What is this.
==============
"MultiCD" will enable users to see your presentations more accurate without the slowing effect of running your presentation direct from a CD. The program will temporarily install the presentation chosen by the user to C:\temp folder and will remove it when the user close the show.

"MultiCD" is a Multi show runner. You can include unlimited numbers of presentations, under the limitation of your CD, and your "autorun.inf" file will open "MultiCD" window, which will display a long list of all your presentations names as you wrote them.

User can choose any presentation he want to see by click on its name, click "Start", and the program will do the rest.

But that's not all. You can attached an HTML page, RTF page, Doc page or a TXT file to each of your presentation where you can give information about the presentation. This information file will appear also on the presentation list and user can open and view it in same way as he opens a presentation.

You can arrange the order of files appearing on the list, attach details files to presentations or put all details files at the end.

"MultiCD" allows you also to add a "Startup Window" at the size of 250 x 150 where you can put your Logo image, which can include a Welcome note. In "MultiCD" you can also write your Caption for the program window, let user send you email or visit your web site by one click.

"MultiCD" has advanced Font Installer. User can install up to 3 font files to his C:\Windows\Fonts folder in a second by click on the font icon. This way you can be sure user will see your text in the authentic fonts. If the fonts already exist on user's computer, a message will tell him that. User can always check which fonts were installed by click on yellow question mark which will appear under the font icon if fonts were installed.

"MultiCD" is very easy to use, just writing in simple text files with Notepad as will described below. With "MultiCD" you will have your own custom AutoCD professional window. User can minimize "MultiCD" to system Tray and Explore CD.

How to do it.
=============
The Caption - white title bar of the window:
Open "configure.txt" and write your title instead of the first line you see on this file. Do not write a very long line, write only one line and make sure it is the first line.

Your web site url:
On same "configure.txt" write your URL as line No. 2.
This will work only with "Internet Explorer" browser.

Your email:
On same "configure.txt" write your email as line No. 3.


Istalling Fonts:
Open "Font.txt" and write the names of your fonts files, each in a line. You must write names of three font files and include those files in your CD. Leave the slash (\) before the font files names. The program will check user's font folder in C:\Windows\Fonts if those three font files exist. If they exist, a message will tell it. If they don't, the program will install the font files and tell user which fonts were installed. Do not change the first line.

(If you can not copy the font file, do this: drag the font file to your project folder. This will remove the file from your font folder to your destination folder. Now copy the file from your destination folder and paste back to your own fonts folder).


Your presentations information:
Open "data.ini" with Notepad.
Here you will see numbers from 1 to 30, each number in brackets and two text lines between each number. In other words, there are 10 sets of three lines each. Let's look at the first set:

[1]
Name=Write presentation name in one line.
File=VIP.exe

The [1] tells the program this is item number 1. The second line is the name of your presentation. There is limit to how long this name can be. The third line is the name of the file of your presentation.

Now let us look at items number 28, 29, 30, the last three on the list. It looks like this:

[28]
Name=Thai Anthem and Flag
File=ThaiAnthem.exe
[29]
Name=Read about Thailand.
File=Thailand.txt
[30]
Name=Books about Thailand.
File=Thailand.html

Try to open each on at a time and see what happens.

The name of the presentation is "Thai Anthem and Flag" and the name of the file is "ThaiAnthem.exe". When user click on line 28 on the list, the presentation called "Thai Anthem and Flag" will start. If the user click on line 29 which will say: "Read about Thailand", the file "Thailand.txt" will open. If he will click on line 30 which say: "Books about Thailand", his browser will open the file "Thailand.html". Notice that in this first version you can not use images on the HTML, Java, Animations etc.

Now look at these lines:

[26]
Name=This is Doc page.
File=Page.doc
[27]
Name=This is RTF page.
File=Page.rtf

This is how you add RTF or DOC files.

Same way you can make your own business card as exe and include it as last or first line.



When you finish all the above, put all these files on your CD:

MultiCD.exe
Logo.exe
logo.jpg
data.ini
configure.txt
Font.txt
All your HTML pages.
All your TXT files.
All your fonts files.
All your RTF or DOC files
All your presentations.
autorun.inf
MultiCDReg.gnr (your registration key). If you don't add this Key file the "Unregistered" message will appear (Check before distributing the CD).


You can omit the "Startup Window" if you don't like to put it. In this case "MultiCD" will open straight without the "Startup Window". You should make the necessary changes to your "aurtorun.inf" file according to wether you use the "Startup Window" on not. If you don't use it, write this 2 line in your "aurtorun.inf":

[autorun]
OPEN=MULTICD.EXE

If you use the "Startup Window" write:

[autorun]
OPEN=LOGO.EXE


Open "MultiCD.exe" and check that everything works as it should and you made no mistakes. For burning your CD do not use folders, just put all files in the root of the CD.  Check the CD after burning.


That's all.
