* 1 * Introduction
The History of "Movie" started in 1985 as a personal D-BASE(c)
program with all the basics. Time and the advent of greater
computer power contributed to today's program. The roots
began as simply a better way to keep movies. Starting with
a handmade cabinet and a fine understanding of how movies are
stored the drawing board was set. The first version of Movie
brought many suggestions for improvement and enhancement. User
support was tremendous. A new drawing board was constructed
and coding began. Commencement was celebrated with pride,
and a distant eye to where Sandds Movie Guide can go.
