- What is Data Master?
- --------------------
-
- Data Master is a database program programmed for Amiga computers.
- It's not the best database program for Amiga (the best ShareWare/
- LicenseWare database program??), but it's cheap and specially made for
- an average user.
- In the program there are five different field types which are
- string (text), integer, floating point, type (selection) and boolean
- field types. In one record it can be up to 256 different fields and
- the number of records is practically limited only by the size of the
- free memory. Records can be sorted based on eight key fields.
- You can search from the database those records which match the
- search patterns given by the user (for example, all the records whose
- first field's first letter is A). You can also search for text strings
- from the whole database. Using Data Master it's possible to print the
- database for printer or save it as an ASCII file to the disk. Number
- fields can be displayed on the screen as graphic diagrams, and using
- this function you can simply compare records. There is a separate
- field editor for the creating of the fields. Records can be, of
- course, moved, copied, deleted or cleared as a single record or as
- a block which includes many records.
-
- The Copyright
- -------------
-
- There are two versions of the Data Master program; these are the
- registered version, which is LicenseWare, and the demo version, which
- is FreeWare. The rules of the registration and the copyright are in
- the following text.
-
- 1. The Data Master program and all the files distributed with it are
- copyrighted, and the owner of these copyrights is the author of the
- program. The author reserves the right to change the code of the
- program, any file with it, the rules of the registration and the
- copyright, and the registration fee without any public notice.
- 2. You are not allowed to copy and spread the registered version of
- the Data Master. The only exception for this is the right to make
- back-up copies. However, no one else but the registered user is
- allowed to use the registered version or the back-up copy of it.
- The registered user loses the right to use the program if he does
- not observe these rules.
- 3. It's allowed to copy and spread the DEMO version of the program,
- which is a FreeWare program, if the following conditions are met:
- A. No profit is made ( nominal charges for copy media are only
- permitted, maximum charge about DM 7)
- B. All the files which were released with the program are
- following it
- C. All the files stay unchanged
- 4. You are not permitted to change or modify the Data Master
- program, both the demo and the registered version, or any file
- released with the original program. All the files with the original
- program must follow it.
- 5. The author warrents the diskette which the author has sent to the
- registered user for 3 months from the date when the program has
- been sent by mail. If there are any defects on the diskette, the
- user has to send it to the author in a one week from the date when
- the defects were found, and then the user gets a new diskette from
- the author.
- 6. The program and the files are provided 'as is' without warranty
- of any kind, excluding the diskette warranty. Use of this program
- is at your own risk and discretion.
-
- The registration
- ----------------
-
- The registered version of the Data Master contains like the demo
- version, for example, a full manual, some example databases and this
- file. There is also the Mines game in the registered version.
- There are two ways, how you can order the registered version:
- 1. Send DM 35 or GBP (£) 15 in cash by mail with the filled Order Form
- (see the file OrderForm) or with a order where there are
- corresponding information. This way is easy, but not recommended,
- because you can't be absolutely sure how safe it really is.
- 2. Pay DM 48 (=35+13) or GBP 20 (=15+5) using the Foreign Payment
- Order. The extra payment is added, because my own bank takes a
- payment from me when I get the money to my account. Send the Order
- Form (see the file OrderForm) and the copy of the Foreign Payment
- Order Form by mail to the author. You have to fill the Foreign
- Payment Order Form in your own bank and also your bank takes a
- payment for doing this. Use the following information, when filling
- the Foreign Payment Order Form.

- Ohjelman rekisteröinti Suomessa
- --------------------------------
-
- Tällä hetkellä rekisteröintimaksu on Suomessa 90 (yhdeksänkymmen-
- tä) Suomen markkaa.
- Maksu voidaan suorittaa Suomessa seuraavassa esitetyin tavoin:
- 1. Lähettämällä edellä mainittu summa käteisenä tekijälle postitse
- omien henkilö- ja osoitetietojen mukana.
- 2. Maksamalla se Kansallis-Osake-Pankin tilille 103650-84710, ja lä-
- hettämällä pankkisiirtokuitti tai sen kopio ohjelman tekijälle. Te-
- kijä ei vastaa mahdollisesti väärälle tilille suoritetusta maksus-
- ta aiheutuneista vahingoista.
- SUOSITELTAVA TAPA:
- 3. Tilaamalla ohjelma tekijältä kirjallisesti lähettämättä rahaa tai
- pankkisiirtokuittia, jolloin toimitus tapahtuu postiennakolla ja
- rekisteröintimaksuun lisätään (ainoastaan) postituskulut.
- Jos mahdollista, käytä rekisteröinnissä OrderForm-tiedoston tu-
- lostetta tai vastaavat tiedot sisältävää vapaamuotoista tilauspyyn-
- töä.
- Rekisteröity versio sisältää demoversion lailla itse ohjelman li-
- säksi mm. manuaalin (joka Suomeen lähetetyissä ohjelmissa on täydel-
- lisenä sekä englanniksi että suomeksi), esimerkkitiedostoja sekä tämän
- tiedoston. Rekisreröityyn versioon sisältyy kuitenkin lisäksi esim.
- Mines-peli. Kannattaa myös muistaa, että rekisteröity versio on usein
- uudempi kuin demoversio, koska ohjelman kehittäminen jatkuu edelleen
- käyttäjien antaman palautteen perusteella.
