                         Attention Major CD Users!

                          CD Express For Major CD

 CD Express is a utility that will create Login Script, Btrieve, Menu and
 ALLFILES files for your Major CD system! This simple to use program
 extracts information from CD's that other products simply would
 eliminate or crash while attempting to import. Unlike other products, CD
 Express physically reads your CDROM and extracts the file date and size
 for you. This eliminates the problem of incorrect file dates or sizes
 that are listed with commas and other formatting characters or having to
 merge DIR listings into descriptor files that don't include the file
 sizes. CD Express also deals with ALL types of descriptor files
 (FILES.BBS, DIR0n.TXT or equivalent)! CD Express will (optionally)
 directly generate the Btrieve files so you can skip generating script
 files for importing to .PAT and .FIL files, if you wish! Menus files
 (.ASC, .ANS, .IBM, .RIP), using modifiable templates, are automatically
 generated for you! CD Express optionally builds a master file listing
 for each disc, sorted by the Major CD Library structure. THIS FILE
 INCLUDES THE FULL MULTI-LINE DESCRIPTION TEXT from the descriptor file!
 Your users may then download this file for later text searching and
 tagging.


                             FEATURES

*  Unlimited nested subdirectories up to 35 levels deep!

* 'Auto Scan' feature will intelligently search for all descriptor
   files and 'connect' them to the appropriate directories. Descriptor
   files may even be in random directories throughout the disk!

* Includes a ruler that allows you to 'design' your descriptor files
  (FILES.BBS or equivalent) for stubborn importing types!

* One Pass generation of files. Just type in the drive letter of the
  CDROM and tell CD Express what you want to generate. Minutes later,
  you will have:

  .SCP     = The script file for CD-LOGIN (no longer necessary!)
  .FIL/PAT = The Btrieve Files for Major CD
  .ASC     = The Ascii Menu File
  .ANS     = The Ansi Menu File
  .IBM     = The IBM Menu File
  .RIP     = The RIP Menu File
  .ALL     = A master file listing sorted by the Major CD Library structure.
             THIS FILE INCLUDES THE FULL MULTI-LINE DESCRIPTION TEXT! Your
             users may then download this file for later text searching and
             tagging.

 * Descriptor files (FILES.BBS or equivalent) may be of ANY type. It doesn't
 matter what the file name is or the format as long as there is some sort of
 description in the file that is at the same column offset in each file. It
 will even accurately read the information of the descriptor files if they
 have different headers at the top of the file!

* Optionally insert the physical file date into the description.

* Visually 'merge' directories/libraries with a single keystroke.

* Move the order of directories around on the disk.

 REQUIREMENTS: CD Express needs an IBM compatible computer with 420k of free
 conventional memory, a hard drive with 700k for CD Express files (the
 size of output files will vary, depending on the CDs) and a CDROM drive.
 That's it!

 We have tested CD Express on several double-speed drives and importing a CD
 with 5500 files took anywhere from 3 - 6 minutes. On our quad speed drive,
 we created all of the files including the btrieve (.FIL and .PAT) on this
 CD in 2 minutes! NOTE: CD Express has a library limit of 255. This *should*
 never be a problem considering most CD's have fewer than 100
 libraries/directories.

                   CD Express requires DOS 5.0 or greater
     The MajorCD is a registered product of Mountain Rose Multi-Media.
