Program: S3 Mod Base
Date: 02/17.93
Version: 1.00
Author: George Spafford
Purpose:
To have a database that can track the .MOD sound files.
Install:
Copy MODBASE.EXE into a directory. When it is initially run, there will be
a delay while it builds the MODBASE.DBZ table file.
Procedure:
MODbase d:\path <- this will read all of the .MOD files in d:\path.
It will warn you if it finds a duplicate file name.
In this mode, it will read the file names, dates
file creation times, size and track title. If you
want to fill in any additional information, you can
do so later.
MODbase by itself runs the database program. Once in MODbase, you can add,
delete, search, switch indicies and print reports. The menu bar can be
accessed by either using the mouse or pressing the left ALT key by itself.
Data functions perform tasks on the data such as add, delete and update.
The "Records" menu option will tell you how many records are currently in the
database.
Index functions allow you to switch the order in which you see the data. The
current index will be displayed in the upper left area of the display window.
Set an index here when you are browsing or are wanting to print a report out
in a particular order. All indicies are in ascending order.
The report menu is probably what will be of interest to most people. A file
list report will print a single line report listing your .MOD files. Select
the index that you want to print with before you begin printing. The
collection list will print all the data fields for each .MOD file when it runs.
Searches can be performed on either the file name or the track title.
MODbase takes the approach of matching items with a greater than or equal
methodology. If you specify AAAAHHH as a track title and it is not there,
it will show you the closest match. A better example is if you want to
skip to file names that begin with the letter "T" - enter "T" alone to skip
up to them.
Menu items have shortcut keys listed next to them if you wish to use them.
Next and Previous can be accessed with ALT-N and ALT-P respectively.
The Clear command button is used when you want to clear all of the fields.
