ReadMe: 04 Feb 87 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following programs should be included: EDLP The EDLP program EDLP.info The EDLP icon EDLP_List A sample EDLP data file EDLP_List.info Icon for the data file EDLP.manual The EDLP instruction manual TCWD The TCWD program TCWD.info The TCWD icon TCWD.data A sample TCWD data file TCWD.manual The TCWD instruction manual TCCT The TCCT program TCCT.info The TCCT icon TCCT_Data A sample TCCT data file TCCT.manual The TCCT instruction manual ReadMe What you are looking at now ExecuteMe Execute this to rename the EDLP data file icon Description A brief description of all this BCS.Catalog A very brief catalog of professional video products BCS.PR A press release from BCS "EDLP_List.info" is too long of a file name for ARC, so I shortened it to "EDLP_List.i". Just type EXECUTE EXECUTEME from the CLI prompt to rename it correctly. You can then DELETE EXECUTEME, as well as the ".arc" file to save disk space. All of the demos will work on either Workbench 1.1 or 1.2. EDLP, TCWD and TCCT are all demo programs, and are crippled in various ways. EDLP does not allow you to Save or Xfer data. If you attempt it, you will be advised that the function does not operate. In addition, you can not scroll past event number 29. If you do, you will get another message, and the cursor will jump back to event number one. Finally, after about 800 keystrokes, the EDLP will reset, which erases all of your work. Sorry about that, but the program is extremely useful, and I would much rather you pay for it! TCWD resets after no more than three minutes. It will read time code only with the BCS Time Code Reader Interface, which you probably do not have. The demo is entertaining nonetheless. TCCT only records 18 errors, and also resets after about three minutes. TCCT is only entertaining with the reader interface, but at least you can get an idea of what it is supposed to do. All three programs were written completely in assembly language, so they are very fast and very protected. The commercial versions are of course in no way copy-protected (except by copyright laws and basic morality). The complete instruction manual for each is included. The instruction manuals can be read using a text processor, but were designed to be printed directly to your printer. You can type COPY EDLP.MANUAL TO PRT: to obtain a printout. Because I don't know what kind of printer you have, I had to strip off all of the boldface, underlining, superscript, etc., which makes the instruction manual somewhat less readable. If you want the latest demo and printed manual, send me $20. Feel free to send me $20 even if you don't. Shipping date for the commercial version is Any Day Now. Contact Jeff Bruette at Prism (818) 906-9977 for ordering information. Dealer inquiries are invited. If you have any technical questions, or comments and suggestions concerning these programs, please contact me on CompuServe [73267,3361], call me (818) 362-6031, or write me at Mike Berro c/o Prism Computer Graphics 14755 Ventura Blvd. Suite #1-600, Sherman Oaks, CA 91403. At some time in the near future I will be opening up a free BBS for questions, comments, announcements and updates. Let me know if you wish to be advised of its commencement.
