   The devicename for the CD-ROM drive defaults to /dev/sr0; if needed,
   this can be overridden by a command-line switch. See the manual page.
   
   For WorkMan to function you will need a kernel-supported CD-ROM drive
   which uses the Sun-style ioctls for audio control. Currently, there
   are three options: I have implemented these functions for SCSI-2
   CD-ROM drives; the patches for this can be found in a misc. SCSI
   patches release by Eric Youngdale: look on tsx-11.mit.edu:pub/linux/.
   These patches are known to work with a Sony CDU-541 drive.
   
   The other two options are the Sony CDU-31A and CDU-535/531 drives with
   their special interfaces. Drivers for these drives, written by Corey
   Minyard and RONJ.AN@site007.saic.com (Jeppesen, Ronald), respectively,
   can be found at sunsite.unc.edu and tsx-11.mit.edu.
   
   You can also use WorkMan's SCSI passthrough code, enabled by defining
   LINUX_SCSI_PASSTHROUGH at compile time. This will cause WorkMan to
   send SCSI-2 audio commands directly to the drive rather than going
   through the Sun-style audio ioctls.
   
   Do _not_ use LINUX_SCSI_PASSTHROUGH if you have an IDE drive -- it
   won't work!
   
   You will need the X libraries and the XView3L3 package (look on
   sunsite). *IMPORTANT:* the included Makefile.linux should work. *DO
   NOT* run xmkmf unless you know that you have the OpenWindows .tmpl
   files. As far as I know, they are *NOT* in the XView3L3 package... At
   least I don't have them. (They are reportedly in the XView3L5 package,
   but you need to run "imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X386/lib/X11/config
   -I/usr/openwin/lib/config" instead of xmkmf.)
   
   If you want to use the online help, you'll need to pick a key to act
   as the XView "Help" key, since PC keyboards don't tend to have Help
   keys. F1 is a typical choice. Tell the X server about it with xmodmap,
   like:
   
     xmodmap -e "keysym F1 = Help"
     
   You'll also have to install the workman.info file in the right place
   as described in the Makefile.
   
   WorkMan was ported to Linux by Chris Newbold
   <newbie@inmet.camb.inmet.com>, who seems to have disappeared from the
   net; if anyone knows where he is (and he is still interested in
   helping out with WorkMan on Linux) please [1]let me know.
   
   Also let me know if you have anything to add to these install
   instructions; I don't have a Linux system so none of the above is
   firsthand information.
