This is a program to help you keep track of all those video
tapes that tend to collect around the house. If you are like
me, you have managed to collect quite a few. After all with
the cost of new release video tapes at about $10.00 - $20.00
it almost seems like a false economy to rent them rather
than to simply buy them! Some of these tapes are only
available for a short time and so you might want to add
these to your collection while they are still available!
But, once you get all of these tapes, how are you going to
keep track of them? I started this project with just that
question in mind. My first attempt was in the days before I
got my first PC and I used a trusty typewriter! Eventually I
used several database managers, but they never gave me quite
what I wanted so, eventually I started writing this program.
Version 1 (for lack of a better description) has worked in
our household steadily since I first wrote it about
September of 1992. But, we wanted a little more flexibility
in the way we looked at our movies, so I started on this
version. I then added the ability to define printers so that
everyone can have their printout look the best it can using
their own printer.
So, Give it a try, If you like it I will send you the
registered version for only $10.00. I will also provide you
with any updates which come along as a result of suggestions
from you or any other registered user for a minimal cost.
This will get rid of that irritating opening screen and 15
second delay at the end. This will also support the concept
of "ShareWare" and keep the cost of software down.
Remember to send your $10.00 to:
Richard Thomas
804 E. Gentile St.
Layton, UT 84041
Be sure to tell me what disk size you want, and I will send
it to you via return mail.
