Title: cdchanger
Version: 1.1
Entered-date: 12APR98
Description: cdchanger is an extension of the example program in
	     the documentation file Documentation/cdrom/ide-cd.
	     It allows a program to change slots of an ATAPI cdrom
	     changer.  It is a setuid (root) program, and
	     thus can mount and unmount as appropriate.  In normal
	     operation (assuming the current device is mounted)
	     when a new slot is requested the device is unmounted
	     and the mount point and options saved.  After
	     switching to the new slot the device is remounted.
	     It can be built to work with ordinary (non changer)
	     cdroms, too.  With such devices obviously there is no
	     slot control,  but the mount remount and eject options
	     are usable.  When used with tkchanger it makes
	     changing disks slightly easier (maybe). 
	     The companion program, tkchanger, is a perl/Tk
	     interface to cdchanger.  It displays a little window
	     with a circle for each slot.  Different colours show
	     whether the slot is empty or has a disk, and which the
	     current disk is.  Clicking on the circle selects or
	     ejects that disk.  An extra pop-up window allows
	     controlling certain options, and to specifically mount
	     or unmount.
	     This program won't run under 2.0 kernels.  However,
	     there is a file which outlines using autofs,  which
	     kind of makes this program obsolete!
