Description:
------------
The  program  was  designed  for  audiophiles who have multiple formats for
their collections (Cassettes, CDs, Albums and Reel To Reels).  It  is  more
in  depth than ANY of the other audio programs Unicorn distributes.  So, if
you need more than a basic catalog SoundZ is the program for you!  Features
include:

*Standard   entries   for  Title,  Artist  ,  Reference  Number,  Category,
Price/Value, Date of Purchase, Date of Origin, UNLIMITED  number  of  songs
per  side (with separate notes entries for each tune!), a Liner NoteZ field
of up to 5000 lines, PLUS three User Defined Fields.  The  names  the  User
assigns to these fields are used on all screens and in print outs.

*The  choice  of obtaining Print Outs for all data or a Criteria.  Criteria
selections for  specific:  Artist,  Title,  Reference  Number,  Value/Cost,
Origin  Date,  Purchase  Date,  Tune,  Category,  any  of  the User Defined
Fields, or a ComboZ of up to 4 of the data fields (with And/Or).

*Print  Outs  available:  An  abbreviated  listing,  full  catalog, 3X5 and
Rolodex Cards, Audio side labels  (regular  Avery  audio  labels),  J  Card
style  case inserts (with cut out lines), Liner NoteZ, Standard Labels, and
Facts&Figures. A Custom List option that allows the User to pick and choose
items to include in print out.

*Tune List option that prints out Tune (Including notes  about  the  tune),
Title,  Reference  Number  and  Artist  for every tape in the data file (or
Criteria).

*Program  uses  double  high/wide  font for J Card Reference Number to make
them easy to see.  Choice of printing  J  Cards  one  or  two  wide  (paper
saver!).

*User can enter name for use in Library Of line on J Card  and  audio  side
labels.

*Find!   option  that  searches  for  specific  SoundZ  by  all  fields  or
combination. Will also Find!   for  a  single  tune  and  gives  on  screen
pointer when Found!

*Liner  NoteZ  uses  standard  word  processing  commands, and offers block
commands and ASCII Import/Export of text.

*Close Nuf' feature that allows partial  'wildcard'  style  entries  to  be
used for Criteria, Change, Delete, and Find! options.

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.

Hardware Requirements: 256K  RAM,  IBM  graphics/laser  printers,  mono  or
colour monitor, hard disk drive.

Other Requirements:  MS-DOS 2.11 or higher.

Vendor Update Program:
----------------------

Most vendors have standard procedures for acquiring new  files.   They  get
them  from  other  vendors,  BBSs, etc.  Most authors cannot afford to mail
disks to hundreds (perhaps thousands) of vendors.   However,  some  vendors
prefer  to obtain programs directly from the authors.  If you would like to
obtain programs directly from us, automatically, then  please  help  us  to
cover the cost.

If  you  are  NOT  on our current mailing list, but you would still like to
receive automatic updates directly from us, then please take  advantage  of
our  Vendor Update Program.  Under this program you can receive updates for
an entire year for only $10 for all 11 programs (this helps to  offset  our
costs).

To  receive  updates, simply send us a letter with your name, company name,
mailing address, the name of the person we should  contact  (such  as  your
disk  librarian), and a check or money order for $10. (Countries outside of
North America please add an additional $10). Payment in U.S. funds drawn on
a U.S. bank only please.

The Vendor Update Program covers all programs in release.  For  a  complete
list see the file UNICORN.COM.

All  vendors  participating in our Vendor Update Program will automatically
receive any NEW programs which we may release  while  their  Vendor  Update
Program is in effect.

The Vendor Update Program is only intended to help us cover our expenses in
those  cases where a vendor desires to obtain the program directly from us.
If you have other standard ways to obtain programs, then you may prefer not
to use our Vendor Update Program.
