- IMPORTANT INFORMATION for CU Amiga Super CD-ROM 27
-
- 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!
