What is Data Master?
--------------------
Data Master is a database program programmed for Amiga computers.
It's not the best database program for Amiga (the best ShareWare/
LicenseWare database program??), but it's cheap and specially made for
an average user.
In the program there are five different field types which are
string (text), integer, floating point, type (selection) and boolean
field types. In one record it can be up to 256 different fields and
the number of records is practically limited only by the size of the
free memory. Records can be sorted based on eight key fields.
You can search from the database those records which match the
search patterns given by the user (for example, all the records whose
first field's first letter is A). You can also search for text strings
from the whole database. Using Data Master it's possible to print the
database for printer or save it as an ASCII file to the disk. Number
fields can be displayed on the screen as graphic diagrams, and using
this function you can simply compare records. There is a separate
field editor for the creating of the fields. Records can be, of
course, moved, copied, deleted or cleared as a single record or as
a block which includes many records.
The Copyright
-------------
There are two versions of the Data Master program; these are the
registered version, which is LicenseWare, and the demo version, which
is FreeWare. The rules of the registration and the copyright are in
the following text.
1. The Data Master program and all the files distributed with it are
copyrighted, and the owner of these copyrights is the author of the
program. The author reserves the right to change the code of the
program, any file with it, the rules of the registration and the
copyright, and the registration fee without any public notice.
2. You are not allowed to copy and spread the registered version of
the Data Master. The only exception for this is the right to make
back-up copies. However, no one else but the registered user is
allowed to use the registered version or the back-up copy of it.
The registered user loses the right to use the program if he does
not observe these rules.
3. It's allowed to copy and spread the DEMO version of the program,
which is a FreeWare program, if the following conditions are met:
A. No profit is made ( nominal charges for copy media are only
permitted, maximum charge about DM 7)
B. All the files which were released with the program are
following it
C. All the files stay unchanged
4. You are not permitted to change or modify the Data Master
program, both the demo and the registered version, or any file
released with the original program. All the files with the original
program must follow it.
5. The author warrents the diskette which the author has sent to the
registered user for 3 months from the date when the program has
been sent by mail. If there are any defects on the diskette, the
user has to send it to the author in a one week from the date when
the defects were found, and then the user gets a new diskette from
the author.
6. The program and the files are provided 'as is' without warranty
of any kind, excluding the diskette warranty. Use of this program
is at your own risk and discretion.
The registration
----------------
The registered version of the Data Master contains like the demo
version, for example, a full manual, some example databases and this
file. There is also the Mines game in the registered version.
There are two ways, how you can order the registered version:
1. Send DM 35 or GBP (£) 15 in cash by mail with the filled Order Form
(see the file OrderForm) or with a order where there are
corresponding information. This way is easy, but not recommended,
because you can't be absolutely sure how safe it really is.
2. Pay DM 48 (=35+13) or GBP 20 (=15+5) using the Foreign Payment
Order. The extra payment is added, because my own bank takes a
payment from me when I get the money to my account. Send the Order
Form (see the file OrderForm) and the copy of the Foreign Payment
Order Form by mail to the author. You have to fill the Foreign
Payment Order Form in your own bank and also your bank takes a
payment for doing this. Use the following information, when filling
the Foreign Payment Order Form.

Ohjelman rekisteröinti Suomessa
--------------------------------
Tällä hetkellä rekisteröintimaksu on Suomessa 90 (yhdeksänkymmen-
tä) Suomen markkaa.
Maksu voidaan suorittaa Suomessa seuraavassa esitetyin tavoin:
1. Lähettämällä edellä mainittu summa käteisenä tekijälle postitse
omien henkilö- ja osoitetietojen mukana.
2. Maksamalla se Kansallis-Osake-Pankin tilille 103650-84710, ja lä-
hettämällä pankkisiirtokuitti tai sen kopio ohjelman tekijälle. Te-
kijä ei vastaa mahdollisesti väärälle tilille suoritetusta maksus-
ta aiheutuneista vahingoista.
SUOSITELTAVA TAPA:
3. Tilaamalla ohjelma tekijältä kirjallisesti lähettämättä rahaa tai
pankkisiirtokuittia, jolloin toimitus tapahtuu postiennakolla ja
rekisteröintimaksuun lisätään (ainoastaan) postituskulut.
Jos mahdollista, käytä rekisteröinnissä OrderForm-tiedoston tu-
lostetta tai vastaavat tiedot sisältävää vapaamuotoista tilauspyyn-
töä.
Rekisteröity versio sisältää demoversion lailla itse ohjelman li-
säksi mm. manuaalin (joka Suomeen lähetetyissä ohjelmissa on täydel-
lisenä sekä englanniksi että suomeksi), esimerkkitiedostoja sekä tämän
tiedoston. Rekisreröityyn versioon sisältyy kuitenkin lisäksi esim.
Mines-peli. Kannattaa myös muistaa, että rekisteröity versio on usein
uudempi kuin demoversio, koska ohjelman kehittäminen jatkuu edelleen
käyttäjien antaman palautteen perusteella.
