-
-
- DiscTrak System is distributed as a self extracting archive file.
- If you didn't receive it as such, or failed to receive an opening
- message upon running the file, you may have an altered copy. If
- you suspect this, call Blam Entertainment Group as soon as possible
- for an authenticity verification. The telephone number is listed
- at the end of this document.

-
- SYSTEM UPDATES:
-
- This version of Disctrak applies updates from the following
- versions:
- 1.18, 1.19, 1.20, 1.21, 1.22, 1.30, 1.31,
- 1.40, 1.50, 1.60, 1.61, 1.62
-
- If you use the character "*" anywhere in your catalog numbers, and
- are upgrading from version 1.40 or older (or any of the various bug
- fix loads from these versions), the "*" will be changed to "ƒ" (if
- that didn't come out on your printer, it's character ASCII 159).
- You will have to restore it manually, provided you care.
-
-
- IMPORTANT NOTICES:
-
- * DiscTrak System is loaded using the "DT.EXE" file.
-
- * DiscTrak System uses dBASE compatible .DBF files. However,
- these files contain compressed data which will cause display
- problems with dBASE and regular .DBF viewers. DO NOT try to
- use these .DBF files with any program other than DiscTrak.
-
- * If you get an error during program load which states "Blam
- Entertainment Group - Out of Environment Space", there isn't
- enough room inside your computers environmental memory for
- required variables. Consult your DOS documentation on how to
- increase your environment space.
-
- * Be sure the following line is included in your CONFIG.SYS.
-
- Files=20
-
- If you already have a files statement, be sure it's value is
- at least 20. DiscTrak System will not honour any file handles
- above 8 if the files are loaded into high memory. All file
- handles should be located in conventional memory.
-
- * In order for the reports to print directly out of DiscTrak
- System, the following line should be in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
- file.
-
- PRINT /D:PRN
-
- This isn't necessary but it will eliminate the need to specify
- a print device the first time you print a report.
-
- * Be sure to have backup copies of your files before you upgrade
- to a new version or before you install your serial number.
-
- * For complete system documentation, please read "DT-USER.DOC".
-
- * For an explanation of modifications from version to version,
- please read the "DT-NEW.DOC" file.

- Special appreciation goes out to all users, both registered and
- non-registered, who have called, written and/or registered DiscTrak
- System. Continued feedback has been invaluable.
-
-
- A full Microsoft Windows version of DiscTrak System is being
- planned. However, we will have to completely recode the program in
- another language as Clipper does not port into Windows. This may
- be a while in coming.
-
-
- If you can think of anything special you'd like to see in DiscTrak
- System, PLEASE call or write. With your help, we can make DiscTrak
- System the best home entertainment cataloging program available for
- the shareware price.
-
- Special application requests will be considered. Please send us a
- letter, describing in detail what you would like to see in
