Cd Scan Version 3.00
Copyright (c) 1992, 1993 by Joseph Dunn
This demo has been released as shareware on the 26th of January 1993 by
the author, Joseph Dunn. This is the READ.ME file for the latest version
of Cd Scan, THE Cd Cataloging System you've been waiting for!
This demo includes lots of new and exciting features like full
mouse support, colour/mono support, data protection and all the features
that should be in such a cataloging system like statistical analysis,
onscreen browsing, a comprehensive search facility, a print facility,
many useful utility options like the merging of catalogs, track time
manipulation for recording purposes, text file creation for aiding in
making cassette labels and lots more!
See the Whatsnew.300 file for more information on new features. See the
CDS.DOC file for full instructions on the use of Cd Scan v3.00.
This demo has some restrictions: you are limited to only 20 cds
instead of 2000 and only 10 tracks per cd instead of 40
accommodated on the Registered version. This demo is to enable
you to test Cd Scan's suitability for your needs before
purchasing a fully functional copy. If you continue to use Cd
Scan after a 30 day trial period you must register it by sending
a cheque or money order of $75 too me, the author, at the address
below. You must specify what disk size you prefer and give a
clear contact address, phone number (if possible) and email
address (if possible) to make it easier for me to send you your
disk and printed user manual (which is what your registration
entitles you to). I will also make an effort to inform registered
users of major updates to the software.
Disclaimer: I Joseph Dunn, the author of Cd Scan, will not be
made liable for any reason regarding the use or inability to use
this software. The software comes as is, you use it at your own
risk, however, I have tested it as comprehensively as time has
permitted and found it to perform as documented. All suggestions
for improvements and/or bug reports are certainly welcome, and,
necessary for the progression of any software.
Upgrading from v1.xx to 2.00
Version 2.00 of Cd Scan introduced a new, streamlined method of
storing its data files. As a result, data files created using
earlier versions, namely 1.xx, are not compatible with versions
2.xx but before you panic, I've included an upgrade utility to
convert between the two formats. To upgrade your old data files,
do the following: (I emphasise that this process is only
necessary for versions earlier than 2.00)
1. After installing Cd Scan on your machine, make sure your old
data files are in the same directory as all the Cd Scan
Distribution files and in particular, the UPGRADE.exe file.
2. Type UPGRADE
3. After pressing the Enter key, the upgrade utility will
proceed to convert your data files. Note: the new files will be
named CD_INDEX.DAT and CD.DAT.
4. once you have run Cd Scan and ascertained that your files have
been correctly upgraded, you may delete the UPGRADE.EXE file and
your old data files. It is wise to test the converted files first
although I see no reason that they should not have been
successfully upgraded.
Distribution: I encourage you to distribute the archive file as
far and wide as you like, the only restrictions being that no
files are modified and that all files are included .
List of included files:
READ.ME: This file,
CDS.EXE: The program,
CDS.DOC: a text dump of the user manual.
UPGRADE.EXE: Upgrade utility for v1.xx to 2.xx
WHATSNEW.300: A text file containing information about new features/bug fixes.
