- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- This package contains MCBase: the Music Collection dataBase sytem.
- (Version V1.1e), by Harry Doldersum.
-
- This document contains only a brief description of the package and its
- features, along with instructions for its installation. Quite detailed
- documentation is included in the package, but it is in archived form,
- and is more easily read after installation.
-
- If you've ever wished you could organize and manage your music
- collection in an easy and efficient way, then MCBase is the program
- for you...
-
- MCBase is a shareware program. This evaluation version includes all
- features of the program, and is not crippled in any way. You may use it
- for up to 30 days, without charge (see LICENSE.MCB for more details).
- If you like the program, and wish to continue its use after this
- evaluation period, you are required to pay for the program (see
- ORDER.MCB for more details). Any fee you may have paid to others (disk
- vendors, dealers, etc.) to obtain this evaluation version was a fee for
- their copying and distribution services, rather than a payment for
- continued use of this program.

- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- 5. Installing MCBase: Shareware version.
-
- IMPORTANT NOTE: this section discribes the installation of MCBase from
- the original "ARJ"-type archive file. It is very lightly that the
- various BBS-sysops will convert this original archive file to a format
- that is standard on their system. Two other common archivers, that you
- might encounter, are PKZIP (by PKWare, Inc) with the filetype "ZIP" and
- LHA (by Haruyasu Yoshizaki) with the filetype "LZH".
-
- You received the shareware version of MCBase as the archive file
- MCBxxx.ARJ. If you did NOT receive MCBase as this archive file, then
- please make sure, you have the following files after extraction of the
- archive: MCBASE.EXE, MCBASE.DOC, GENMCB.EXE, LICENSE.MCB, ORDER.MCB and
- REVISION.MCB.
-
- (Your copy could be incomplete and you might get the wrong idea about
- the performance and documentation of the MCBase system).
-
- You will need Robert Jung's ARJ.EXE to extract the archive. Use the
- following command to extract all files:
-
- ARJ x MCBxxx.ARJ
-
- In case of a ZIP-file format, use: PKUNZIP MCBxxx.ZIP
- In case of a LZH-file format, use: LHA e MCBxxx.LZH
-
- Installing MCBase on your system should not be very difficult, if you
- follow these steps:
-
- - 1) Copy the original MCBxxx.ARJ archive file to a floppy disk and
- store it in a safe place.
-
- - 2) Create a new directory for the MCBase system.
-
- - 3) Move all the extracted files to this new directory.
-
- - 4) Generate a set of datafiles by running GENMCB.EXE.
-
- - 5) DELETE GENMCB.EXE after use! It generates NEW and EMPTY databases,
- so you wouldn't want to use it after you've been entering data.
- (You can retrieve another copy from the MCBxxx.ARJ archive file,
- should you need it).
-
- - 6) Run MCBase. The program will now create the neccesary index-files
- (KEYxMBx.NDX) and the printer configuration file MBPRINT.CFG.
-
- - 7) Exit MCBase.
-
- - 8) Start your wordprocessor, import this ASCII-document MCBASE.DOC and
- print it.
-
- - 9) If you have a printer which is NOT an Epson-compatible, you should
- now run MCBase and edit the printer commandset. Check your
- printermanual for the correct commands and see section 29 for
- assistance on printer commandset editing.
-
- After these steps you'll be ready to run the shareware version of the
- MCBase Music Collection DataBase system.

-
- The author makes no warranty of any kind, either express or implied. In

-
- ===== License for Use and Distribution =================
-
- MCBase license agreement.
-
- MCBASE IS NOT FREE SOFTWARE.
- The commercial, registered version of MCBASE may not be duplicated
- other than for backup purposes. A registered copy of MCBASE must be
- treated like a book, in that the same registered copy of MCBASE may
- not be used in more than one computer at the same time, just as a book
- cannot be read by more than one person at the same time.
-
- By registering your copy of MCBASE you do NOT become the owner of this
- software package, but you are granted the fully supported use of the
- MCBASE database system. The MCBASE software package will remain the
- total property of the author, Harry Doldersum, under all circumstances.
- Therefor, a user will never have the right to (re)distribute the
- registered version of MCBASE.
-
- Users are granted a limited license to use the SHAREWARE version of
- MCBASE for a limited evaluation period of 30 days maximum, in order to
- determine if the produkt meets their needs. Any other use of MCBASE or
- use past this period requires registration.
-
- Alle users are granted a limited license (and are encouraged) to copy
- the shareware version (NOT the registered version) of MCBASE only for
- the purpose of allowing others to try it, subject to the above
- restrictions as well as these:
-
- MCBASE must be distributed in absolutely unmodified form, including
- all program, documentation and other files as found in the original
- MCBxxx.ARJ (xxx = version number) archive file. If you MUST repack
- the ARJ-archive then please make sure you include all files as
- found in the original archive.
-
- MCBASE may not be included with any other produkt for any reason
- whatsoever without a written license from the author: Harry
- Doldersum.
-
- No payment may be charged for MCBASE, other than a fee to cover
- copying expences.
-
- Bulletin Board system operators may post the unregistered User supported
- trial (SHAREWARE) version of MCBASE on their BBS for downloading by
- their users WITHOUT written permission of the author (= Harry Doldersum)
- ONLY if the above mentioned conditions are met, and only if no special
- fee is necessary to access the MCBASE archive file.
-
- Distributors of User Supported Trial software (SHAREWARE) and Public
- Domain software, MUST obtain written permission from the author (= Harry
- Doldersum) before distributing MCBASE and must follow the above
- mentioned conditions (Exclusions: see "Important notes" below).
- Permission is almost always granted; this requirement is necessary to
- ensure protection for myself (Harry Doldersum) and MCBASE users from
- unscrupulous individuals.
-
- IMPORTANT NOTES:
-
- -1) You may not advertize MCBase as free software, but as SHAREWARE
- only! Please explain the shareware concept to prospective buyers.
- -2) Distributors, who are an ASP member (or those who follow the
- ASP's guidelines), do NOT need my written permission for
- distribution.
- -3) ALL distributors or BBS-systems must seize distributing MCBase
- within one month of written request by the author.
-
- For further information on distribution topics, see the VENDINFO.DIZ
- file.
