        <Char_Desc_2000>MCBase - the Music Collection dataBase system. The most flexible tool to manage the collection of the serious music collector. MCBase not only stores the information on your collection, but can also store multi media files (both sound and video clips) in it's database. Also included is a  powerful (SQL enabled) user report designer.

MCBase is a relational database system that has been set up to assist music collectors in managing their collections, regardless of the media on which the music is recorded. In this multimedia era, the idea behind MCBase is, that it strives to support the serious music collector in his/her effort to maintain their music collection in every aspect possible - as much as possible.

To establish such a high level of support, MCBase does not only support the collector in handling their collection's data, but also by handling any related graphics, sound and video clips in various formats.
The primary target that MCBase is aiming at, is to give it's user (alphabetic) access to all material present in his/her music collection. The access itself can be achieved in several ways: a user could store the song's sound (or video) in the appropriate database field and access it directly from there, or a user can make an inquiry on where an item is located in the collection's storage. If required, a user could choose to print reports of this data and store these near to his/her stereo, to serve as a handy and quick reference guide to quickly find specific items in the music collection. As from this release, users can even define their own reports (reporting to either screen or printer) to query or search their collection, in any way they desire.

MCBase is using the Paradox database format, an established industry standard, to process your data. This means that your data is stored in a transparent manner and always transferable to other applications.

MCBase requires a one time registration and offers free upgrades & add-on products.</Char_Desc_2000>

<Permissions>
        <Distribution_Permissions>Webmasters and Bulletin Board System operators may post the unregistered
SHAREWARE version of MCBase on their BBS for downloading by their
users WITHOUT written permission of the author (= Harry Doldersum)
ONLY if the following mentioned conditions are met, and only if no special
fee is necessary to access the MCBase archive file:

     MCBase must be distributed in absolutely unmodified form, including
     all program, documentation and other files as found in the original
     MCBxxx.ZIP (xxx = version number) archive file. If you really MUST
     repack the ZIP-archive then please make sure you include all files as
     found in the original archive.

     MCBase may not be included with any other product for any reason
     whatsoever without a written license from the author in person or his
     legal representative in these matters.


Other distributors of SHAREWARE and Public Domain software, MUST
obtain written permission from the author (Harry Doldersum) before
distributing MCBase and must follow the above mentioned conditions
(exclusions: please see "important notes" below). Permission is almost
always granted; this requirement is necessary to ensure protection for
ourselves and MCBase users from unscrupulous individuals.


Important notes:

-1)  You may not advertize MCBase as free software, but as
     SHAREWARE only! Please explain the shareware concept to
     prospective buyers.
-2)  Distributors, who are an ASP member (or those who follow the ASP's
     guidelines), do NOT need our written permission for distribution.
-3)  ALL distributors and/or BBS-systems must seize distributing
     MCBase within one month of written request by the author.</Distribution_Permissions>
        <EULA>MCBASE LICENSE AGREEMENT.

The MCBase software is NOT free software, but is made available to you for
your evaluation (see below at "Evalutation period" and "Evaluation limit").
While in it's evaluation status, the software introduces itself as being in a
"unregistered shareware (= 'try before you buy') state".

EVALUATION PERIOD:
     You may EVALUATE this copy of the MCBase database system for
     a period of 30 days (OR until you've reached the EVALUATION
     LIMIT for a database, which ever comes first), to determine if the
     product meets your needs. After this trial period you must register
     your copy (by purchasing a usage license and a registration key) at
     one of the given addresses (see the MCBase order forms within the
     file ORDER.DOC or visit the ORDER page on our website at
     www.Doldersum.com) OR STOP using the MCBase software.

EVALUATION LIMIT:
     While in it's shareware evaluation status, MCBase is limiting itself to
     accomodate (roughly) 30 albums. We are assuming that, once when
     you have entered such an amount of data, you will have formed your
     opinion of the product and are working BEYOND the point of an
     EVALUATION USAGE.

The shareware evaluation limit is terminated IMMEDIATELY after adding
the registration key to the system.


The MCBase registration key, is STRICTLY PERSONAL and may not be
duplicated other than for backup purposes on your personal behalf, as it
releases the shareware evaluation limits and allows MCBase to function in it's
unlimited registered mode.

By registering (purchasing a registration key and usage license), you do
NOT become the owner of this software package, but you are granted the
fully supported use of the MCBase database system. The MCBase software
package will remain the total property of the author, Harry Doldersum, under
all circumstances.

All users are granted a limited license to use the SHAREWARE version of
MCBase for a limited evaluation period (See "Evaluation period") in order to
determine if the product meets their needs. Any other use of MCBase or use
past this period requires registration. (PLEASE NOTE THAT CONTINUED
USE AFTER THE EVALUATION PERIOD WITHOUT VALID
REGISTRATION IS A VIOLATION OF COPYRIGHT LAWS).

All users are granted a limited license (and are encouraged) to copy the
shareware version of MCBase only for the purpose of allowing others to try
it, subject to the above restrictions as well as these:

     MCBase must be distributed in absolutely unmodified form, including
     all program, documentation and other files as found in the original
     MCBxxx.ZIP (xxx = version number) archive file. If you MUST
     repack the ZIP-archive then please make sure you include all files as
     found in the original archive.

     MCBase may not be included with any other product for any reason
     whatsoever without a written license from the author in person or his
     legal representative in these matters.

     No payment may be charged for MCBase, other than a fee to cover
     copying expences.

     IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT SHARE YOUR REGISTRATION
     KEY: SHARING YOUR REGISTRATION KEY IS A VIOLATION
     OF COPYRIGHT LAWS!
