RELEASE NOTES: VideoMaxe 04.20 © Stephan Sürken, SHAREWARE.
               Major update from 04.12.
               Many bugs and odds removed, various new features.
               Complete documentation (english, text & guide),
               comfortable multiple use installer script,
               finer icons.

STORY: I now that many video organizers are already existent.
       Among these, I did not find one that would satisfy all features
       I wanted nor have the environment I demanded.

       Starting programming in 1989, releasing a first version openly
       in 1990 (02.11), this program has developed to a tool even
       I am quite satisfied with.

       Sure, nothing new, but its ultimate solution:

       VideoMaxe, THE, no: _THE_ video database program!

FEATURES:

  (only some features that just come to my mind...)

  Environment:

  Concepts:

    preferences
  o Ultimate answer to the questions:
    o Where to record a new title?
    o How to spool to title x (counter, rest time, used time...)?
    o If I have a video recorder without rest or used time display,
      how can I get exact counter position?
    o How to express different compression modes (i.e. long play)?
  o A freely editable mask entry list for each tape and title; that
    means that you can carry as much additionally information as you
    wish per tape or title. Provides a mask concept to handle that
    (save, load masks etc.).
  o Title length are given in minutes AND seconds to be able to cover
    rather short titles (e.g. music).
  o Comfortable search routines
  o Printing
