MOVIES TO GO! contains information on 1,000 movies. You can search for your

IMPORTANT NOTE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Because of its size, MOVIES TO GO! is usually distributed in two parts, the
Standard Version and the Graphics Version. The Standard Version requires
the following files to run:

Generally, the standard version is distributed in the file MOVIEA11.ZIP and
the graphics version is distributed in the file MOVIEB11.ZIP. Usually,
MOVIEA11.ZIP is downloaded first, with MOVIEB11.ZIP being only downloaded by
those who have EGA (or better) graphics capability and a fast 286, 386, or 486
computer. We normally don't include the data files (?.FIL) in MOVIEB11.ZIP,
so a person must download both to get the graphics version. MOVIEC11.ZIP
contains the animated icons files.
MOVIES.ICO is included for those who want to install MOVIES TO GO! into
Microsoft Windows.
MOVIES.TXT is recommended reading to get the most out of MOVIES TO GO! It also
tells you how to submit your own reviews to ImagiSOFT for publication.
SUBMIT.TXT is a movie review submission form for those who want to submit their
own reviews to be published in MOVIES TO GO!
VENDOR.DOC tells shareware vendors how to get a hold of us.
