DiscTrak System - Version 1.704
Copyright (c)1992 Blam Entertainment Group, All Rights Reserved
Read Me File
DiscTrak System is distributed as a self extracting archive file.
If you didn't receive it as such, or failed to receive an opening
message upon running the file, you may have an altered copy. If
you suspect this, call Blam Entertainment Group as soon as possible
for an authenticity verification. The telephone number is listed
at the end of this document.
SYSTEM UPDATES:
This version of Disctrak applies updates from the following
versions:
1.18, 1.19, 1.20, 1.21, 1.22, 1.30, 1.31,
1.40, 1.50, 1.60, 1.61, 1.62
If you use the character "*" anywhere in your catalog numbers, and
are upgrading from version 1.40 or older (or any of the various bug
fix loads from these versions), the "*" will be changed to "ƒ" (if
that didn't come out on your printer, it's character ASCII 159).
You will have to restore it manually, provided you care.
IMPORTANT NOTICES:
* DiscTrak System is loaded using the "DT.EXE" file.
* DiscTrak System uses dBASE compatible .DBF files. However,
these files contain compressed data which will cause display
problems with dBASE and regular .DBF viewers. DO NOT try to
use these .DBF files with any program other than DiscTrak.
* If you get an error during program load which states "Blam
Entertainment Group - Out of Environment Space", there isn't
enough room inside your computers environmental memory for
required variables. Consult your DOS documentation on how to
increase your environment space.
* Be sure the following line is included in your CONFIG.SYS.
Files=20
If you already have a files statement, be sure it's value is
at least 20. DiscTrak System will not honour any file handles
above 8 if the files are loaded into high memory. All file
handles should be located in conventional memory.
* In order for the reports to print directly out of DiscTrak
System, the following line should be in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
file.
PRINT /D:PRN
This isn't necessary but it will eliminate the need to specify
a print device the first time you print a report.
* Be sure to have backup copies of your files before you upgrade
to a new version or before you install your serial number.
* For complete system documentation, please read "DT-USER.DOC".
* For an explanation of modifications from version to version,
please read the "DT-NEW.DOC" file.
Special appreciation goes out to all users, both registered and
non-registered, who have called, written and/or registered DiscTrak
System. Continued feedback has been invaluable.
A full Microsoft Windows version of DiscTrak System is being
planned. However, we will have to completely recode the program in
another language as Clipper does not port into Windows. This may
be a while in coming.
If you can think of anything special you'd like to see in DiscTrak
System, PLEASE call or write. With your help, we can make DiscTrak
System the best home entertainment cataloging program available for
the shareware price.
Special application requests will be considered. Please send us a
letter, describing in detail what you would like to see in
DiscTrak.
