Overview:
---------
The Cassiopei manager is required to manage the settings and files of the Cassiopei.


Attention:
----------
Please remove any previous version of the Cassiopei manager from your PC before installing a newer version !


Windows XP (service pack 3) not connected to the internet:
----------------------------------------------------------
When installing this software on a fresh Windows XP sp3 PC (not connected to the internet) then you must manually
install the .net distributables! Which is nothing more then starting the follwing files in the order below.
These files are to be downloaded from the same location as where you found the Cassiopei manager software and are
located in the zip file XPsp3 - Microsoft_distributables.zip, extract the zip and execute the files in the following order:
   WindowsXP-KB942288-v3-x86.exe.
   windowsxp-kb958655-v2-x86-enu.exe
   dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe

Now that these files are executed you are able to install the Cassiopei manager in the same way as you would on a machine connected to the internet, by starting setup.exe


Windows XP, 7 and Windows 8.1:
------------------------------
Now you are able to install the Cassiopei manager by starting:
 setup.exe





Version overview:
-----------------

20160213	:	The new features are: 
			- compressed TAP files, this means that you can store more then twice the amount of TAP files onto your Cassiopei!
			- the Cassiopei manager has a button for adding special file stypes like WAV, DTA, VOC, SYS, etc.
			- filesystem check can now also repair your filesystem or help you to solve the problem.
			- less confusing computer model defintions for the PET series in the computermodel settings related tools.
			- connectivity check before accessing the Cassiopei in order to prevent anoying messages in the Cassiopei manager
			- minor bug fixes regarding TAP file playback related to the Cassiopei manager (TAP file control page)

			Then there is also a preparation made for future functionality. This is D64 file handling, to create disk or make D64 images.
			This will eventually allow users to create real disk (writing the D64 image to a real disk using a real drive) or to create a
			D64 image (from a real disk in a real diskdrive). Please note that the D64 file format cannot be read by the Cassiopei directly,
			so the Cassiopei will never be a replacement for a diskdrive, this functionality simply allows you to archive your existing disk collection.
			Currently there is no Cassiopei software available that supports this functionality, but it is expected that it will become soon available.


20140618	:	Supports the PET-2001 (the first version of the PET, you know, the one with the chicklet keyboard)
			40xx models are offical and no longer in beta stage.
			The progressbar was improved, it didn't look right on windows 7 and windows 8. No problem on XP though.
			This was caused by the fact that windows 7 and 8 use animated progress bars, this make the bars slower
			causing their response to lagg 1-2 seconds. Meaing that for short files, the action is ready before the
			bar has reached completion... that's ugly and confusing. It was easily fixed by using the step function
			but before you know that this is related to the OS... Note to microsoft: please don't do this again.
			The funny thing is, a lot of professional programs also suffer from this problem, which I never noticed before.
			Batch file functions. Or in other words, it is now possible to add/delete more then one file at a time.
			A function very usefull for people who use the Cassiopei with different Commodore computer models and therefore
			need to change the installed .PRG and .TAP files.
