-
- CDS was originally written out of my own need for a program to help me
- search the catalogs from the Compact Disc Connection. The original program
- was very simple but now has evolved into a fairly complete software product.
- CDS allows you to quickly search any of the catalogs for any text string.
- Wish lists can be created and maintained for future reference.
-
- Format: CDS <parameters>
-
- Parameters:
- 25 - Force 25 line mode
- 43 - Force 43 line mode (EGA)
- 50 - Force 50 line mode (VGA)
- MONO - Force monochrome attributes
- BIOS - Use BIOS screen writes (very slow)
- SNOW - Remove snow (for old CGA video cards)
- NOGraph - Do not use graphical mouse cursor
- NOMouse - Do not use any mouse support
- NOVM - Do not use XMS/EMS (only if needed)
-
- Example: CDS /43 /MONO <- Runs CDS in 43 line mode in mono
-
-
- Help is always available by pressing F1.
-
-
- Wish List
- ---------
- Starting with version 2.0, CDS allows you to have more than one wish list!
- After CDS displays all of the records found in a search, position the
- highlight bar on a CD and press ENTER. A menu will display of all wish list.
- If none have been created yet, you will prompted for an 8 character name.
- When the menu of wish list is displayed, press the INSERT key to add another
- wish list.
-
-
- Liability
- ---------
-
- CDS has been tested on multiple machines using many different configurations
- and no problems have occurred. However, if a problem does arise due to CDS,
- I cannot be held responsible. Use at your own risk.

- Why Register?
-
- Registration eliminates the opening and closing screens and entitles you to
- full access to my BBS where you will find many other great utilities as well
- as CDS catalog updates. Included in the utilities is a program that will
- allow you to download only the revisions to the catalog each month instead
- of having to download the entire catalog. These updates will only be
- available to registered users.
-
- Registered users receive all future releases of CDS free! These releases
- will be available on my BBS as well as many other BBS's including
- CompuServe. Registration also includes full access to the support BBS.
-
- As new features are added (and many are planned!), the price will gradually
- go up so register now and get ALL future updates for free!
