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. cdpDisplay CD databases, as generated by WorkMan.

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 thatyou might have.cdpworks with my Mitsumi FX001D CD Rom drive, but yourmileage with other drives may vary. Only generic calls andfunctions 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.
