Source code for CDTOOL 1.0 has been uploaded to tsx-11 and sunsite.  
It is also available for anonymous ftp from jaka.cerl.uiuc.edu as the
file /pub/tinsel/cdtool-1.0.tgz.

    CDTOOL is a package for Linux that allows the user to control audio 
functions of an attached cd-rom drive from the command line.  It has
five functions: cdplay, cdpause, cdstop, cdeject, and cdir.  Cdir
supports one or more databases of cd titles, artists, and track names,
and will display such information if it is available.  

    CDTOOL doesn't do anything fancy.  There is no scan, fast forward,
repeat, etc.  These functions are better performed by a full-screen or
graphical program, and CDTOOL is designed to be a simple/elegant command 
line utility.

CHANGES SINCE BETA RELEASE 

    (1) CDTOOLDBPATH environment variable supported.
    (2) Bug in resuming from pause fixed.
    (3) Templates printed with -t option now are "filled out" if the
         current disc is listed in a database.
    (4) Make file creates links for manual pages during installation.
    (5) Code completely reorganized, getopt() used, etc.
    (6) Support for SunOS?  If you have gcc, this should compile and run
         fine under SunOS 4.1.*, but I don't have the facilities to test it.
        If you get it working, please let me know.
    (7) CDTOOLDEV environment variable overrides default path to device.
