ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       tab (@); l l.  CDDA_DEVICE@Reserved or later :)  CDROM@Try
       this  cdrom  as  default  (if  unset,  CDROM_DEFAULT @from
       params.h is used).   CDDB_PATH@path  to  your  local  cddb
       files  (if  unset,  _no_  cddb  titelinfo  @is  displayed)
       CDDB_SERVER@IP:PORT of a freedb  server  (if  unset,  only
       local   cddb   @stuff   is   used,   if   it   exists   in
       $CDDB_PATH/$discid).   LOGNAME@Is  used  for  remote  cddb
       login.  HOSTNAME@Is used for remote cddb login too.

FILES
       tab  (@); l l.  $HOME/.workmandb@Is used (first) for read-
       ing wmdb entries.  $CDDB_PATH/*@Is used for reeading/writ-
       ing cddb entries.

RETURN VALUES
       tab  (@);  l l.  0 @no errors occured / normal quit 1 @the
       given cd-device isn't a cd-device 2 @your cd seems  to  be
       sth. other then a CD-Audio or CD-Mixed 3 @some error while
       processing terminal code

NOTES
       Some terminals don't  like  the  default  escape-sequences
       from  params.h ... if so, you have to edit them ! Success-
       fully tested terminals are  vt100,  linux,  xterm,  xterm-
       color.

       If  you  haven't direct access to a freedb server, you may
       use some port redirector program ... see freshmeat.

       If you have devfs, mcdp will try /dev/cdroms/cdrom0,  else
       /dev/cdrom is tried!
