BETA
----
This the beta software. Some functions are not implemented, some are implemented
wrong :-)

Troubleshooting
---------------

1. WarpCD-Copy badly recognizes CD-DA read on my CDROM, What can I do?

The default OS/2 CD-ROM driver (OS2CDROM.DMD) badly recognizes some CD-ROM 
functions like: CD-DA readable, CD-XA readable and multisessioning-aware.
If you have the same problem, AND YOU KNOW THAT YOUR CD-ROM SUPPORT THAT 
FUNCTIONS, please use Takayuki 'January June' Suwa's JJSCDROM.DMD. You can find
it on hobbes.

2. How to access freedb.org [from www.freedb.org]

Quite simple: 

Configure Warp CD-Copy CDDB Tab to point to
freedb.freedb.org (Hannover, Germany)
as your cddb-server. 

You can also use one of our regional mirrors that might be closer to you: 

ca.freedb.org (Maple Ridge, Canada)
cz.freedb.org (Prague, Czech Republic)
de.freedb.org (Berlin, Germany)
uk.freedb.org (London, United Kingdom)

BTW: Did you hear about Patents Free homepage?

Please go to this page and submit your name. The BladeEnc author and freedb 
guys and, of course, me will be very happy.

3. Why Warp CD-Copy is not GNU?

I want to. but:

- I must translate the comments
- I didn't look the guy(s) that could help me :-( Proffesional developers 
  are creating the best software - Odin, XWorkPlace and other... 
  I don't want to these guys droped theirs project for my.
- "Open Source is a good marketing" - Warp CD-Copy is FREE, and what do you want
  much?

So... I can promise you only, that ASUACTL.DLL will be released with full 
source code. 

I think about the GOOD Open Source Project - OS2CMCTL.DLL (or somthing other)
 - The Dynamic Link library with the new controls. (What do you think about our 
Toolbar? :-) 

4. cddb.cddb.com not working, what the ...?

   I think that guys from CDDB have computers since 24 august 1995. They don't
   know that OS/2 exists and it has many users. Please don't use f*.* cddb.com!

5. I want to that author could implement the .... I have a question... 
   Or whatever...

Please mail me!

Please remember - "They are not a stupid questions, they are only the stupid 
                  answer!!!"

5. Why the Warp CD-Copy isn't bug free?

  more...)

  free time).
