                  CDCOPY.EXE V4.008 (C) by Markus Barth
                  =====================================

    This module allows you to write audio-tracks from CD
    to disk. Registered users are able to write these files
    to a CD-Writer.

    Running under Windows-95 the program only works
    with SCSI or ATAPI-CDROM/CD-R, which support this
    special mode.

    Using WINDOWS-NT it is possible to use the generic WIN32
    interface to read the CDDA-tracks. By default, the module
    starts detecting an ASPI-interface. If it is not available
    the generic interface is used.

    The following hardware was tested:          Speed
    Adaptec 2940, Plextor CD-ROM 8XCS,             8X
                  RICOH 14020C,                    2X
                  TOSHIBA 3401                     1X
                  TOSHIBA 6002B                    1X
                  TOSHIBA 6201                    12X
                  PIONEER DR-U24X                  4X
                  UltraPlex                       25X
                  Sony CDU711                     10X

    It's fully functional under Windows-95 and Windows-NT 3.51/4.x.

    For both operating systems I used EZ-SCSI 4.00, 4.01
    as ASPI-interfaces.

    The following versions were tested:

    WNASPI32.DLL    22528  -> EZ-SCSI 4.01
    WNASPI32.DLL    21504  -> EZ-SCSI 4.00

                               Attention!

    Starting with version 3.701 I have to change the Freeware
    status to Shareware. Excessive bills for my internet
    activities doesn't allow me to improve CDCOPY for free.
    Answering many e-mails, updates etc. are too expensive.
