     VCR List - The easy way to keep track of movies you have
     on VCR cassettes.
     If you collect movies on VCR cassettes, it can be 
     difficult to find a movie or keep track of which movies
     you have.  VCR List provides a way of organizing your 
     vidio collection.  
	The on-screen interface was designed to be 
     uncomplicated and easy to use.  The program provides a 
     sorted, scrollable list of movies that can be edited.  
     For each film, VCR List records the movieTitle, the 
     Type (category), the Tape Number, the Position on the 
     tape, and the Length of the film in minites.  It also 
     provides a 254 character description field for each film. 
	VCR List includes the abilities to search for a 
     title, print the movie list, and make VCR cassette labels.  
	In addition to the standard movie title search,
     the first movie title beginning with a particular letter
     can be quickly scrolled to, by using the QuickSearch 
     facility.  
	A Print of the movie list makes finding the 
     cassette which contains a particular film, an easy process 
     as long as you store your cassettes in tape number order.
	Each printed cassette label shows the tape number
     large enough to be easily visible, can contain up to 
     Eight titles, and has a bold outline.  
	VCR List comes with a thorough Help system which
     includes a 'Getting Started Tutorial'.

     This program was not designed to impress computer 
     programmers.  Instead great effort was made to make this
     program very easy to understand and use.  
     Those who register will receive support and 
     notice of future upgrades.
