===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
This package contains MCBase: the Music Collection dataBase sytem.
(Version V2.0), by Harry Doldersum.
========== I M P O R T A N T ================
SET VALUE FOR "FILES=xxx" IN YOUR SYSTEM'S CONFIG.SYS TO A MINIMUM VALUE
OF 40, AS IN:
FILES=40
OR HIGHER! SEE "MCBASE REQUIREMENTS" IN THE DOCUMENTATION FILE
"MCBASE.DOC" FOR FURTHER INFORMATION!
===================================================
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.
This NEW MCBase V2.0 is a fully event driven, mouse controlled, object
oriented, dBaseIII+ compatible, relational-to-the-max, windowing database
management system, with handy dialogs, and is very flexible when it comes
to your personal configuration preferences. The only REAL database system
for the music collector.
MCBase is a shareware program. This evaluation version includes all
features of the program. You may evaluate 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 purchase 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.
Please note: continued use, after the evaluation period, is a violation
of copyright laws.

===== Installation =====================================
Installing MCBase from an archive file.
========== I M P O R T A N T ================
SET VALUE FOR "FILES=xxx" IN YOUR SYSTEM'S CONFIG.SYS TO A MINIMUM VALUE
OF 40, AS IN:
FILES=40
OR HIGHER! SEE "MCBASE REQUIREMENTS" IN THE DOCUMENTATION FILE
"MCBASE.DOC" FOR FURTHER INFORMATION!
===================================================
IMPORTANT NOTE: this section discribes the installation of MCBase from
the original "ZIP"-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 ARJ (by Robert K. Jung) with the filetype "ARJ" and LHA
(by Haruyasu Yoshizaki) with the filetype "LZH".
Normally, you will have received the shareware version of MCBase as the
archive file MCBxxx.ZIP (xxx = version number). If you did NOT receive
MCBase as this archive file, then please make sure, you have at least the
following files after extraction of the archive:
MCBASE.EXE - MCBase executable file, for XT-compatibles and
up.
MCBASE.DOC - MCBase documentation file (as an ASCII-text
file).
ORDER.MCB - MCBase order form.
LICENSE.MCB - MCBase license agreement.
REVISION.MCB- MCBase revision history.
GENMCB.EXE - Utility to create a new (and empty) set of
database files.
INSTALL.DOC - MCBase installation guide.
README.1ST - IMPORTANT MESSAGE ON CONFIG.SYS'S "FILES=xx".
FILE_ID.DIZ - Description file.
VENDINFO.DIZ- Description file, according to VENDINFO standard.
The following files (a demonstration database set) should also be
included:
MCB1.DBF MCB2.DBF MCB3.DBF
MCB1.DBT MCB2.DBT MCB3.DBT
MCB4.DBF MCB5.DBF MCB6.DBF
MCB4.DBT MCB5.DBT MCB6.DBT
(Your copy could be incomplete and you might get the wrong idea about the
performance and documentation of the MCBase system).
You will need PKWare's PKUNZIP.EXE to extract the archive. Use the follo-
wing command to extract all files:
PKUNZIP MCBxxx.ZIP
In case of an ARJ-file format, use: ARJ x MCBxxx.ARJ
In case of an 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.ZIP archive file to a floppy disk and
store it in a safe place.
- 2) Note: Among the extracted files, should be a demonstration database
set. In case you don't want to use the demonstration database
(anymore), execute GENMCB.EXE to generate a new set of
datafiles. 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.ZIP archive file, should you need it).
- 3) Create a new directory for the MCBase system, place the archive
file in it and extract all files.
- 4) Start your wordprocessor, import the ASCII-document MCBASE.DOC and
print it.
- 5) Run MCBase. If missing, the program will now create the neccesary
index files (MCBxKEYx.NDX) and the configuration file MCBASE.CFG.
Note: If an MCBASE.CFG configuration file was INCLUDED in the copy
of the MCBxxx.ZIP archive file that you received, then delete
this MCBASE.CFG prior to execute MCBASE.EXE. If the contents
of this particular MCBASE.CFG configuration file does NOT
match YOUR system's configuration, MCBase may not be able to
complete initialisation.
- 6) If you have a printer which is NOT an Epson-compatible, you should
now run MCBase and check the printer configuration. See your
printermanual for the correct commands and see section "Configuring
MCBase", topic "Printer" for assistance on printer configuration.
After these steps you'll be ready to run the shareware version of the
MCBase Music Collection DataBase system.
===== Warranty =========================================
MCBase Disclaimer
The author makes no warranty of any kind, either express or implied. In
NO event shall the author be liable for ANY damages or loss arising
out of the use or inability to use this software, even if the author has
been advised about the possibility of such damages or loss.
By using and/or handling this software, you agree to all terms mentioned
in this document.
===== License for Use and Distribution =================
MCBase license agreement.
MCBASE IS NOT FREE SOFTWARE.
The registration key, which you receive from us after registering, is
STRICTLY PERSONAL and may not be duplicated other than for backup
purposes on your personal behalf, as it turns the shareware version of
MCBase V2.x into a registered version. An MCBase registration key must be
treated like a book, in that the same registration key may not be used on
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.
Users are granted a limited license to use the SHAREWARE version of
MCBase for a limited evaluation period (See "Evaluation period") in order
to determine if the produkt meets their needs. Any other use of MCBase or
use past this period requires registration. (PLEASE NOTE THAT CONTINUED
USE AFTER THE EVALUATION PERIOD WITHOUT VALID REGISTRATION IS A VIOLATION
OF COPYRIGHT LAWS).
Evaluation period: You may EVALUATE this copy of the MCBase database
system for a period of 30 days (OR until you've
reached the EVALUATION LIMIT for a database,
which ever comes first), to determine if it
meets your needs. After this trial period you
must register (buy) your copy at the given
address (see the MCBase orderform within the
documentation set) OR STOP using this software.
Evaluation limit: While in it's shareware status, MCBase is
limiting itself to accomodate (roughly) 30
albums. We are assuming that when you have
entered these 30 albums (or whatever database
that might be the first to reach it's shareware
evaluation limit), you're BEYOND the point of an
EVALUATION USAGE.
All users are granted a limited license (and are encouraged) to copy the
shareware version (NOT the registered version: DO NOT SHARE YOUR PERSONAL
REGISTRATION KEY) 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.ZIP (xxx = version number) archive file. If you MUST repack
the ZIP-archive then please make sure you include all files as
found in the original archive.
MCBase may not be included with any other product for any reason
whatsoever without a written license from the author: Harry Dolder-
sum.
No payment may be charged for MCBase, other than a fee to cover
copying expences.
Bulletin Board system operators may post the unregistered 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 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: PLEASE SEE
"IMPORTANT NOTES" BELOW). Permission is almost always granted; this
requirement is necessary to ensure protection for ourselves 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 our written permission for distribution.
-3) ALL distributors and/or BBS-systems must seize distributing MCBase
within one month of written request by the author.
For further information on distribution topics, see the file
VENDINFO.DIZ: ANY distribution satisfying all the distribution
requirements expressed in that data record is hereby authorized.

in this document.
