TCDR v2.1 README 2002/11/28 Szilard Torok

There is a more complete tcdr manual now in HTML format.

Created directories (you can change these):

        /mnt/images/
                tcdr will use this as a working directory.
        /mnt/images/cdroot/
                use this for mastering.
        /mnt/images/sound/
                tcdr will use this for audio files.
