Program Name & Category:

Description:
------------
Short: See FILE-ID.DIZ
Long:
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.
Registration Information:

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 16 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 Update Program covers all programs in release. For a complete list see
the file UNICORN.COM.
All participants in our Update Program will automatically receive any NEW
programs which we may release while their Update Program is in effect.
The 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 Update Program.
