Eject allows removable media (typically a CD-ROM, floppy disk, tape
|
|
drive, or JAZ or ZIP disk) to be ejected under software control. The
|
|
command can also control some multi-disc CD-ROM changers, the
|
|
auto-eject feature supported by some devices, and close the disc tray
|
|
of some CD-ROM drives.
|
|
|
|
See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to compile and install
|
|
the program.

|

It is loosely based on the SunOS eject command.
|
|
|
|
If you have any problems or suggestions, drop me a line. I'm
|
|
particularly interested in hearing if it does or doesn't work with
|
|
media other than CD-ROM or when running Linux on non-Intel machines.

|
|
Version 2.0 is mostly a rewrite of version 1.5 to clean up the source
|
|
and add a number of new features (and take out some useless ones).
|
|
Many thanks to the beta testers for version 2.0:
