	This freeware CD player runs under DOS (needs a DPMI server) or a Win9x
DOS box.  Just 'cd' to the directory the program is in and type 'dscd.'  It
will spit out some usage instructions to follow. The program was written in C
using DJGPP development tools and Brennan Underwood's BCD library.

<ChangeLog for 01.06.1998>

	v1.7:
		 Added a feature to print status messages that check return values of
		  functions to determine whether or not commands have succeeded.

	v1.6:
		 Housecleaning procedures to keep gcc happy and a fix to thwart a minor
		  inconsistency that would occur when the user typed random characters
		  as an argument to dscd have all been incorporated into this latest
		  release.

	v1.5:
		 Compiled with newer version of BCD library which fixes a memory-
		  trashing bug.

	v1.4:
		 This version constitutes an almost total rewrite of the d_struct CD
		  Player.  The handling of command line arguments has been completely
		  reimplemented in a much cleaner way which allows for the entering of
		  multiple arguments at a time.

	v1.3:
		 DSCD is now distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public
		  License.
		 Implemented two ways to decrease the size of the executable, one
		  being passing the -s switch to gcc when compiling and the other
		  being the use of the DJP executable compressor.
		 The only other change is a small fix that allows DSCD to recognize
		  command line arguments properly regardless of their case.
	v1.1:
		 Initial public release
