Welcome to gcombust.

gcombust is free software. Please see the file COPYING for details.  For
documentation, please see the files in the doc subdirectory.

gcombust is a GTK+ frontend for mksisofs and cdrecord.

For building and installation instructions please see the INSTALL file (short
version: ./configure; make; make install-strip). RedHat .rpms, Debian .debs and
Stampede .slps are available, I maintain the Debian package but don't know
anything about the others.

At this moment every release of gcombust isn't always very well tested; it
would probably be wise to test it with the -dummy option at first to check that
I haven't made any stupid errors. Also, it prints the command it's executing to
stdout so you can look at it and maybe spot errors.

There's no save option yet, but it respects cdrecord's CDR_SPEED, CDR_DEVICE
and CDR_FIFOSIZE environment variables, so for now use them.

Updates can be obtained from:
http://www.iki.fi/jmunsin/gcombust
(which should point to http://www.abo.fi/~jmunsin/gcombust)

Requirements (the versions number are the ones I use, and the ones I have
	tested it with - others might work, too):

GTK+ 1.2.x 

cdrecord 1.8
	(it might work with version 1.6)

mkisofs 1.12bx where x >= 4
	(any earlier releases will most probably fail to work
	with gcombust, 1.11 and lower will most certainly fail)

mkhybrid 1.12a4.7
	(mkhybrid support is not very well tested, but it should work)

cdlabelgen 1.1.3
	http://www.red-bean.com/~bwf/software/cdlabelgen/

I love to recieve feedback/comments/ideas/bugreports at:
	jmunsin@iki.fi (jmunsin@abo.fi)

NOTE: If you decide to do a NLS translation of gcombust, it might be a good
	idea to mail me about it to make sure noone else is doing one for the
	same language.
