- VIDEOWARE -- The Rules
- ======================
-
-
-
- This Program is Videoware. Let me explain:
-
- I'm looking for someone willing to tape "Married... With Children" (mostly seasons 1-5)
- and/or "The Simpsons" for me. Subtitles are OK but it _has_ to be the original soundtrack
- (no dubbed versions!). I'll pay the tapes as well as p&p so the only thing it'll cost you
- is a little of your time. If nobody agrees to do this for me within 3 months (that'll be
- june 97) the status of this program will change to Shareware. Otherwise this program may
- be regarded as Freeware, i.e. it may be copied freely as long as it's not sold for profit
- and no part of it is changed. An announcement will be made on the comp.sys.acorn* groups
- re. what it's gonna be.
-
-
- You should:
-
- - own a decent VCR; ideally HiFi but that's not compulsory. It definitely shouldn't be
- prone to eat tapes or produce lots of dropouts.
-
- - be able to tape the shows regularily. A missing show every now and then is no big
- problem but the percentage of missing shows should be smallish.
-
- Ideally you could also
-
- - get my home brand video cassettes (Fuji SHG240).
-
- - cut out commercials during recorings.
-
- but those aren't major points.
-
-
- Writing Software takes up a lot of time. Maybe you could spare some of yours for me.
- Don't rely on "someone else'll do it", if you could do it just contact me, please
- (preferably via email).
-
- OK, one (two) person(s) doing something so the rest can use this program for free may
- not be entirely fair but making everyone send me a tape would be completely useless to
- me since I'd only end up with lots of identical episodes. And I really want those shows,
- I'm sick and tired of the dubbed versions.
- Besides there have to be some people out there watching these shows anyway. What's the
- big deal in pressing the record button?
-

-
- DISCLAIMER:
- -----------
-
- The author will not be held responsible for any kind of damage resulting from using
- this program. I do exhaustive debugging with all my software so serious errors are
- unlikely but if you use this program it's entirely at your own risk.
- If you do find any bugs please report them so future versions may be improved.
