1. WHAT IS CATRAXX?
----------------------------------------
CATraxx is a powerful 32-bit Windows application designed to
help you catalog and manage your music collection. Using CATraxx
you can quickly catalog CDs by downloading disc data from the
Internet CDDB database. CATraxx is easy-to-use for the amateur,
with sophisticated features for the professional.
CATraxx has a comprehensive set of fields for both albums and
tracks, enabling you to catalog information like artist, album
title, format (CDs, vinyl records, cassettes, videos etc.),
release year, label, catalog number, purchase price, current
value, music category, status (own, want, for sale etc.),
condition, playing time, song titles, songwriters, producers,
recording studios, musicians and instruments. You can store
an image of the album cover and add your own personal comments
for both albums and tracks.
You can work with an unlimited number of databases. This
means you can split your collection into different catalogs
and organize it to meet your needs. CATraxx allows you to
change the name of all data fields. For example, you might want
to rename Artist to Performer, Songwriter to Composer or Format
to Media. You can hide the fields you don't want to use. These
fields will disappear from all windows, menus, lists etc. This
way you can customize the database to suit your needs.
You can effectively search the database for information that
you require. Search in all fields with any combination of
fields and operators. In addition, CATraxx lets you cross
reference up to five fields. This is an extremely flexible
way to search and query data.
The report designer lets you create almost any type of report.
Use one of the pre-defined reports, or create your own from
scratch. You have full control over data fields, groups, sort
order, columns, fonts, colors, paper size, margins and print
orientation. CATraxx lets you preview reports on screen before
printing. Using CATraxx you can easily create professionally
looking reports with exactly the layout you want.
With the HTML Generator you can quickly generate documents to
be published on the World Wide Web. The loan module lets you
keep track of albums on loan. Check the program periodically
to see what is still out on loan. You will always know who has
what and since when.
The statistics function allows you to analyze your collection
in a variety of ways. CATraxx lets you track both initial
investment and the value of your collection. Use the backup
function to make backup copies of your valuable data. With
the built-in CD controller you can control the playback of
audio CDs in your CD-ROM player.
CATraxx uses popup menus for quick feature access and
navigation. CATraxx comes with a sample database to get you
started and a comprehensive context sensitive on-line help
system.

2. FEE FOR DISTRIBUTION OF SHAREWARE VERSION
----------------------------------------------------
Disk Vendors, Shareware Distributors and BBS(s) may have
charged a nominal fee for the distribution of the shareware
version of CATraxx. This fee does not constitute payment for
the licensed version of CATraxx, and does not entitle the
end-user to use the shareware version for longer than the
