DAO.EXE
      This is the main disc-at-once recording program. It is capable
  of making AUDIO, CDROM (Mode1), CDROM-XA (Mode2), mixed-mode, and
  multisession discs. The resulting discs will be either "redbook" or
  "yellowbook" compatible and can be used as masters for commercial
  CDROM production. You are required to write a CUE SHEET file for
  each disc which defines (among other things) the data files to be
  written and the starting time of each track/index point. This infor-
  mation is used to build the table-of-contents and subcode-Q data on
  the recorded disc (the programs MAKECUE and QUICKCUE can generate
  cue sheets for existing audio CDs automatically). DAO gives you
  complete control over the track/index layout when creating audio
  discs. It is possible to define variable length "pause areas" between
  tracks (down to zero!) and define subindexes to other points within
  a track. Refer to DAO.TXT for more information.

CDCLIP.EXE
      This program extracts "digital audio data" from a CD and stores
  the data in a WAV or other type of binary file. This file can then
  be recorded onto a new CD using DAO.EXE. CDCLIP performs complete
  "jitter compensation" to insure correct digital copies. NOTE: Many
  CD recorders are the best choice for reading audio data, because they
  are capable of reading audio at 2x speed and don't require jitter
  compensation (many CDROM drives can only read audio at 1x speed).
  Refer to CDCLIP.TXT for a list of supported drives.

PSXCOPY.EXE
     This program will make backup copies of Sony PlayStation discs.
  Refer to PSXCOPY.TXT for instructions.

MAKECUE.EXE (not available yet)
      This program will scan an audio CD for subcode-Q data changes
  and generate a CUE SHEET file for use with REDBOOK.EXE. Only a few
  CDROM drives can be instructed to read subcode-Q data (if a drive
  can read digital audio data, it can usually read Q data as well).

QUICKCUE.EXE
      This program will create a "quick and dirty" CUE SHEET file
  for use with REDBOOK.EXE. This program should be used only if your
  drive does *not* support the reading of subcode-Q data. Refer to
  QUICKCUE.TXT for more information on making copies of audio discs
  with little effort. 
  
ISO2RAW.EXE
      This program will take an ISO9660 image file and convert it to
  raw CDROM data sectors (2352 byte sectors). The resulting file can
  then be used by DAO.EXE to create a data or mixed-mode disc. You must
  convert your data files because some recorders (such as the Philips
  and HP) will only accept raw data sectors when doing disc-at-once
  recording. It takes substantial CPU overhead to convert the sectors
  while recording, so it must be done ahead of time. Refer to DAO.TXT
  for more information on using ISO2RAW.

WAV2MOT.EXE
      This program will convert a WAV file to Motorola binary format.
  It is used primarily to create data files that are compatible with
  the Philips 522 recorder which expects audio data to be sent in
  "most significant byte first" format. NOTE: If your files are not
  converted prior to recording, then the data must be converted on
  the fly. This can cause data underruns on some systems due to the
  amount of CPU time it takes to do the conversion.
