This little program lets you copy one or more of the five
Riven CDs to your HD, so that CD swapping during the game
is reduced or completely avoided (when doing a full
installation).

It does nothing that a experienced PC user couldn't do
with some mouse clicks (namely copying some files and 
updating the riven.cfg file). But many players of the
Myst games are relatively inexperienced PC users,
so they might find this little program useful.


Some notes:

- This program does not work with Riven DVD,
  only with Riven CD.

- To avoid confusion with Step 4: everything that you
  check there will be copied to your HD or is already
  on your HD. For everything that is unchecked, you'll
  need to insert the appropriate Riven CD during the
  game. So to do a full installation of Riven and be
  able to play without CDs, check every box there.

- Make sure that you have enough free disk space on the
  drive/partition where Riven is installed. The program
  will give you a low disk space warning, when there are
  less than about 2.7 GB free, but it does no further
  checking. All data files from Riven's 5 CDs require
  2.7 GB in total.

- There's a file "b2_data.MHK" in the "Data" folder on
  the Riven CD 1. It is not copied to HD, as it only
  contains some "easter eggs", photos of RedOrb employees
  and similar. To my knowledge, the game does not really
  need that file.


and finally:

- I can't guarantee that the program will work on your PC
  as intended. Use it at your own risk. You can't make me
  resposible for any possible damage this program might
  do.




Thanks go to Kehrin, for the idea to this program,
and to Jerle, for testing.
Oh, and to Borland, for making Delphi. ;)


Shorah,
