CDTV Developer Tools        Version 1.1         June 13 1991


Many of the directories (and their contents) on this disk
have been compressed into single files using the freely
redistributable program "LHArc".  To "reconstitute" a
particular directory, simply format a floppy or make a
partition on your hard drive and copy the corresponding
".LZH" file to it.  Also copy the program "LHArc".
Change into this directory and issue the command:

             LHArc -m x Audio.LZH

         (if you want to extract the audio tools, that it.)

Once LHArc has completed extracting the directory and the
files in it, you may delete both the ".LZH" file and the
program "LHArc".

Note that some of the contents of this disk are copyrighted.


                        -----------------

Various old examples have been deleted as they become outdated.  Here is a
brief summary of what you will find on the disk, and modifications from
the Tools disk volume 1.0.


Directory       Contents/modifications
---------       ----------------------------------------

CDXL            sample source code demonstrating the use of CDTV
                transfer lists.

Bookit          The Bookit utility, intended for use in your startup-
                sequence, reads in and activates the CDTV Preferences
                settings.  This utility, included in the ISO DevPak
                vers. 3.5, replaces the CDTVPrefs utility.  See the file
                bookit.readme for more information.

Debox           The latest version of the SBox and Debox data compression
                routines.

Fonts           Two sample fonts, which you may use in any CDTV application
                on a royalty-free basis.

Includes        The latest versions of the include files for CDTV.

Keeper          A utility, intended for use in your startup-sequence,
                which loads and displays any IFF image while the rest of
                your program is loading.  This should help avoid long
                delays with nothing for the user to look at during loading.

CD-DA           Sample source code which plays CD-DA tracks on a CD.

Audio           Routines to play large 8SVX samples (greater than 128K), and
                conversion utilities to work with files imported from other
                platforms.

Playerprefs     Contains the autodocs for the playerprefs.library.  This
                library in the ROM of the CDTV contains numerous routines
                for reading and writing to the Bookmark device, calling
                the system screensaver, interpreting joystick events as
                mouse events, etc.

Memcard         Code to read and write to the personal memory card,
                including information on how to make the card bootable.

System          System level utilities to read Preferences, dump a sector,
                source code showing how to write to bookmark memory, and
                how to stop resets when a disc is ejected.

LHArc           Utility to compress and decompress files.  Includes
                documentation.

CDTVPrefs       removed.  You should use the Bookit utility (see above).

NTSC-PAL        Utilities for switching between NTSC and PAL screens.
