_________________________________________________
002 INSTALLATION:
-------------------------------------------------


You will need to have approximately 5mb of free space
when the catalog files are de-archived.  An additional 2 to 3
megabytes is required, if you index the catalog.

The catalog files can not be de-archived manually.  You must use
the installation utility to install these files.  If you do not
use the installation utility, the catalog may appear to be
scrambled when you try to read it.


________________________________________________
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
------------------------------------------------

This software requires an IBM compatible computer with at least
380K of memory available.  A hard disk is required as the files
are too large to fit on a floppy disk.


________________________________________________
USING THIS MANUAL
------------------------------------------------

This manual is divided into three main sections.

You are reading section one now.  It contains the introductory
information.

Section two provides a short Quick Start set of instructions for
those of you who can't wait to give
the catalog a try.

The third section is a reference section that describes, in
detail, all of the features in this software.

No computer experience is required to use this software, however
you will need to know which letter designates each disk drive on
your computer.  For example, a hard disk is usually drive C and
floppy disks are drives A and B.  Check your computer's manual
for the letters used to designate the drives on your computer.


_________________________________________________________
USING THIS CATALOG WITH HOMECRAFT'S ORGANIZE SOFTWARE
---------------------------------------------------------

The files in this catalog are fully compatible with all later
versions of HomeCraft's "ORGANIZE!..." (OYC) software.  If you
are using the OYC software, you can also use it with this catalog
(except that this catalog is not compatible with some of the
shareware versions of OYC).


For more information about the ORGANIZE! software send for our
free catalog.

SECTION TWO:


________________________________________________
003 GETTING STARTED - Quick Start:
------------------------------------------------

For those of you who want to get started right away, here is a
very short summary of how to use this catalog.  In this
"short-cut" we have assumed you have a basic knowledge of
computers and software.

Before starting the software, be sure your computer is set for
the directory containing the "RHINO94.EXE" file.  If you get a
DOS prompt on the screen when your computer starts, use the DOS
Change Directory (CD) command to set your computer for the
correct directory.

Once in the correct directory, type RHINO94 and push ENTER to
start the software.

A blank "search" screen will now be displayed on the screen.  To
see an entry in the catalog, push the F1 key.  This will put the
software into the browse mode and display the last entry.  You
can now push F1 to move backward through the catalog, or push F2
to move forward.

When you are done browsing, push F7 to clear the screen.

To search for a song or artist, enter the information you want to
find on the appropriate line.  For example, type "Turtles" on the
ARTIST line.  Push F8 to start the search; then push the TAB key
to select the "Quick View" option.  All of the "Turtles" songs
will be listed on the Quick View screen.

The Quick View screen let's you see 20 songs at a time.  You
can use the PgUp, PgDn, Home, End, and Cursor keys to move around
and see various parts of the list.


________________________________________
THE CATALOG
-----------------------------------------

All of the information in the catalog, except the type of music,
is entered in upper and lower case.  The type of music is always
entered using all capitals.

Each song is a separate entry in the catalog.  If you want to
find all of the songs on a CD/tape, then search either for the
title of that CD/tape or search for its catalog number.  When
doing this I suggest using the Quick View display option so as to
easily see the list of songs on the CD/tape.  To do this search
type the name of the CD/tape on the ALBUM TITLE line, then push
the F8 key.

You can search for any of the information in the catalog in the
same way.  You can also have the software do a cross reference
just by filling in information you want to find on two or more
lines.


-----------------------------------------
ORDERING A CD/TAPE
-----------------------------------------

When you see a song that is on an CD or tape you want to order,
highlight it and then push the ENTER key to display the complete
information about that song.  Then push CTRL-O.  Answer the
questions that appear.  An order form will be printed when you
exit from the software.


SECTION 3:


____________________________________________________________
004 REFERENCE SECTION:
------------------------------------------------------------

This section of the manual provides detailed descriptions of each
function on the drop-down menus. First let's go over the
information and options presented on the Main Screen.


________________________________________________
005 The Main Screen:
------------------------------------------------

Most of the time you'll be using functions that are accessed from
the Main Screen.  This screen includes a listing of menus across
the top of the screen.  The top line also includes the current
entry number in the upper right corner of the screen.  When you
are at a blank screen (no entry displayed) the entry number will
be blank.  When information is on the screen, the associated
entry number will be displayed.

