1. About CDMagic
   -------------
   CDMagic is a CDDB-enabled CD player with a full-blown database:

   > play tracks
   > access to the CDDB for showing track title, CD and artist names
   > convert (selected) tracks to the MP3 format
   > store entry for tracks into the database
   > query functions about your database


2. Installation
   -------------
   Prerequisites:
   (1) Warp4 is required (because of incompatibilities in tcpip with Warp3)
   (2) You need a HPFS-partition (because of long filenames).
   (3) A CDROM-drive which is capable of DAE (Digital Audio Extract,
       i.e. direct reading from audio tracks as a file).
       All devices since ca. end of 1997 should be o.k.

   Step-1: Open an OS/2-commandline session
   Step-2: create a cdmagic-directory of your choice
   Step-3: unzip the distribution-file into that directory
   Step-4: run INSTALL.CMD

   The installation-program will ask to modify your config.sys for you.
   If you don't want this, you must do the modification yourself:
   Add the cdmagic-path to the PATH and LIBPATH variable.

   Reboot after install:
   ---------------------
   In order to have the config.sys-alterations take effect you must
   re-boot your PC. This is not neccessary for CDMagic alone, but there
   exist some add-on-programs (e.g. Text2Img) which need the PATH and
   LIBPATH-information in order to integrate correctly into CDMagic.

3. Usage
