- Copyright (c) 1992, 1993 by Joseph Dunn
-
- This demo has been released as shareware on the 26th of January 1993 by
- the author, Joseph Dunn. This is the READ.ME file for the latest version
- of Cd Scan, THE Cd Cataloging System you've been waiting for!
-
- This demo includes lots of new and exciting features like full
- mouse support, colour/mono support, data protection and all the features
- that should be in such a cataloging system like statistical analysis,
- onscreen browsing, a comprehensive search facility, a print facility,
- many useful utility options like the merging of catalogs, track time
- manipulation for recording purposes, text file creation for aiding in
- making cassette labels and lots more!
-
- See the Whatsnew.300 file for more information on new features. See the
- CDS.DOC file for full instructions on the use of Cd Scan v3.00.
-
- This demo has some restrictions: you are limited to only 20 cds
- instead of 2000 and only 10 tracks per cd instead of 40
- accommodated on the Registered version. This demo is to enable
- you to test Cd Scan's suitability for your needs before
- purchasing a fully functional copy. If you continue to use Cd
- Scan after a 30 day trial period you must register it by sending
- a cheque or money order of $75 too me, the author, at the address
- below. You must specify what disk size you prefer and give a
- clear contact address, phone number (if possible) and email
- address (if possible) to make it easier for me to send you your
- disk and printed user manual (which is what your registration
- entitles you to). I will also make an effort to inform registered
- users of major updates to the software.
-
- Disclaimer: I Joseph Dunn, the author of Cd Scan, will not be
- made liable for any reason regarding the use or inability to use
- this software. The software comes as is, you use it at your own
- risk, however, I have tested it as comprehensively as time has
- permitted and found it to perform as documented. All suggestions
- for improvements and/or bug reports are certainly welcome, and,
- necessary for the progression of any software.

- Upgrading from v1.xx to 2.00
- Version 2.00 of Cd Scan introduced a new, streamlined method of
- storing its data files. As a result, data files created using
- earlier versions, namely 1.xx, are not compatible with versions
- 2.xx but before you panic, I've included an upgrade utility to
- convert between the two formats. To upgrade your old data files,
- do the following: (I emphasise that this process is only
- necessary for versions earlier than 2.00)
-
- 1. After installing Cd Scan on your machine, make sure your old
- data files are in the same directory as all the Cd Scan
- Distribution files and in particular, the UPGRADE.exe file.
- 2. Type UPGRADE
-
- 3. After pressing the Enter key, the upgrade utility will
- proceed to convert your data files. Note: the new files will be
- named CD_INDEX.DAT and CD.DAT.
-
- 4. once you have run Cd Scan and ascertained that your files have
- been correctly upgraded, you may delete the UPGRADE.EXE file and
- your old data files. It is wise to test the converted files first
- although I see no reason that they should not have been
- successfully upgraded.
-
- Distribution: I encourage you to distribute the archive file as
- far and wide as you like, the only restrictions being that no
- files are modified and that all files are included .
-
- List of included files:
- READ.ME: This file,
- CDS.EXE: The program,
- CDS.DOC: a text dump of the user manual.
- UPGRADE.EXE: Upgrade utility for v1.xx to 2.xx
