CD Library Help

Introduction

 CD Library is a media cataloging tool for the Windows platforms. It creates catalog files of drives - CD-ROMs, hard disks, floppies, ZIPs, ... and folders and offers these catalogs offline for browsing and search operations with wildcards. CD Library makes smaller catalog files than other similar applications. It also reads MP3 files tags and offers searching through them.

System Requirements

 CD Library will work on every machine on which is running windows higher than Windows 3.x. Slower CPUs and less megabytes RAM affect only the speed of performance. It is better to use the program on procesor better than Pentium 200 with 16 MB RAM at least.

Install

 Unzip 'cdlib.zip' in any folder you want. Then run 'cdlib.exe'. Default location for installing is 'C:\Program Files\cdlib\' but you may change it if you want. The archive contains: cdlib.exe, readme.txt, Versions.txt, help.html, Menu.html, License.html.

Uninstall

 Just delete the folder where CD Library was installed. Default location is: 'C:\Program Files\cdlib\'. That's all.
