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
    WorkMan. 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 current cd rom device to
    'cdrom'.  For example, if you currently call your cdrom device 'mcd0',
    then do the following:

     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 as per WorkMan proper
    itself. Unlike WorkBone cdp uses ncurses for displaying its screen. If
    anyone is interested in porting it to other platforms please email me.

    enjoy.
