MOVIES TO GO!
Version 2.2
November 1, 1993
Copyright (c) 1993, ImagiSOFT, Inc.
All rights reserved.
If you have seen a previous version of MOVIES TO GO!, you will notice the
following improvements have been made in this version:
1) No more movies have a review which "No Review Available." Thousands of
hours have been invested during the last year making MOVIES TO GO!
more accurate and complete, and we are continue with this mission
each and every day.
2) You can now add a 20 character personal note to each movie (graphics
edition only). This makes MOVIES TO GO! the easiest video cataloging
program available today!
3) We have enhanced the printing options.
4) MOVIES TO GO! now supports XMS. Computers with 4 megabytes or more
total memory will see extremely fast searches -- about 6 seconds
for a key word search (the slowest search) on a 386 class computer
searching nearly 6,000 movies.
Thank all of you have helped us to make MOVIES TO GO! the best electronic
video movie guide available anywhere.
This shareware version of MOVIES TO GO! contains information on 1,000 movies
(the registered version currently has 5,756 titles, with more being added
daily). You can search for your favorite categories (comedies, drama, sports,
family, etc.), actors, directors, MPAA rating, key words, year, and more. Has
the setting, main characters, possible objectionable content, trivia, authors,
music, and box office gross too! You can even search for other special
categories, such as Dog Movies, World War II, Family Relationships, Robin
Hood, Knights, Halloween, Disney Movies, Horses, etc. Has both a text and
graphics interface.
Stunning graphics interface has animated icons, 3-D buttons, and graphic
menus. For example, the actor menu is displayed on a video tape, the main
menu is a TV set, and the search menu is displayed on a movie ticket.
Graphics version requires an EGA/VGA monitor, and a 386 class computer is
recommended, but not required to run it.
