 What is CD Audio Dump?
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  CD Audio Dump/2 is an application to copy CD Digital Audio tracks to your
  hard disk.  The tracks are copied over the data bus without a roundabout 
  route over a sound card.  There is also no need for any multimedia support 
  from MMPM/2.

  The program was originally written for compiling some new audio discs from
  existing discs for my own use.


 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 System requirements
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Software:

   Operating system IBM OS/2 v2.1 or higher
   TCP/IP when using the integrated automatic retrieving of CD listings
   No MMPM/2 needed

  Hardware:

   CD drive which supports audio playback and direct reading over the data bus.


 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Installation
