-
- Concept:
-
- To help you catalog your CDs and assist you in printing catalogs, listings
- and labels for the case and front of the CD. There are entries for CD
- Number, Title, Artist, up to 24 Tunes, category as well as three User
- Defined Fields.
-
- The following files must be on the same drive/sub directory:
-
- CDMSTR.EXE
- COLOUR.SET
- HELP.PLS
- HELP.DBT
- NEWUSER.DAT
- PRINT.SET
- TUNE.DAT
- UNIEMM.COM
-
- QEMM.SYS And Other Extended Memory Managers:
-
- Occaisionally a problem will be incurred by a person using QEMM.SYS
- or other extended memory manager. This has to do with the way that the SYS
- file manages memory vs the way that the program wants to use the extended
- memory (The program will attempt to use extended memory automatically, if
- it is available).
-
- On the distribution disk there is a program called UNIEMM.COM (This can be
- renamed to any legal file name EXCEPT the name of the EXE program). If you
- attempt to run the program and get a DOS ERROR or RUN ERROR message at the
- top of the screen, use the UNIEMM utility to start the program. It
- will tell the program you are using an extended memory that has this
- anomoly and command the program to remain in low memory instead of
- switching to extended memory. After passing these instructions to the
- program, the program will start with no other commands needing to be
- entered.
-
- Mouse Users:
-
- YOU must activate the mouse prior to the start of the program. Two Button
- Users: The Left Button serves as the return/enter key, The Right Button is
- the ESC key. Three Button Users: Same as two button Users, and the middle
- button is the F1 key.
-
- Getting Started:
-
- DO NOT INSTALL THE PROGRAM IF YOU ARE ALREADY USING IT SEE THE INSTRUCTIONS
- ON HOW TO UPGRADE THE PROGRAM
-
-
- -2-
-
- Type CDMSTR or UNIEMM to start.
-
- When you first start the program, the computer will bring up the Default
- Set Up screen. Just enter the info requested. When you name the Data
- Drive, the program will automatically copy the data files to that drive for
- you ! So Have A Disk In The Drive And Ready ! In order to create new data
- disks see Default SetUp below. You can rename the data file now or do it
- later. See below on how to do it later.
-
- Colours
-
- Color Letter
- -----------------
- Black N {As in Noir}
- Blue B
- Green G
- Cyan BG
- Red R
- Magenta RB
- Brown GR
- White W
- -----------------
-
- User Defined Fields:
-
- There are three User Defined Fields, they are 30,29 and 5 characters in
- length. When in Default Set Up you can name these anything you want. ie
- Producer, RCA Library Number, Length, Thumb (For Up or Down reviews),
- Writer, Original, well you get the idea. You can change these anytime you
- want. What you enter here will appear on the Add, Update, Delete Menus as
- well as the print outs.
-
- File Name:
-
- Any 8 character name , except TEMP and NEWUSER, can be used. If the name
- is already used the program will ask you to select a new name.
-
- Data Drive:
-
- The drive where you will keep your data disk. ex A,B,C,D etc.
-
-
- The System:
-
- Is designed using KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) so not much information is
- needed to get started. Here are a few notes to help you use the system:
-
-
-
- -3-
-
- Universals:
-
- The ESC key will take you back one menu (Mouse Users use Right Button).
-
- The box in the upper right hand corner of the screen will contain
- information on how to move around, and data entry tips.
-
- The last line of the screen will tell you what the highlighted option does.
-
- All menu entries can be selected with the light bar, or by pressing the
- first letter of the option (Mouse Users when highlited the Left Button will
- activate the option).
-
- The F10 key will bring up Help for a particular item, if no Help is
- availble for that item, it will allow you to enter the help index. From
- the index you may select any of the topics of help available. The Help
- file was not written by the same person who wrote this manual, therefore it
- might help better explain something to you than this manual does and vice
- versa. The file HELP.DOC has all of the Help screens in ASCII format so
- you can print or view them outside of the program.
-
- The F1 key will bring up the Quik Info screen. It will provide you with
- the last CD Number in use and any missing CD numbers (Mouse Users: Hit the
- Middle Button).
-
- How To Enter CDs:
-
- There is a data sample in the data files already. To take a look at this
- just enter the Update mode and select the one you wish to view. Try
- running the Find! and Criteria functions with the sample data to get a feel
- for how these functions work. This is a powerful program!
-
- DON'T FORGET TO DELETE THE SAMPLE DATA BEFORE YOU START ENTERING YOUR OWN!
