VIDEOWARE -- The Rules
======================
This Program is Videoware. Let me explain:
I'm looking for someone willing to tape "Married... With Children" (mostly seasons 1-5)
and/or "The Simpsons" for me. Subtitles are OK but it _has_ to be the original soundtrack
(no dubbed versions!). I'll pay the tapes as well as p&p so the only thing it'll cost you
is a little of your time. If nobody agrees to do this for me within 3 months (that'll be
june 97) the status of this program will change to Shareware. Otherwise this program may
be regarded as Freeware, i.e. it may be copied freely as long as it's not sold for profit
and no part of it is changed. An announcement will be made on the comp.sys.acorn* groups
re. what it's gonna be.
You should:
- own a decent VCR; ideally HiFi but that's not compulsory. It definitely shouldn't be
prone to eat tapes or produce lots of dropouts.
- be able to tape the shows regularily. A missing show every now and then is no big
problem but the percentage of missing shows should be smallish.
Ideally you could also
- get my home brand video cassettes (Fuji SHG240).
- cut out commercials during recorings.
but those aren't major points.
Writing Software takes up a lot of time. Maybe you could spare some of yours for me.
Don't rely on "someone else'll do it", if you could do it just contact me, please
(preferably via email).
OK, one (two) person(s) doing something so the rest can use this program for free may
not be entirely fair but making everyone send me a tape would be completely useless to
me since I'd only end up with lots of identical episodes. And I really want those shows,
I'm sick and tired of the dubbed versions.
Besides there have to be some people out there watching these shows anyway. What's the
big deal in pressing the record button?
DISCLAIMER:
-----------
The author will not be held responsible for any kind of damage resulting from using
this program. I do exhaustive debugging with all my software so serious errors are
unlikely but if you use this program it's entirely at your own risk.
If you do find any bugs please report them so future versions may be improved.

"What do you see in the center of the public eye
Rock stars on smack, and a serial killer fries
Radicals blame suicide and murder on our form or art
Brainwash the youth, you know they claim we all play a part
What a shame that they can't think for themselves."
