If installing the CD version, it will Can rip and compress the Redbook Audio CD speech track to the hard drive for CD-less play. Be sure to read notes included on the installer license page. If installing the floppy version, copy the files from your floppy disks into a temporary folder on your hard drive and run this installer from that folder.


Debug Modes