-
- The Data Entry Screens:
-
- Any of the data entry screens during Add or Change modes can be 'zipped'
- through. That is if you do not enter the all the Tune lines just hit
- PageDown after entering the ones you need to blank the rest of the lines.
- ESC will abort.
-
- Change And Erase:
-
- When you select either of these options the screen will display up to 32
- CD Numbers and Titles. Move the light bar to the one you want to Update or
- Delete and press the enter key. The ESC key will take you back to the Main
- Menu and the PageDown key will bring up the next 32 Titles. When the
- program reaches the bottom of your file it will start again.
-
- -4-
-
- You also have the option of looking for a specific CD Number or Title
- (These will always be the last two displayed, so use the End key to get to
- the bottom and select the one you want).
-
- Close 'Nuf:
-
- In the Change, Erase, Criteria, and Find! when you enter the Title,
- Artist, User Defined Fields, etc you do not have to enter the entire
- thing. For example when entering a title you wish to deal with you do not
- have to enter the full Title, only the first few words, or even letters.
- In Update this will allow you to view all the records that are Close 'Nuf
- to what you entered. EXAMPLE: Entering "Meet" will bring up "Meet Me",
- "Meet The Beatles" and "I'll Meet You On The Other Side"
-
- Labels&Listings:
-
- You can print out All the data or select a Criteria of data to print.
-
- Criteria:
-
- You can choose the Artist, Title, Category, CDs Number, or any of the User
- Defined fields to select a Criteria of. Remember that 'Close Nuf' applies
- here too. So by selecting Artists named Bob you would get all of Bob Mea's
- CDs but also Bob Wallace, Bob Redford, etc. You may also select a range of
- CD numbers, keep in mind that these are inclusive, ie 25 to 27 will get
- you 25,26 & 27. You can also select a KomboZ of Criteria.
-
- KomboZ:
-
- Selecting this entry on the Criteria or Find! screen will let you combine
- up to four Criteria. For example you want a listing of all CDs that are in
- Category A and by The Beach Boys. Select the Category entry from the ComboZ
- screen, then type in A next select the Artist entry, when you do that you
- will have a choice of making the statement And or Or. (Chose And in this
- example) then you can enter the Beach Boys. The program will find all
- records meeting that Criteria and take you to the Forms menu or display it
- on the screen. (If you had selected Or in the above example you would have
- gotten all records for Category A or any done by the Beach Boys {even those
- not category A})
-
- A more complex example would be Category A or Category B and User Code D
- and Title A. (You would get all Categories A or B with the Code D and the
- title beginning with A.)
-
- Print Outs:
-
- A Listing provides the CD Number, Category Title & Artist.
-
-
- -5-
-
- A Catalog provides all information.
-
- Front Labels: Gives you CD Number, Artist & Title. (All Labels are
- standard 3" X 15/16" Pin Fed Labels.
-
- Tune List: Will list all Tunes, CD Number and Artist. Unless you have very
- few CDs you will need a Hard Drive or High Density Drive to use this
- feature.
-
- 3X5 Cards: Gives you all information printed on 3X5 pin fed cards.
-
- Rolodex Cards: Gives you all information except the Tunes on pin fed
- rotary index cards.
-
- A Kustom Listing allows you to build your own print out. Simply choose the
- number beside the items you wish to include in you print out. The computer
- will track the number of characters you have left and tell you if you go
- over 80. Hit PageDown to start the printout or ESC to abort.
-
- Insert: This will print case inserts for the CD box. They will have a
- dotted line around them, when they are cut out they fit neatly into any
- clear CD box.
-
- Find!:
-
- Can help you find all of the CDs in the data file that have a particular CD
- Number, User Defined Field, Artist , as well as Category or even a single
- Tune. Using "Close 'Nuf" you can Find! any CD easily, ie enter as much
- information as you remember and it will search based on your input, even if
- it is only one letter. NOTE: PageUp on these data display screens will
- take you back to the previous record, PageDown to the next record and Home
- to the Find! menu. You can also Find! for ComboZ (see above).
-
- Utilities:
-
- Indexing:
-
- You can put the file in Title, Number, Artist or Category order by
- selecting the appropriate option.
-
- Build For Speed:
-
- Should be run occasionally to keep the file in sequential order for speed.
-
- Ghost Buster:
-
- This feature should be run if you get blank records in your data file, by
- accident.
-
- -6-
-
- Default SetUp:
-
- Same as above. If you wish to create a new data disk, just blank out the
- Data Drive or insert the letter "Z" and then hit the page down key. You
- will then have the opportunity to name a new Data Drive and File Name.
