Installation

2 - Hardware and software requirements
  
  CDProW runs under either MS Windows 3.0 or greater or IBM OS/2 2.0
  or greater.  Version 3.1 of the MS help system is necessary in
  order to view the online help.
  
  The MS Visual Basic runtime module VBRUN300.DLL is required by this
  program.  In order to save on download time, this module is not
  included with CDProW.  However, it is readily available on
  Compuserve along with other online services.  On Compuserve, check
  the WINSHARE forum for the latest copy of VBRUN300.DLL.  On America
  Online, VBRUN300.DLL can be found by doing a software search.
  There is no distribution or registration fee required for this
  module since it is freely distributed by Microsoft for programs
  written in Visual Basic.
  
  CDProW uses approx. 335,000 bytes of disk space for it's initial
  installation.  This includes demo files and documentation.  Add to
  this figure the size of VBRUN300.DLL which is approx. 400,000
  bytes.
  
3 - Installation Steps
  
     1.   Make a directory called CRPROW and unzip all files into this
          directory.  You have obviously already done this otherwise
          you would not be reading this.
     
     2.   If you have not already installed a copy of VBRUN300.DLL in
          your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory, do so now.  For OS/2 users,
          copy this DLL into your \OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM directory.
          CDProW also works with VBRUN300.DLL in your CDPROW directory
          but most users will want to move it to one central location
          to avoid multiple copies of this DLL.
     
     3.   From your Windows program manager, select File, then New to
          setup a new program item.
          Description         CDProW
          Command Line        <drive>:\CDPROW\CDPROW.EXE
          Working Directory   <drive>:\CDPROW
     
     4.   That's all - the installation is complete.
  
  The following files that are included with CDPROW may be moved to
  your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory if you wish.  The only reason to do
  so would be if you have other Visual Basic programs that make use
  of these same files.  If this is the case, then having only one
  copy of these files on your hard disk will save space.
     
     CMDIALOG.VBX
     COMMDLG.DLL
     THREED.VBX
  
4 - Files and their locations
  
  The following list includes all files provided by Perigee Systems
  with CDProW as well as other files that are needed.
     
     File Description                        Directory
     
     CDPROW.EXE     CDProW main program.     CDPROW
     CDPROW.DOC     Documentation            CDPROW
     CDPROW.HLP     Help file                CDPROW
     CMDIALOG.VBX   VB routines              Either
     COMMDLG.DLL    VB routines              Either
     THREED.VBX     VB routines              Either
     DEMO1.DAT      Demo files               CDPROW
     REPORT1.RDF    Sample report definition CDPROW
     REPORT2.RDF    Sample report definition CDPROW
     REPORT3.RDF    Sample report definition CDPROW
     REPORT4.RDF    Sample report definition CDPROW
     DEMO1.IDF      Sample Import/Export def CDPROW
     VBRUN300.DLL   VB runtime               WINDOWS
     
  NOTES:
  
     1.   CDPROW means the directory you used to install CDProW.
     2.   WINDOWS means the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory on a DOS system,
          or the \OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM directory on an OS/2 system.
     3.   EITHER means that these files can reside in either place.
          They are initially installed in the CDPROW directory, but
          can be moved to the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory if you wish.
  

5 - Release Highlights
     
  Release 1.4.0 contains the following enhancements and corrections.
  All of the enhancements were a direct result of your suggestions so
  keep those suggestions coming!
  
     1.   Corrected a problem with the number of tracks being zeroed out when
          you add a new record.  This forced reentry of this number before you could
          enter track titles.
     2.   Made the default category list optional.  By turning off default
          categories, the category list will be built from the list of categories
          that are actually in use within your file.
     3.   Added a new search type (Text / Begin) which will only match the start
          of a field.  Useful if you want to only print a section of your file.
     4.   Added 3 new sort sequences.  1) Artist / Release Year, 2) Category /
          Title, 3) Category / Artist.  These are in addition to 4) Title and 5)
          Artist / Title that were already supported.
     5.   The registration number is now shown in the about box.
     6.   The program now starts quicker if you have registered - the initial
          delay in the about box is shorter.
     7.   The size of track titles has been increased from 40 to 60 positions.
     8.   Added an option to automatically open the last file loaded when you
          start the program.
     9.   Removed the "Are you sure?" confirmation from the program exit.
  
  
  Release 1.3.0 highlights:
     1.   Added Import and Export capabilities
     2.   Added right mouse support for popup menus
     3.   Changed Release Date to Release Year.  This field now only accepts a
          year value.
     4.   Added the ability to print track titles on custom reports	
     5.   Added Open/Save buttons on the report designer window
     6.   Moved the Number of Disks, Number of Tracks and Total Time fields to
          the main Recording Entry window.  Moved the misc key fields to the
          Additional Info window.
     7.   Added a View Previous button to the Recording Entry window.
     8.   Corrected problems with international date formats
     9.   Improved overall display performance
     10.  Create help file using 3.1 help compiler.  Version 3.1 of help is now
          required to view online help.
