             *************************************************
             WARNING!!! This release is purely experimental!!!
             Remember to backup your .workman* files before
             testing it!
             *************************************************

xfascd is a full function CD player based on 2 programs:

- the little ascd applet for AfterStep and WindowMaker which I'm
  currently maintaining.
- WorkMan, maintained by Dirk Foersterling.

To access CD hardware and WorkMan CD database, xfascd used libworkman, a
library based on WorkMan that can be found in ascd archives.

===========================================================================
What do I need?
===========================================================================

First of all, you *NEED* ascd to compile xfascd. Please grab version 0.9.2
or more at:

  - <URL:http://worldserver.oleane.com/rsn/ascd-en.html>

You also need to install Forms Library 0.88 to compile xfascd. You should
find it at:

  - <URL:http://bragg.phys.uwm.edu/xforms/> or
  - <URL:ftp://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/pub/xforms>.

Finally, you need Xpm lib.

===========================================================================
Configuration/Compilation
===========================================================================

1) installing the xfascd src in the ascd directory:
   ------------------------------------------------
   
Move all the xfascd folder in the ascd-0.X.X folder. You should have
something like:

  Imakefile
  README
  ascd/
  config.h
  default-dirs
  doc/
  lib/
  ascd/
  xfascd-X.X.X/

2) configuration:
   --------------

Edit config.h. If you have ascd <= 0.9.2, please add
this line in config.h:

#define BLUE_BACK

If you want french messages, add the following line:

#define FRENCH

Change the DEFAULTDEVICE to catch your needs ; you should also set the
"NO_D_DEFAULT" if, for instance, you're system is Solaris with volume
manager.

3) compilation:
   ------------

If not done, go to lib/ and compile the libworkman library.

Then go to the xfascd folder and type:

  xmkmf 
  make

4) testing:
   --------
You can launch xfascd without installing it. Type:

  xfascd -h

... to see commandline options.

5) installing:
   -----------
   
  make install
  make install.man
  
Note that the man page is *really* out of date.
