22 AScd is a CD player that can be "docked" on the Afterstep Wharf or the
23 Window Maker dock. It uses libworkman to access CD drivers.
25 ========================================================================
32 The original code was taken by Rob Malda from asclock (Afterstep wharf
33 module, by Beat Christen <bchriste@iiic.ethz.ch>) and from workbone (CD
39 I removed all the workbone code (Linux specific): ascd could then be compiled
40 on several UN*X flavors. I took a big part or the WorkMan (see at the end of
41 this text) src and merged it with the ascd 0.4 interface. The WorkMan code
42 was compiled as a library.
47 WorkMan has splitted in 2 parts: the ui and the lib, named libworkman. So,
48 AScd uses this brand new lib, instead of the one which was included in the
49 AScd's archive. WorkMan's maintainer is Dirk Foersterling
50 (milliByte@DeathsDoor.com).
55 AScd no longer includes the pixmaps in the source files. It is now possible
56 to change the pixmaps theme at run time. AScd now needs a directory where
57 to store the pixmaps. The default is /usr/local/share/AScd.
62 The theme files are now fully customizable. All theme directories are
63 installed by default in /usr/local/share/AScd/Themes.

69 You need to download, compile and install the WorkMan library. Please
70 use the 99/05/05 snapshot wish can be found on the AScd's home page or
71 on the primary ftp site for WorkMan:
73 ftp://ftp.midwinter.com/WorkMan/snapshots/

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

89 IMPORTANT NOTE: if you're upgrading from AScd 0.12, please remove
90 everything in the AScd default directory (/usr/local/share/AScd) as the
91 theme files are *not* compatible.
