Voyager CDLink 1.0b1 (Macintosh) Notes

Voyager CDLink for the Macintosh is made up of two applications.  The CDLink Kernel is a background-only application which receives .vcd files from your web browser and executes them.

Voyager CDLink is the user interface part of CDLink.  It provides an About Box and lets you quit CDLink Kernel.

Currently, CDLink does not have a method for controlling the volume of  your CD-ROM drive.  We recommend that you set the volume of your drive before using CDLink, especially if you are using headphones.

Voyager CDLink 1.0b1 (Macintosh) Known Bugs

CDLink 1.0b1 requires Mac OS 7.5 or later.  If you try and open CDLink on any version of Mac OS prior to 7.5, CDLink may fail to work properly or crash.

The 'Open' menu item in the 'File' menu lets you select any file, but does nothing after you click the 'Open' button.

Dragging and dropping a non-CDLink text file onto the CDLink Kernel application can cause CDLink Kernel to crash.
