+There is no installation, just unzip to a new folder in the "Program Files"
+folder.  The .NET Framework 2.0 (x86) is required.  If you get a "could not
+load file or assembly" error message for FLACDotNet or WavPackDotNet, make sure
+the Visual C++ 2005 SP1 runtime files (x86) are installed.
+
+As an alternative to the Browse button, the input path may be set by dragging
+a .cue file onto the input path text box.
+
+"Output Style" naming compared to Exact Audio Copy:
+  CUE Tools:         Exact Audio Copy:
+    Single File        Single WAV File
+    Gaps Appended      Multiple WAV Files With Gaps (Noncompliant)
+    Gaps Prepended     Multiple WAV Files With Corrected Gaps
+    Gaps Left Out      Multiple WAV Files With Leftout Gaps
+
+Audio filename formatting variables (case sensitive).  The values are obtained
+from the CUE sheet only (not from any tags within the input audio files):
+  %D - Album artist
+  %C - Album title
+  %N - Track number
+  %A - Track artist
+  %T - Track title
+  %F - Filename of the input CUE sheet without extension
+
+A "special character" is anything other than a-z, A-Z, 0-9, space, or
+underscore.
+
+Custom output path formatting variables (case sensitive).  The remove special
+characters and replace spaces audio filename settings also apply to %D and %C
+here:
+  %D - Album artist
+  %C - Album title
+  %F - Filename of the input CUE sheet without extension
+  %0 - Full directory of the input CUE sheet
+  %x (where x is an integer) - Part of the directory of the input CUE sheet.
+       For example if the input CUE sheet is located in C:\Stuff\CUEs, %1 = C:,
+       %2 = Stuff, %3 = CUEs.  Negative numbers start from the end of the
+       directory, i.e. %-1 = CUEs, %-2 = Stuff, %-3 = E:.
+  %x:y (where x/y are integers) - Same as above but specifies a range.
+
+"Write offset" is the same as "Write samples offset" in Exact Audio Copy.  For
+negative offsets, silence is added at the beginning and samples are removed
+from the end.  For positive offsets, samples are removed from the beginning and
+silence is added at the end.
+
+The "Preserve HTOA" (hidden track one audio) setting will cause an extra file
+to be created when outputting a gaps appended CUE sheet if an index 0 for track
+1 exists.  If disabled, a PREGAP line will be written instead and the HTOA will
+be discarded.
+
+AccurateRip online database keeps CRCs of the ripped CDs. AccurateRip 'Verify'
+option accesses this database to compare the CRCs and ensure you have the
+exact copy. If the CD has been ripped with software, which doesn't handle
+CD drive read offset, or with incorrectly specified read offset, CRCs won't
+match, but the correct offset will be detected. AccurateRip 'Fix offset'
+option is a two-pass operation, which computes that offset during
+the first step, and applies it during the second step. If the output format
+is FLAC, and 'Add tags with CRCs' option in advanced settings is checked,
+the output flac file will contain ACCURATERIPCOUNT tag for each track,
+which shows that the track was ripped from the CD correctly, and also
+demonstrates how popular is this CD. You can set up foobar2000 to display
+this nice statictics for each file.
+
+The settings file is located in the "%AppData%\CUE Tools" folder.  For example,
+on Windows XP if your username is "John", the settings folder is likely
+"C:\Documents and Settings\John\Application Data\CUE Tools".
+
+Command line format: CUETools.exe [/verify] "filename"
+When called with a file name as argument, opens the usual dialog
+with this file name in the input box.
+When called with /verify switch and a filename, starts automatic
+AccurateRip verification, /convert stats conversion, and /fix
+starts AccurateRip verification and convertion (with possible
+offset correction).
