DESCRIPTION:

AScd is a CD player that can be "docked" on the Afterstep Wharf or the
Window Maker dock. It uses libworkman to access CD drivers.

========================================================================

HISTORY:

AScd 0.1 -> 0.6
---------------

The original code was taken by Rob Malda from asclock (Afterstep wharf
module, by Beat Christen <bchriste@iiic.ethz.ch>) and from workbone (CD
driver). 

AScd 0.7 -> 0.9
---------------

I removed all the workbone code (Linux specific): ascd could then be compiled
on several UN*X flavors. I took a big part or the WorkMan (see at the end of
this text) src and merged it with the ascd 0.4 interface. The WorkMan code
was compiled as a library.

AScd > 0.9
----------

WorkMan has splitted in 2 parts: the ui and the lib, named libworkman. So,
AScd uses this brand new lib, instead of the one which was included in the
AScd's archive. WorkMan's maintainer is Dirk Foersterling
(milliByte@DeathsDoor.com).

========================================================================
                             HOW TO COMPILE????
========================================================================

You need to download, compile and install the WorkMan library. Please
use the 99/03/07 snapshot wish can be found on the AScd's home page or
on the primary ftp site for WorkMan : 

ftp://ftp.midwinter.com/WorkMan/snapshots/

========================================================================
                              CONFIGURATION
========================================================================

Run ./configure

This script will ask you a few questions about compilation-time
options, and generate a "config.h" file matching your choices. The
script will then run xmkmf to generate the Makefile.

(you may also change the default paths defined in Imakefile if you don't
want ascd to be installed in /usr/local/bin and the man page in
/usr/local/man)

========================================================================
                          COMPILATION/INSTALLATION
========================================================================

    make
  
  - If you want to try the program, just type
    
    ./ascd
    
    (try './ascd -help' to see the commandline options)

    If everything is ok, you can install the program and the
    man page:
    
    make install
    make install.man


* installation for AfterStep
  --------------------------

  Add a line in your ~/.steprc file:

  *Wharf - - Swallow "ascd" /usr/local/bin/ascd -device /dev/wcd0a &

  (customized to your system settings of course!)
  
* installation for Window Maker
  -----------------------------

  Launch ascd with the "+w" option.
  Dock ascd by dragging it to the dock.
