DESCRIPTION

       cdp  is an interactive TEXT-MODE program for playing audio
       CDs under Linux. It is based on WorkBone, which in turn is
       based   on  the  modules  "hardware.c",  "database.c"  and
       "struct.c" from the elaborate  X11  CD  program  known  as
       WorkMan.   cdp Display CD databases, as generated by Work­
       Man. It also enable editing this information.

       cdp expects to find the device: /dev/cdrom . If you  don't
       have  this  device, change to /dev and soft link your cur­
       rent cd rom device to 'cdrom'. For example,  if  you  cur­
       rently  call your cdrom device 'mcd0', then do the follow­
       ing:

                      cd /dev
                      ln -sf mcd0 cdrom

       Alternatively, just edit 'hardware.c'  to reflect the name
       of your cdrom device and recompile.

       cdp  uses  the  numeric keypad as a control panel to allow
       you to move track to track, play, pause, stop, and  resume
       playing  of  audio  CDs.  Make sure you have your NUM LOCK
       engaged when using cdp.  A graphical template is displayed
       to  guide you. Running times are also continuously updated
       and displayed.

BUGS

       It  is doubtful that I will do much development of cdp.  I
       extended WorkBone 0.1 to  support  WorkMan  CD  databases.
       This  program  is a further extension of WorkBoneII 0.2 to
       support CD database editing.  Please e-mail any bug  fixes
       or  improvements  that  you might have.  cdp works with my
       Mitsumi FX001D CD Rom drive, but your mileage  with  other
       drives may vary. Only generic calls and functions are used

       ncurses for displaying its screen. If anyone is interested
       in porting it to other platforms please email me.

       enjoy.