The second line from the top of the screen has a horizontal
double line.  This is a status line.  The name of the catalog in
use will be displayed in the middle of this line.  The function
currently in use (i.e. Main Screen, Search, etc...) is identified
on the right side of this line.

The left side of the second line also includes status
information.  For example, if you push the INS key to put the
software into the character insert mode, the letters "INS" will
be displayed at the left edge of this line.  As long as INS is
shown there, the software remains in the character insert mode.

The space at the bottom of the screen also contains a horizontal
double line and below that is the mouse prompt/status line.  The
mouse prompts identify the F-Key short-cuts.  You can use the
mouse to click on any of these prompts to quickly use the
features they represent.



________________________________________________
Clearing The Screen:
------------------------------------------------

There is one key that is very handy, the F7 key.  Pushing F7 will
clear the screen of all catalog information and return you to the
Main Screen.  If you are in the search, and want a clean screen
to start a new search, push F7.  If you need to erase a screen
full of information, push F7.  If you are using a mouse, you can
click on the "7 Clr" prompt at the bottom of the screen to
accomplish the same thing as pushing F7.


------------------------------------------------
Typing Information (Filling In The Blanks):
------------------------------------------------

When you are entering search criteria (entering the song or
artist you want to find) you essentially just "fill
in the blanks" with the information you want to find.  Various
keys help you get around on the screen.

The cursor can be moved around using the up/down and right/left
cursor keys.  When using the up/down cursor keys, the cursor will
move directly up and down--it will not return to the beginning of
a line when it's moved to a new line.  You can move the cursor to
a new line and return it to the beginning of that line by pushing
the ENTER key.  Each time you push the ENTER key, the cursor will
move down by one line.  When the cursor is on the bottom line,
pushing ENTER will move it to the top line.

To quickly move the cursor to the right you can use the TAB key.
Each time the TAB key is pushed the cursor will move five spaces
to the right.  Pushing the END key will move the cursor to the
end of the line.  The HOME key moves it to the beginning of the
line.  Holding the CTRL key and pushing either the left or right
cursor key will move the cursor to the left or the right by one
word.

Whenever the cursor reaches the beginning or the end of a line,
your computer will beep to indicate it can go no further.  If you
do not want to hear this "beep," you can turn it off by pushing
CTRL-A.  This will display the Screen Set-Up options.  Push the
F1 key to toggle the beep off.  Then push ESC to return to the
Main Screen.

You can type information at any time.  The character you type
will be placed at the cursor location and the cursor will move
one space to the right.  The software will accept accented

characters, characters used in some European languages and all
English language characters.  It will not accept most graphics
characters.


________________________________________________
Insert & Delete:
------------------------------------------------

If you need to insert characters, place the cursor at the point
where you want them.  Push the INS key.  The letters INS will
appear on the upper left of the screen (second line from the top
of the screen).  You can now type the characters or words you
want to insert.  As you type, any information to the right of the
cursor will move to the right.  If the existing information
reaches the right edge of the line, it will disappear and be
lost--one character will disappear for each character you insert.

To get out of the insert mode push the INS key again.

Characters can be deleted by pushing the DEL key.  When the DEL
key is pushed, the character at the cursor location will be
erased and everything to the right of the cursor will move left
by one space.  The Backspace key will also delete characters.
When Backspace is pushed, the character to the left of the cursor
will be erased.



________________________________________________
THE MENUS:
------------------------------------------------

The software uses drop-down menus.  All the capabilities of
the software are accessed through these menus.  The names of the
menus are listed across the top of the screen.  Some of the
frequently used functions can be used directly by pushing the
appropriate "F" key.  Prompts showing the functions available
using the "F" keys are at the bottom of the screen.

The name of each menu contains one capitalized letter.  To select
a menu, hold down the ALT key and press the capitalized letter in
the menu's name.  For example, to select the "Search" menu, hold
down the ALT key and push the letter S.  You can also pull down a
menu using a mouse by putting the mouse cursor on the menu's name
at the top of the screen and clicking the left mouse button.

