Concept:
To help you catalog your cassette tapes and assist you in printing
catalogs, listings and labels for the case and front of the tape. There
are entries for Tape Number, Title, Artist, up to 12 Tunes on each side,
category as well as three User Defined Fields.
The following files must be on the same drive/sub directory:
CASMSTR.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 CASMSTR 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 Set Defaults 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.
WARNING: When you enter the names of these fields try to use a different
first letter for each option: Instead of Tempo and Tenor, use Mood and
Tenor. Failure to do this will confuse the program when you select it from
a menu by using the first letter. You can still use the lite bar if two
fields are named the same.
Library Of:
You can enter your name as you want it to appear on case inserts, up to
25 characters.
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.
-3-
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:
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 Cassette Number in use and any missing Cassette numbers (Mouse
Users: Hit the Middle Button).
How To Enter Cassettes:
There are three data samples in the data files already, they are: One Title
Tape, Two Title Tape "A" and Two Title Tape "B". To take a look at these
just enter the Update mode and select the one you wish to view.
Tapes With One Title:
Just enter the data for both sides and hit PageDown when done.
Tapes With Two Titles (One On Each Side):
Enter the data for each side as if it were two separate tapes, except use
the same Tape Number. It does not matter if you enter side one or side two
-4-
first, but when the file is in Tape Number order side two will appear first
when using Change or Erase.
When the program goes to print these two out, it will consider them as one
and print them out on one insert or label. Try printing out the sample data
to get an idea about how this works.
Also, 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 the screen.
Change And Erase:
When you select either of these options the screen will display up to 32
Tape 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.
You also have the option of looking for a specific Tape 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).
When Erasing if you select a Tape Number the Titles for both sides only
will appear, then you will be asked to confirm the deletion.
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.
-5-
Criteria:
You can choose the Artist, Title, Category, Cassette 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 Cassettes but also Bob Wallace, Bob Redford, etc. You may also
select a range of tape 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
(see below).
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 Tapes that are
in Category A and by The Beach Boys. Select the Category entry from the
KomboZ 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 Cassette Number, Category Title & Artist.
A Catalog provides all information.
A Custom 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.
Side Labels: Gives you Cassette Number, Artist & Title, all user fields
and Library Of line on 3 1/2" X 1 5/8" labels. (These are special audio
labels for cassettes, they can be ordered from The Computer Label Company
1-800-332-4223, or by mail: 727 Eugene Rd., Palm Springs, CA 92264.)
Case Insert: This will print case inserts for the cassette box. They will
have a dotted line around them, when they are cut out they fit neatly into
any clear cassette box. If you select 3 or more tapes and you have
selected the Wide default they will print 2 across, for selections of less
they print only one across.
-6-
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.
Tune List: Will list all Tunes, Cassette Number and Artist. Unless you
have very few Cassettes you will need a Hard Drive or High Density Drive
to use this feature.
Find Me!:
Can help you find all of the Cassettes in the data file that have a
particular Cassette Number, User Defined Field, Artist , as well as
Category or even a single Tune. Using "Close 'Nuf" you can Find! any tape
easily, ie enter as much information as you remember and it will search
based on your input, even if it is only one letter. You will first be
given a selection screen of titles that meet your Find Me! input then a
display screen for the ones you select. NOTE: PageUp on these data display
screens will take you back to the previous record, PageDown to the next
record and ESC to the Find! menu. You can also Find! for KomboZ (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.
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
-7-
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 Tape Titles On Inserts
Enlarged Report/Catalog Titles
Dbl High/Wide Tape Numbers on Inserts
Condensed Tune Titles On Inserts
2 Across J Cards:
This refers to the case inserts only. If you print more than two case
inserts the program will print them 2 across if you have answered Y. If
your printer can not handle it, (usually it will add a blank line between
each line it prints) select N and the program will print out all case
inserts one across, regardless of the number of inserts you are printing.
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 CassetteMaster prior to entering EXIT to return to
the program.
Upgrading To 7.40:
Upgrade To 7.40 From 7.21 or Later:
Copy the files CASMSTR.EXE, HELP.DBT &, HELP.PLS ONLY! onto you work disk
or sub directory and you are ready to go!
Upgrade To 7.40 From Other Earlier:
If you are using a version prior to 7.20 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.
-8-
2. Copy all of the files from the distribution dizk containing
version 7.40 onto your existing dizk or sub directory.
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 7.40 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 TAPES
and you have copied it to sub directory TEMP on you C: drive. When
prompted you would enter: C:\TEMP\ for location and TAPES for name.
5. The program will import all of the old files into version 7.40.
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.
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:
The 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.

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
-10-
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
for CD Number, Title, Artist, and up to 24 Tunes as well as Category and 3
User defined fields. The program will hold up to 9999 CDs (depending on
disk space) and can be used to find even a single song. It will also
produce a list of every Tune User have in addition to the regular catalogs
and case inserts. Find! option locates CDs by any of the data fields or by
a User defined mix of data fields. {$25}
AlbumMaster - To help Users catalog their Albums and assist with printing
catalogs, listings and labels for the front of the Album. There are entries

address. This program is a update for an earlier Unicorn Software release
called FORWARD2. {$20}
DayMaster - The program provides User with trivia, birthdays,
anniversaries for a particular date, but also allows User to include their
own information for any date. It also gives a quote for the day, and
