Thanks for your continued interest. 1) CDPlayer for windows has a universal install program for the creation of a directory, copying of the files and creation of a program group. It is not necessary to use this program and the documentation gives details of how to install it manually, in which case you can add it to whichever box is required. 2) The icon contained within CDPlayer is a picture of a CD. If you are seeing anything else it is coming from NDT not CDPlayer. Under program manager you simply edit program item properties and select the program name for the icon source to use the icon from the program. I have no idea if NDT uses a different method. 3) CDTSR, a demo provided with CDPlayer, is a TSR playing handset. CDPlayer is not TSR. When you tell CDPlayer to play a disc it sends the instruction to the CDROM and monitors play progress. If you exit from CDPlayer, the drive continues to execute the instruction, but from that point on CDPlayer plays no part in events. If your disc entered into a repeat it is was either something to do with the program you were running or a fault on the drive – e.g dirt on the disc. 4) The reason for displaying CDPlayer over the screen was because we were thinking, at some stage, of making the whole program TSR. This would allow it to play custom programs and repeat plays in the background while other DOS applications were running. I am not sure there is a call for this, and If there is we would now probably add it to CDTSR. I will clear the background in the next release, thanks for pointing it out. 5) Re pricing, I am afraid this is not possible. We simply cannot accept payment in any form other than Sterling, as it costs between 7 and 10 UK pounds to clear each one – depending on the method of payment. How many US shareware
