This text file contains the licence and contact information from the
StrongHelp docs (in case you don't have StrongHelp). Obviously you will need
StrongHelp if you wish to browse the StrongHelp documentation and have
something useful happen when you click on the ‘?’ icons in the dialogue
boxes. Interactive help will provide some information but in no great detail.
StrongHelp can be obtained from (for example):
Guttorm Vik's home page: http://login.eunet.no/~guttorvi/strong.html
Hensa: ftp://micros.hensa.ac.uk/micros/arch/riscos/d/d126
1.30 is mainly a bug fix for a potentially serious problem with handling
maintenance filenames. Also title files are closed correctly if MovieDB it
quit while in exact mode and the "portrayed in" field has been added to
biography expansions.
Since the changes to the memory management system in 1.29 advanced search is
now worse than ever. Advanced search (yeah, right!) has never really worked
very well anyway so I'm deferring fixing it until I can rewrite the whole
thing properly.
*Licence*
MovieDB is *FreeWare*. It must only be distributed in its /original/ archive
form (ie as it appears on my web page) and there must be no charge for it.
The contents of the data files generated by this software remain the
copyright of the IMDb and must not be distributed in any form as this
violates the IMDb copyright (see below).
Please note that the IMDb data files are covered under a different license
from this software. Please see the copyright details in any of the IMDb .list
files for details. Your attention is particularly drawn to the restrictions
on CD-ROM distributions.
If you wish to distribute any IMDb data (eg original .list files or a
pre-built copy of IMDb) you *must* seek permission from the IMDb who can be
contacted at licensing@imdb.com.
*Acknowledgements*
Thanks to John Baker for writing Credits - the first Acorn IMDB browser. I
fully acknowledge using this to verify the correct operation of MovieDB! I
used it regularly myself until MovieDB was working. :-) Thanks to all the
other people who have also identified bugs for me and provided suggestions
for improvement. (Vidar Hansen deserves special credit for this!)
There are whole bunch of people responsible for the IMDB without whom MovieDB
would be totally useless. They are: Col Needham, Michel Hafner, Harald Mayr,
Andre Bernhardt, Jon Reeves, Mark Harding, Colin Tinto, Murray Chapman, Rob
Hartill, Bob Glickstein, Joachim Polzer, Giancarlo Cairella and Peter Simeon.
Please see the FAQ to see exactly what these people are responsible for.
Thanks also to Guttorm Vik for the invaluable StrongHelp.