Once any menu is displayed (dropped down), you can move from one
menu to the next using the left/right cursor keys.

When a menu is displayed, the top selection on the menu will be
highlighted by a scroll bar.  The scroll bar is moved up and down
through the menu selections using the up/down cursor keys.  To
select an item on a menu, highlight it with the scroll bar and
push the ENTER key.  If you are using a mouse, put the mouse
cursor on the menu selection you wish to use and click the left
mouse button twice (double click).


________________________________________________
006 THE UTILITIES MENU:
------------------------------------------------

The Utilities Menu has three options.  Press ALT-U to display the
Utilities Menu.


________________________________________________
007 Utilities - Print Software Documentation
------------------------------------------------

Since you are already reading this manual, I assume you have
printed the documentation.  If not, you can use this option on
the Utilities Menu to display and/or print the complete user's
manual.


________________________________________________
008 Utilities - Alphabetize:
------------------------------------------------

To find information quickly the alphabetical searches use indexes
to look up the required information and then go directly to the
entry that has that information.  In other words, indexes provide
a way for searches to be very fast.  Indexes are also required in
order to list information in alphabetical order.  The software
uses the indexes to generate the alphabetical listings and
searches.

When you first install the catalog the indexes will not be there.
You will need to tell the software to built new indexes.  The
indexes will use about 2.3mb of disk space.

The "Alphabetize" feature is completely automatic.  To reindex,
use the scroll bar to highlight "Alphabetize" on the Utilities
Menu and push ENTER.  You'll be asked whether you want to
continue.  Push "Y" and everything is automatic from that point.

Indexes are separate files stored on your disk.  They are
relatively fragile files that maintain a record of the
relationship among many separate words and phrases.  If the files
on your disk become fragmented or cross-linked, the indexes can
become damaged.  Although indexes do not effect the catalog
files, if the results of a search do not seem to make sense, try
making new indexes by using the "Alphabetize" feature.


________________________________________________
009 Utilities - Set Screen Colors:
------------------------------------------------

The READ software will initially start running in the black &
white mode.  To switch it to color, select "Set Screen Colors" on
the Utilities Menu.  You can also push CTRL-A to jump directly to
this screen from the Main Screen.  Five possible color settings
will be displayed.  Push the number, from 0 to 4, that indicates
the color combination you want to use.  (Generally #1 provides
the best setting).

This set-up screen also allows you to control the BEEP that
sounds when the cursor reaches the end of a line.  Push F1 to
toggle the BEEP on or off.



________________________________________________
010 THE SEARCH MENU:
------------------------------------------------

This menu is used to start all of the listings and searches.
There is a difference between a listing and a search.  A listing
is used when you are not searching for anything in particular,
but just want a list of the entries in a catalog.  That listing
may be alphabetized.

A search is used when you want to find something.  You can search
for artist's names, song titles, CD/cassette titles, or any of
the other information in the catalog.  And you can cross
reference any of the information in a catalog.

The top box on the Search menu includes the two types of listings
available.  The second box down includes the two main types of
the searches.

Each time you start a search a window will appear giving you
several choices for how you want to the report to be generated.
Push the TAB key until the "X" moves to the option you want to
select and then push ENTER.  The options are:

"Individual Entry" - this option will display entries on
the screen, on at a time.  This is a good way to see everything
about a song on one screen.

"Printer: Continuous Paper" - prints the results of a search or
listing using the selected report format.  There are four report
formats provided.  (See the section covering the Reports Menu for
information on how to select a reports format).  This option is
the one to use for nearly every printer, including laser
printers.  Although laser printers use individual sheets of
paper, they automatically feed them continuously into the
printer.

ASCII (document) file - saves the results of a search or listing
in a text file on your hard disk using the report format that has
been selected on the Reports Menu.

"Printer: Single Pages" - this option is used with older, daisy-
wheel types of printers for which each individual sheet of paper
has to be feed in by hand.

"Quick View" - displays the information for 20 songs at one time.
You can then page the screen up or down using the PgUp and PgDn
keys and scroll it from side to side using the left/right cursor
keys.  This is the best way to see information about a lot of
songs at one time.

