A U D I O I I I
Version 1.1
S h a r e w a r e
Copyright (c) 1989 by Rod Whisnant
Version Date: April 20, 1988
Preface
-------
AUDIO III version 1.1 is primarily a program designed to
print audio cassette inserts on an IBM PC/XT/AT PS/2 or
compatible computer using a dot matrix or laser printer. It was
designed to eliminate the tedious process of writing on the
cassette inserts supplied by the manufacturers of blank
cassettes. AUDIO III prints a visually appealing insert to make
it easy for the user to locate cassettes.
AUDIO III is a Shareware program. This means that program
distribution depends on people sharing software. People who
"use" the program are encouraged to make a donation to the
author. Whether you keep this program or not, I encourage you to
copy and share this program with others.
If you try AUDIO III and find it useful to you, please
support the development of the package by sending your contribu-
tion. I suggest $20.00 but you can decide what it is worth to
you. I don't believe $20.00 is too much to ask for a program of
this type. It's hard to find a good commercial program for
$20.00. Contributors will receive benefits including notice of
upgrades and fixes.
I thank you your support, and would appreciate any comments,
suggestions and contributions. Send all correspondence to the
following address:

I offer this program as is, with no warranty. I guarantee
no compatibility with your system and will not be responsible for
damages resulting for the use or inability to use this program.

Introduction
------------
I started designing AUDIO III because I was tired of writing
cassette inserts every time I made a tape. And with my
handwriting, most of the time, the inserts were unreadable or
simply didn't look appealing. Typing the inserts was a pos-
sibility but, why should I type them when I have a $5000.00
machine sitting on my desk that could do the same thing, only
better. AUDIO III has been about 2 years in development and is
written in Turbo Pascal with some assembly language routines.
This version has undergone extensive testing but may not be "bug-
free". If you have a problem please don't hesitate to write.
Requirements
------------
An IBM PC/XT/AT PS/2 or compatible using DOS 2.0 or above,
at least one 360K disk drive or a hard disk, and a dot matrix
printer and only uses approximately 64K of RAM. AUDIO III will
work with CGA, EGA, VGA color or composite monitors as well as
monochrome and LCD laptop displays.
