Gnome Toaster Alpha Informations,last updated:05.24.1999
 --------------------------------------------------------
 
 This is an early alpha archive of the ´Gnome Toaster´ package,
 a cdrecord/mkisofs/cdda2wav frontend for creating data,audio
 and mixed mode cd´s both from other cds or from self compiled data.
 Although it does not have all of it´s planned functionality,it is yet
 quite usable. 
 PLEASE DO REMEMBER THOUGH THAT THIS IS ALPHA SOFTWARE. GENERALLY,THE AUTHOR
 CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY IMMEDIATE OR OTHER DAMAGE OF YOUR
 HARDWARE,SOFTWARE OR DATA CAUSED BY THIS PROGRAM. AS ´GNOME-TOASTER´ IS FREE
 SOFTWARE,THIS WILL APPLY TO ALL FURTHER VERSIONS OF THIS SOFTWARE,REGARDLESS
 OF THEIR STATE OF DEVELOPMENT AND THEIR NAMING (ALPHA,BETA,FINAL).
 EXPRESSIVELY I DENY ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGED CD RECORDERS OR CD MEDIA.

 look into the other info file in this directory.For installation issues,
 this is a file called ´Install´.
 A list of persons who contributed to the project is included as textfile

 hints,patches and Bug reports to A.Eckleder@bigfoot.com
 All contributors will,of course,be mentioned in ´Credits´ and the Changes

 That´s about it.

 me your opinion about this software,submit Bugreports,bugfixes,hints on 
 what to improve on the software,small patches.
 Major features should be discussed previously though to avoid double

 (see copy included in this package).Third persons are explicitly allowed
 to include this software into their own programs,improve the software,
 redistribute the software,etc. as long as this is being done under the terms
 of the GPL.

 Finally,I hope this software will be useful. I personally think it is a
 great improvement above all the software that exists for creating cdroms
 with linux within a graphical environment. But do remember, ´Gnome Toaster´
 is a frontend with the sole purpose to build an user interface. The actual
 process of creating a cdrom is done by the several client programs
 for accessing the cd recorder and the cdrom drives. Those programs include
 cdrecord,mkisofs and cdda2wav. For questions about the burning process,
 the process of reading audio cd´s etc. consult the respective authors.

    mentioned programs and email adresses of their authors */
