- . HOW VIDEO.80.V6 WORKS
-
- . VIDEO.80.V6 stores records on each show in this form...
-
- . tape no. name type length start end
-
- . Where tape no. is the number of the tape; name is the name of the
- show; type is a code for the type comments and sound of the show; and
- length is the time of the show in minutes. Start and end are the
- starting and ending counter numbers.
-
- . VIDEO.80.V6 allows up to twenty shows on one tape. It will search
- and manage among these records as it completes its functions.
-
- . VIDEO.80.V6 stores the length of each tape. This enables the program
- to support a variety of tapes.

- . USING VIDEO.80
-
- . With its menu-driven format and a generous number of system prompts I
- hope you will find VIDEO.80.V6 fun and easy to use. I normally use
- VIDEO.80.V6 weekly after reviewing the TV listings for the next week.
- I will search for space to record the new shows and print a 'taping notes'
- log to leave by my VCR. I then will print a full listing of all shows
- from the 'PRINTOUT' options.
-
- . Sometimes I will then update the file by changing the type of some
- shows to 'temporary'. These shows will be considered for replacement by
- VIDEO.80.V6.
-
- . A sample datafile (called vidfile) may be on your disk. Begin your time
- with VIDEO.80.V6 by selecting 'load a program' from the 'FILE MANAGEMENT'
- menu. Use this data to explore the options and capabilities of VIDEO.80.
- Later you can re-enter the program and begin creating your own unique data
- file using the 'VCR INFORMATION' options.
- +
-
- . A note for those of you who have used previous versions of VIDEO.80.
- This version DOES support multiple speeds on VHS or Beta VCRs.
- The program will use previously created datafiles. You will be prompted
- to enter the speed at which your shows were recorded. VIDEO.80.V6 will
- make the necessary file conversions automatically.
-
- . It would be a good idea to save a version of the old file in case you
- encounter any conversion problems.
-
- . To avoid any file problems you should avoid using commas in any
- input field.
-
- . A file called 'bootmaker' may be on this disk. You can run this
- program to create an auto-booting feature for your copy of VIDEO.80.V6.
