Description

CDxcess is a simple program that allows you to eject 
and close the CDROM drive's tray without pushing the 
unconveniently-placed CDROM eject button.
Once executed, a small icon will appear on the system tray. 

Requirements
------------
Windows 95/98/NT
CDxcess is tested out on a Windows 95/98/NT system with 1 CDROM drive.
Your CDROM drive must support soft eject for CDxcess to work.

Installation/Uninstallation
---------------------------
INSTALL

2. Unzip all the files into this new directory.