-
- Printer SetUp:
-
- This allows you to customize the printer codes used by the program. These
- codes can be found in your printer manual. The codes that the program has
- when originally distributed are for the Epson FX100. You will need to know
- the code for 10 cpi (Pica), 12 CPI (Elite), Enlarged, Condensed (17CPI) and
- Double High/Wide. If your printer cannot handle double high/wide DON'T
- PANIC, just leave it blank; the program will use Enlarged for that entry.
- You do not have to enter the ESC part of the code, the program will add
- that automatically. You can enter the letter ESC code or the number it
- does not matter: ie ESC code 119 can be entered as "119" or "w". (Do not
- enter any " "s!)
-
- The codes are used as follows:
-
- 10 CPI Reports/Catalogs
- 12 CPI CD Titles On Inserts
- Enlarged Report/Catalog Titles
- Dbl High/Wide CD Numbers on Inserts
- Condensed Tune Titles On Inserts
-
- Shell To DOS:
-
- You can exit temporarily to DOS by using that option on the Utilities
- Menu. The file COMMAND.COM must be on root directory of the same disk as
- the other program files to do this. You must return to the
- subdirectory/drive of CDMaster prior to entering EXIT to return to the
- program.
-
- Upgrading To 6.71:
-
- Upgrade To 6.71 From 6.40 Or Earlier:
-
- If you are using a version prior to 6.71 this will help you upgrade
- your existing data files. Before installing ANY of the programs files:
-
- 1. Copy the ALL files with the DAT extension from your existing
- sub directory or diZk onto a work diZk or sub directory and set
- aside.
-
- 2. Copy all of the files from the distribution dizk containing
- version 6.71 onto your existing dizk or sub directory.
-
- -7-
-
- 3. Start the program and complete the Default Set Up screen as you
- desire, then from the Main Menu go to the Utilities Menu. Select
- the Upgrade To 6.71 option from the Utilities Menu.
-
- 4. Once selected you will be prompted for the sub directory or
- dizk location and the file name of the old files. DO NOT INCLUDE
- THE DAT EXTENSION! For example your old data file name was MYCDS
- and you have copied it to sub directory TEMP on you C: drive. When
- prompted you would enter: C:\TEMP\ for location and MYCDS for name.
-
- 5. The program will import all of the old files into version 6.71.
-
- 6. Registered Users have the option of just mailing their old data
- files (and .75 in stamps) to Unicorn and having them Upgraded for
- them.
-
- For versions after 6.41 just copy the 6.71 EXE file over the EXE file
- for that version. Also copy the files HELP.DBT and HELP.PLS.
-
- Maestro!:
-
- Is a program that will enable you to work with files created by Cassette,
- Album and CDMaster all at the same time. It will perform the same Find!
- and Print functions as this program, but will use the data from all of the
- *Master programs that you are currently using. Also, the program will do
- comparisons between the files to find multiple titles. Finally, the
- program will compare two completely different data files from two people --
- so if you have a friend using one of the programs it will compare your data
- to his.
-
- This program is FREE to registered users and will be sent with the
- registered version of the program.
-
- Two or More:
-
- Audio programs can be registered at the same time at a discounted rate:
- Register 2 programs for $37.00, all three for $55.00. Be sure to include
- the names of your choice(s) with your payment.
-
- Technical Assistance & Latest Versions:
-
- Both registered and unregistered Users can obtain technical assistance by
- calling (219) 563-HOME (4663). Unregistered Users will need to provide the
- name and address of where they obtained the software from in order to gain
- this assistance. This will let us go back to that company if they are
- distributing an older version and it helps us track who is distributing the
- program. The number is manned (by a human) from 6:00 to 9:00 PM EST, all
- other hours by an answering machine.

- Other Unicorn Programs:
-
- All programs are MSDOS compatible, run on 256K RAM, use IBM graphics/laser
- printers, mono or colour monitor, and can operate on one/two or hard disk
- drives (except DayMaster & CompUser which require a hard or high density
-
- -9-
-
- drive). The User can set the colours, printer codes, default data drive
- and data file name. There are no 'crippled' features or options. The only
- difference between the shareware and registered versions is the lack of
- 'plea' screens on the registered version and the clarity of the Users
- conscience. Amount in {} is price for registration.
-
- The *Master Series
-
- CDMaster - To help Users catalog their CDs and assist in printing catalogs,
- listings and labels for the case and front of the CD. There are entries
