KreateCD - frontend for CD writers using the K Desktop Environment

Copyright (C) 1999 Alexander Feigl (Alexander.Feigl@gmx.de)
                   according to the GNU GPL in the file COPYING


KreateCD is a graphical frontend for some cd recording software. It can
be used to simplify the process of creating CD-Rs on Linux computers with
the K desktop environment installed. This utility calls the base applications
(which are shell commands) for you so you will be able to burn CD-Rs very
comfortably without knowing dozens of options and switches. :-)

KreateCD is far from being complete but you will already be able to burn some
simple CD-Rs with it. There is no ISO9660 mastering support by now but you
should be able to copy CD-ROMs and audio CDDA. You can even burn your favorite 
.WAV files on CDDA - including automatic boosting so that the maximum dynamic
range of the CDDA is used. 

Of course you use this software at YOUR OWN RISK - don't kill me because of 
unusable CD-R media. This software is not tested very well because it is a
very early release and I'm no copy shop.
