*** EZMUSIC v1.1 ***
HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS:
EZMUSIC requires at least 512K RAM and any color monitor.
IMPORTANT:
If you have an earlier version of EZMUSIC, you cannot use the
old data files in this program. Registrants of EZMUSIC will be
sent (along with the FLEXIDAT program) a utility which will
convert your old data files to the new format.
VERSION CHANGES:
Data files in new format for faster access.
Number of records per file increased to 32000 from 1000.
Value field added, totaled during search.
Mouse support added. (Mouse NOT required, however)
Search or edit by any of 5 fields now instead of 2.
Print individual records through search function.
Load file from anywhere on system.
DESCRIPTION:
EZMUSIC is a VERY easy to use data-tracking program designed
for your music collection.
Since it is a small program, it may easily be kept on a
diskette with your data. (although it will run much faster
from a hard-drive, especially when handling large data files).
It offers the following features:
1.) Easy Menu-Driven interface.
2.) Prompts at all screens.
3.) Search feature by any of 5 fields.
4.) Record Removal based on Search function.
5.) Prints entire file to line-printer.
6.) Up to 32000 records per file.(unlimited number of files).
7.) Full mouse support.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Since the program is SO easy to use, no detailed instructions
are required, however, there are some instructions within the
program.
SUGGESTIONS:
Some users may prefer other headings for some categories, and
since the first five fields are longer, you may customize these
to an extent.
For example: if you would like to include the Group which an
artist is in, when adding data in the Artist field, enter
the artist name, then your own field:" Group: " and the group
after that. You may use the TAB key to easily separate your
self-created fields.
Since the program does NOT require the ENTIRE data field for
a search, you should be able to access your data by Group names
in this fashion.
