DESCRIPTION:

ascd is a CD player and mixer that can be "docked" on the Afterstep
Wharf or the Window Maker dock.

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

CREDITS:

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). This is ascd.

I - Denis - removed all the workbone code (Linux specific) : ascd can now 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.

Ascd now include the asmixer code.

It is known to run without (or with small!) changes on:

- FreeBSD 2.2 (development platform)
- Linux 2.0
- Solaris 7 i386 gcc
- AIX 4.2/4.3
