FILE: README.TXT  DATE: 02/26/96  FROM: Collective Base Software

Welcome user:
Thank you for your interest in Collective Base Software's Media
Base 1.0. We hope you find the program usefull for recording all
of your media collection. The program was designed to be an
extensive media base program for a competitive price. We would
appreciate any comments and suggestions for enhancements for this
or any Collective Base Software program. Ideas for HOME BASE 1.0
are being accepted.

*** Media Base 1.0 was designed to be run in a resolution mode of
800 x 600 or higher. If you are running Windows in a mode less
than this you may have to use the scroll bars on the right hand side
and on the bottom of the screen to see more menu options and view
data. Contact your computer manufacturer, refer to your computer's
user manual, or Windows manual for directions on how to change the
resolution of your computer.

*** The manual for the program was built into the program. It can be
viewed or printed while using Media Base 1.0. It contains all
information you need to add, edit, delete, print, query, or report
the contents of your database. To view it just click the [HELP] button
on the Main Menu. On page 10 of the instructions there is an index of
the main topics of using the program.

*** When you are entering a record, and are ready to save it, you can
also press the [ESC] (escape key) to save. The manual did not have this
option in it.
