Readme for MusicManIII V3.00 Beta2 (c)1991-1996 Andreas Mair
************************************************************

This is only a BETA release of MusicManIII.
Currently there is only unformated (pre-released) documentation
and no online help available.
Only german and english program (via locale.library) and
documentation available. If anyone wants to build catalogs
for not included languages please contact me to get more infor-
mation about this. Note: Everyone translating the catalog AND
documentation to an unincluded language get registration for FREE!
Not all requesters are implemented yet:
  - Project/Create MC
  - Project/Export
  - Project/Import
  - Record/Copy
  - Record/CD player (is under development)
  - File/Create/#?
  - File/Save/#?
  - File/Manager (a little bit)
  - Macros/#?
All other functions are FULLY operable!

This beta release lacks an installer too.


The final release of MMIII V3.00 will include:
  - documentation (maybe only a printed edition which
    you may order while registering?)
  - online help in english and german
  - installer script in english and german
  - less bugs (are there any?)
  - more features (ARexx-Port etc.)

************************************************************

MusicManIII V3.00 is SHAREWARE. So what you got here is only
a limited DEMO. If you want to know what limitations there
are you'd better start MusicManIII and select "Project/About/
Distribution" because it depends on the installed key-file.
If you want to register yourself as an user of MMIII I ask
you to wait until the final 3.00 release is available (I
suggest you use the time in between to check if it satisfies
your needs). Prices etc. will be available by then.

Some notes on usage
===================
(you'd better read full docu for detailed information)

  I think (and hope) that mostly MusicManIII is self-explai-
  ning. The only important thing is that if you want to add
  a new record by selecting "Record/Create" you have to take
  care of following things:
    After selecting this item the "Interpreter:" entryfield
    is active. Press TAB or CursorDown to jump to the next
    entryfield. Or press Shift+TAB or CursorUp to jump to
    the previous entryfield. When you've you data in the
    entryfields press RETURN (or ESC is you want to lose
    changes made to the current entryfield) to switch to the
    songs entryfields (the big ListView-Gadget). Here you
    are able to add songs if you press TAB to get to the
    next song line. Press RETURN to leave the current song
    line and to NOT add songs anymore. Leaving a song line
    means that you edited the song, the length and the bpm
    (this depends on you prefs because you can disable
    entering of length and bpm).
    Please note that songs will always be added if you leave
    the last song line with the TAB-key!

  Btw: the songs ListView-Gadget contains 5 columns (left to
  right):
    - Number
      The number of the songs. Holds colour for marking too.
    - Song name
    - Song length
      or Counter in MC mode, depending on your prefs.
    - BPM (Beats per minute)
    - Special field
      anything you want. Not supported yet!!!

I hope you like MusicManIII V3.00 and you give me some feedback
because one can only say it's rubbish if (s)he told the
author what (s)he disliked and the author didn't care for that.