To see a detail screen about an individual sing, se the up/down
cursor keys to highlight it on the Quick View screen and ten push
ENTER.  To return to the Quick View screen push either F1 or F2.


________________________________________________
011 Search Menu - List Entries:
------------------------------------------------

At the top of the Search Menu, is the "List Entries" feature.  It
will list the songs in the order they are stored in the catalog.
When you select "List Entries" on the Search Menu, you will be
prompted for the entry number with which you want to start the
list.  Then you will be prompted for the last entry number you
want in the list.  The software will list all the entries
between, and including, the entry numbers you specify.


________________________________________________
012 Search Menu - List Alphabetically:
------------------------------------------------

By selecting this option, you can list the information in the
catalog in alphabetical order by either ARTIST or SONG TITLE.
However, you must have first alphabetized the catalog using the
alphabetize option on the Utilities Menu.

To get an alphabetical listing first put the cursor on either the
ARTIST or SONG TITLE line.  The location of the cursor is used to
tell the software which line will be used to set the alphabetical
order.

Push ALT-S to display the Search Menu and then use the cursor
keys to move the scroll bar to the "List Alphabetically" option
and push ENTER.  The entire catalog will be listed in
alphabetical order.

_______________________________________________
Searches - General Information
-----------------------------------------------

All of the information in the catalog is entered in upper and
lower case.  To conduct searches you need to enter the each word
so that the first letter is capitalized.

Artist's names are entered with the last name first, then a
comma, and the first name.

Any song title or name that starts with the word "The" has had
the word "The" dropped.  Do no include the word "The" as the
first word when starting a search.

If a search does not find what you are looking for, try reducing
the amount of information you are searching for.  If you are
searching for a specific artist, try entering just the last name
or part of that artist's last name.  The less specific the
information you enter to find, the more likely it is that you'll
find something.  In addition, the chances of a typo or
misspelling is reduced.

________________________________________________
013 Search Menu - Sequential Search:
-------------------------------------------------

There are two basic types of searches; sequential searches and
alphabetical searches.  A sequential search looks at each entry
one at a time in "sequence", examining it to see if it contains a
match for the search criteria.  This type of search has the
advantage of being able to find matches even if the matching word
or phrase is not the first word or phrase on the line.

You start a sequential search by first entering the word or
phrase you want to find on the appropriate line and then
selecting the "Sequential Search" option on the Search Menu; or
pushing F8; or using the mouse cursor to click on the "8 Srch"
prompt at the bottom of the screen.
________________________________________________
Cross References:
------------------------------------------------

Any of the information in the catalog can be cross-referenced
with information on any other line or groups of lines.  All you
need to do is "fill in the blanks" with what you want to find,
start the search, and the software will automatically take care
of the cross referencing.  For example, let's assume you want to
find all the "love" songs by "Jackie Wilson". That's a
cross-reference between the SONG TITLE and the ARTIST.

Start by entering "Love" on the SONG TITLE line and "Wilson,
Jackie" on the ARTIST line.  Then push F8 to start a the search.
The software will automatically cross reference the two lines and
display all songs by Jackie Wilson that have the word "Love" in
the title.

Note: F8 searches find matching information, even if it is
contained within a line.

________________________________________________
014 Search Menu - Alphabetical Search <F6>:
------------------------------------------------

To use the alphabetical searches, you must first have
alphabetized the catalog using the "Alphabetize" option on the
Utilities Menu.

Alphabetical searches provide several advantages.  First, they
are very fast.  While sequential searches may take several
minutes (depending on the speed of your computer), alphabetical
searches can find matches almost immediately.  Indexing quickly
determines whether there is a match and where the match is
located.  Second, alphabetical searches will automatically list
matches in alphabetical order.

The disadvantage of alphabetical searches is that they will not
find matching words or phrases if they are within a line.  For
example, using an alphabetical search to find "Love" on the SONG
TITLE line would only find those songs in which "Love" is the
first word of the song title.

There are several ways to conduct an alphabetical search.  The
first is a straight alphabetical search.  Enter the information
you want to find on either the SONG TITLE or ARTIST lines, leave
the cursor on that line, push ALT-S to drop-down the Search menu,
highlight "Alphabetical Search" and push ENTER.  You can also
start an alphabetical search without going through the menus by
