The purpose of the Video & CD-Archiv
====================================

 The Video & CD-Archiv once was a commercial program, released by
 DATA Becker on the "Goldene Serie" in 1992. Now it found its way back 
 to SHAREWARE. Since DATA Becker doesn`t support the AMIGA anymore,
 i decided to improve the Video & CD-Archiv, in order to release it
 myself on the AMINET. All users of older program versions can
 upgrade to the current release without any problem.

 The Video & CD-Archiv is a database program, which supports MCs
 CDs, Longplayers and Videotapes. You can print sorted lists
 and covers for MCs, CDs and Videotapes.

 Though this program is SHAREWARE, you can use the whole set of
 features, provided by the Video & CD-Archiv, without registration !!!

 I guess this program offers all you ever wanted...have fun !!!


Some advantages
===============
