- This is !Movie, Version 1.04 (27th June 1993)
-
- This software is SHAREWARE, not Public Domain and is
-
- (c) Richard Burnell, 1991-93.
-
-
- This program is basically a database of film titles,
- actors who appeared in the films, directors, writers
- and in some cases a short synopsis of the film, to
- tell you briefly what the film is about.
-
- You just type in a film title, an actors name or
- just parts of the former and the database will be
- scanned for the word(s) you typed in. When a match
- is found, all the information about that film will
- be displayed on the screen.
-
- The scanned words are not case sensitive, ie. just
- type in an actors' name - don't worry about starting
- it with a capital letter.
-
- Remember that the first word searched for, should be
- more uncommon than the second or third word in the
- search as it is this word that the program looks for
- first. When this first word is found then the second
- word is checked for in this line of text. If this
- word is found, subsequent checks (up to 10 words in
- total) are carried out.
-
- Thus, to find films 'Ed Asner' has appeared in, type
- 'asner ed' as there will probably be more Ed's found
- than Asner's.
-
- Note: You can now type, for instance, 'onner ean'
- and films that Sean Connery appeared in will be
- shown.
-
-
- An actor may, obviously, appear in many films, so
- you may need to slow down or halt the printing of
- the film information. The easiest way to do this is
- by pressing <CTRL> or <CTRL><SHIFT>.
-
- The abbreviations used in this database are :-
-
- SE: Special Effects by
- M: Music by
- W: Written by (Original story by)
- P: Produced by
- D: Directed by
-
- The program is speeded up slightly if the whole
- application ie. !Movie, is copied into and run from
- the RAMDISK.
