THis file is usually located in the root directory of your main
hard disk.
You should search for this with Windows Explorer, or from the
My Computer icon on the desktop.
It may be hidden on your system.
If so, go to the Tools menu above the file display, select Folder Options,
and then select the Tab View.
In Windows XP, find the box labelled
Hide protected operating system files and UNtick it.
On earlier Windows systems, find the box labelled Show Hidden Files & Folders and tick it.
To be absolutely safe, you may want to make a copy of this file, before you try to edit it (You can
do this by dragging it from and dropping it back onto the window where you find it.)
Now, open the file using Notepad or Wordpad (under Programs -- Accesories on the Startup Menu),
but NOTWord,
and add the following two lines to the file.......
SET CDP_SOUND_EXT=wav SET CDP_OVERWRITE_FILE=test,temp
Note that there are no spaces around the '=' sign or the comma,
but there is a space after the word set, on each line.
Save the File: be sure to save it with the same name.
You may now want to return to the Tools menu, and hide those 'Hidden Files' again.
Now reboot your system.
You should substitute the actual name of your home directory for HOME.
The description assumes you are running in a folder called _cdp inside your HOME directory.
If not, you should change the directory paths appropriately.
To set up the environment variables from a tcsh shell..
Create a textfile, in your HOME directory, with the name .tcsh (the dot is essential).
There must be two lines in this file . These are....
set path=($path /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/User/HOME/_cdp/_cdprogs)
setenv CDP_SOUND_EXT aiff
Be sure to use spaces only where they are shown.
Alternatively, to set up the environment variables from a bash shell..
Create a textfile, in your HOME directory, with the name .bash_profile (the dot is essential).
There must be two lines in this file . These are....
set PATH=$PATH:/User/HOME/_cdp_/cdprogs
export CDP_SOUND_EXT=aiff
Be sure to use spaces only where they are shown.
It is also essential to get the MAC to recognise textfiles-with-extensions.
To do this ...
Inside the HOME directory, create (if necessary) a directory called .MacOSX (the dot is essential).
Inside the .MacOSX directory, create a textfile called environment.plist
The file must contain the following 8 lines.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0/EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>CDP_SOUND_EXT</key>
<string>aiff</string>
</dict>
</plist>
Note that the 2nd line (<!DOCTYPE .... to .... PropertyList-1.0.dtd">) must be a single long line.
