CDBrowser
-
Version
3.2
CDBrowser is a stand-alone front-end application for
distributed CD-ROM disks. With it you can create
complete off-line web sites which will run on any
Windows 95 (or higher) computer, even if there is no
web browser installed on the target machine.
Even better, CDB will seamlessly run executable (and
other) files which are linked within your .html
content, without putting up those annoying warnings
that full-fledged web browsers do. For example, if you
are making a CD containing AutoCAD drawings, for
distribution to people who you know have AutoCAD
installed, href links to the .dwg files will launch
AutoCAD with the file loaded. Same with .pdf files,
text files, windows help files, etc.
CDB was originally created for shareware authors, to
create disks which would allow program installations
on any target machine. But since it was first released
we've been getting all sorts of people writing to tell
us of other uses they have found for it. For example,
business card CDs containing one's resume',
collections of digital photos, etc., etc. The
possibilities seem to be endless!
The separate Setup Wizard, cdb_gen.exe, allows you to
tweak your presentations size, start-up file, and menu
in real time. You can specify the start-up height and
width (or go full screen), and there is also a
borderless option. You can work with as many different
presentations as you wish, and each one's setting are
retained between work sessions. The best part is that
cdb_gen.exe also creates the autorun.inf file for you,
with all of your preferred settings in place, ready to
burn to CD-ROM!
