Introduction

cdrLabel is a utility for the creation of labels to be placed in
CDROM disk cases.  It can generate many different kinds of labels,
containing directory information, images, fonts, and more.  Organize
all your music and data CDs with it!

 *** Check out http://WWW.ZIPLABEL.COM for other label applications! ***

You'll find that this README.TXT is truncated from previous releases.
All of the information that was in this file is now located in the HLP
file, accessible from the Start Menu or the program itself.

Installation

cdrLabel is easy to get installed and running.  Just double-click on the
Setup.exe program and you'll have the opportunity to select an
installation directory and whether or not to add icons to your start menu.

You may install the program over a previous version without difficulty,
and all settings will be saved.

cdrLabel doesn't install any DLLs, nor does it require any.  However,
under Windows 3.1 you need to have the last version of Win32s, v1.30c.
If you don't have it installed, you can download a copy direct from
