Introduction
ckCover is a program to design and print CD covers or CD inlays.
After trying a lot of programs and templates for Word, I concluded they didn't
work properly or introduced viruses. So I decided to write a CD cover program
myself. I'm happy with the result; It does do exactly what I wanted.
After reading the picture for the front cover it is scaled and placed on the
right position. After reading the text for the back cover it places itself on the
right place, also the splines will be filled with the right text.
On the help pages you will find a description of how to download the front pictures
and the contents list for the back from the internet.
