This program is a control panel which must be put in the Control Panels folder in the System Folder in order to work. When you have done this, restart you computer. Insert an audio CD into your CD drive and click in the menu bar while you are holding down the Command key. A small window with 7 buttons will appear. If you have used a CD player before, these buttons will not need any explanation. The only difference is the play button, which will change its function to be a pause button if a disc is playing.
When you drag the mouse across a button it will be "pushed" and if you release it while still in the pushed state, the command associated with the button will be executed. If you don't want anything to happen, just drag the mouse outside the window and release the mouse button. This applies to all buttons except those performing fast-forward or fast-reverse playback. In this case the fast forward (or fast reverse) will start as soon as the mouse moves across these buttons and stop in the instant the mouse button is released or the mouse moves outside the button.
If you double-click the CD Menu icon in the Finder, you will see a window with six check boxes and one button.
The four top check boxes indicate what modifier keys need to be pressed as you click in the menu bar in order to bring up the CD Menu window as described above.
The checkbox "Auto Play" indicates whether an audio disc will be played automatically when it is inserted into the drive.
"Show icon at startup" lets you choose if you want the CD Menu icon to be displayed during bootup.
The "About…" button brings up a dialog box with some information about the program.

This program has only been tested thoroughly on a Macintosh Classic II equipped with an AppleCD 150, I can therefore not guarantee it to work on other systems. If you use another setup, I would appreciate if you could tell me how it works.
Also, I cannot be held responsible for any data loss or other system damage due to this program. Use this software at your own risk!!

This piece of software is distributed as freeware, which means that I don't demand you to send me any money if you use it. However, if you distribute this program to your friends or other people, the document you are now reading must accompany the software. Also, you may not sell it to other people or organisations.

To be able to run CD Menu, you must have a computer that has Color Quickdraw, which means that it won't work on Macintosh Plus, SE, Classic and PowerBook 100.

I am always happy to receive comments, bug reports, or simply a postcard to tell me how far this program has travelled.
Thanks to all of you who have sent me e-mail and postcards. If it wasn't for your feedback, I probably wouldn't have continued making updates. If there's anything you would like to see in a future version, please tell me so.
