             This may be included on a CD compilation as long as
             I am sent a copy of the CD it is to be included on.

What is it ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~

      This program is a CLI-style program that will allow users to access
      any CD0: device and download files from the CD.

      It is INTERPRETED, and does NOT give 'real' CLI access except for
      the given commands after parsing.

      I decided to write the door like this, as some other doors will only
      work with Aminet CD's, and this is more flexible ;-)

            Commands supported :

                  CD0:             (move back to root directory)
                  DIR
                  DIR <wildcards>
                  CD <directory>
                  CD..  CD /   CD ..
                  GET <filename>                 (download file)
                  HELP                         (short help text)

            Registered version :

                  LIST          (uses similar parameters to DIR)
                  SHOW <file>           (view readme's or texts)



How do I set it up ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      Make a directory called MaxCD in DOORS: and copy the program to it.
      You will need a sub-directory called CDTEMP, which is used to store
      a file ready to download.

      Run the program as an ordinary door using function 34.



Shareware
~~~~~~~~~

      United Kingdom
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      This version is shareware - for UK users, I would like THREE POUNDS
      to register for the full version. I will send it within a few days
      of receiving your remittance. 

      Uploading it to your BBS is the easiest (and preferred) method.

      For your money, you will receive a version that will allow the LIST
      command to be used (which gives file sizes), and also a SHOW command
      to let you read text files from the CD (.readme files etc)

      Elsewhere
      ~~~~~~~~~
      Overseas sysops need to work a little harder to register - i'd like
      a postcard please ;-) and i'll try to e-mail you as soon as possible.

      * YOU WILL NEED AN INTERNET ACCOUNT TO GET THE REGISTERED VERSION *



Bugs
~~~~

      If you use a command with unusable parameters, you may get a message
      saying 'unable to load maxcd/dirlist' - just type something that will
      work to resume normally, ie. DIR

      Only CD0: is supported, no other CD's (ie. multi-changers) can be
      accessed.


Warning(!)
~~~~~~~~~~

      If you are using a registered copy without paying the fee, I have
      included a small routine that allows me to give you grief if I
      find out !

      It's not /deadly/ (i'm not that nasty) but it might hurt a bit  :-[
