section, use the "ADD" option to enter new applications for
the CD-ROM or RD (see the General CD-ROM/RD Library Functions help for further
information). One important thing to note (particularly with CD-ROMs) is if the
CD-ROM/RD application stores and uses a subdirectory on your hard drive; this
is important because the executable file to run the application must be
properly identified. For example, if you have just setup a new multimedia
encylopedia, and it creates a subdirectory on your "C" (hard) drive named
"C:\ENCYLOP" in which it copies setup files and an executable file name
"RUNENCY.EXE", then in the CD-Runner Library this is the file to be selected
when adding the application.
If you are unsure of the proper executable file to be used to run a new
application, then use the Windows Program Manager "File-Properties..." option
on the CD-ROM/RD icon created by the application to identify the "Command Line"
(executable file) and "Working Directory" (location of drive/subdirectory).
