IMPORTANT INFORMATION for CU Amiga Super CD-ROM 24
InitCD
======
This program/icon sets up various aspects of the CD so that the
programs on the CD can find their datafiles etc. This is run
automatically when you boot from the CD.
If you are using the CD from Workbench, double click on InitCD first,
rest assured it will not make any permanent changes to your system
and should intelligently defer to support software you already have
installed. Trust us. :)
To undo the changes, run InitCD again.
CUCDfile
========
This is a recent addition to CUCDs to allow you to customise the way
in which the icons work. We previously used IDer which caused a few
problems. CUCDfile sets things up more intelligently before passing
control to IDer. IDer will identify the type of file and look in its
preferences file to see how you want to view/play this type of file.
This means that we are no longer tied to a picture viewer that works
on WB2, since there are separate preference for WB2 and WB3. Graphics
card users can alter the settings to use a viewer that utilises the
higher resolutions and colour depth of their cards. Your favourite
module player will be used on each and every module, GMPlay or even
the MidiPlay via Project XG can be select to play MIDI files and so
on.
CUCDprefs
=========
To change the default options for any file type, run the CUCDprefs
program in the Prefs drawer of the CD. These settings are saved to
your hard drive, so they will be automatically available every time
you use a CUCD.
Some people reported problems with IDer on previous CDs. This was
usually due to their not having run InitCD first, so IDer couldn't
find its default preferences. The use of CUCDfile completely avoids
this problem.
UpdateCopy errors
=================
Some people were experiencing strange error messages from updatecopy
when running InitCD. This should be fixed now and the fix is
retoractive, once you've run InitCD from this CD you shouldn't see the
error on any other CDs either.
Contributions
=============
Think you can do better? If you've created a program, mod, animation
or whatever with your Amiga and you'd like to share it, send it to
us. Full details on CD submissions are in the magazine.
ProNET
======
There are now icons in CDSupport/ProNet to start up the ProNET server
in various configurations. So you can now link a CD32/CDTV to your
Amiga. Thanks to Chris Brand for this suggestion.
Virii
=====
Each CUCD is checked for virus infection before mastering, but we
cannot be held responsible for any virus that slips through. If you
have any suspicions about any files, check them with more than one
virus checker yourself. Make sure you use an up to date version of
your virus program, Virus Z and VirusCheckerII are in CDSupport. Older
virus checkers were reporting files as infected when there was nothing
wrong with them.
Finally
=======
We hope you enjoy this CD and that you'll let us know what you want to see
on forthcoming CUCDs. Enjoy!
