1994 Double Award Winner!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Best Home/Hobby" Shareware Product, Shareware Industry Association
"Best Home and Hobby" Shareware, PC Magazine -- ZiffNet Interactive


Hardware Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PC Plus Magazine called our graphics interface "stunning" because of the
3-D buttons, and graphic menus. The graphics interface, MOVIES.EXE, requires
561K of free conventional memory, a VGA monitor, and a 386 or faster computer.

The text interface, TEXT.EXE, will work on virtually any IBM compatible PC
with 256K or more of RAM and enough disk space for the files.  The registered
version currently requires about 5 megabytes of hard disk space.  Mouse and
sound cards are supported, but not required.


Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The vast majority of our users run MOVIES TO GO! from Windows, even though
it is a DOS product.  To run it run the file SETUP.EXE from your Program
Manager, File Manager, or Windows Explorer.  The installation program will
install icons for you.


Evaluation Version
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This evaluation version of MOVIES TO GO! has information on 539 movies
so you can "try" the software before you "buy" the full version.  On
September 1, 1996 the registered version had over 13,300 titles, to which we
add 200 to 300 each month.  The 539 movies in this shareware version were
selected as representative of the full, registered version and were chosen as
follows:

    Number      Category             Reason We Chose These Films
    ~~~~~~      ~~~~~~~~             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     209     1992 Films              Recent, but not too much so
     155     1939 Films              We have older, classic titles too!
     108     John Wayne Films        Our software is complete!
      57     Charlton Heston Films   Referenced in the Tutorial
      16     "Pirate Movies"         Referenced in the Tutorial

Of the above 539 films, 257 are listed as "Good," 241 are categorized as
"Average," and 24 are listed as "Poor." The remaining few have no review
because none of our staff has seen the film, we have insufficient information
on it, or, in some cases, the film hasn't been released yet.  As you can see,
we spend more resources researching watchable films rather than wasting time
and your precious hard disk space with the "losers."


Powerful Search Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MOVIES TO GO! will help you find a film or video that you will enjoy.  Search
for a movie in your favorite category (comedy, drama, sports, family, etc.),
your favorite actor, director, or a combination of all the above.  For
example, suppose you are an avid John Wayne fan and would like to watch a
good, war, drama starring John Wayne.  Search for "John Wayne,", "Drama,"
"War," and "Good," to list the following films:

   HORSE SOLDIERS, THE
   LONGEST DAY, THE
   SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON
   THEY WERE EXPENDABLE

One of the ways to find an enjoyable video to rent is to combine a Category
Search with a Keyword Search for the words "Top 10."  For example, search for
"Comedy," and "Top 10" in this evaluation version of MOVIES TO GO! to list the
following 7 films which were one of the top 10 in box office gross in at
least one year:

    BABES IN ARMS
    HATARI!
    HOME ALONE 2 -- LOST IN NEW YORK
    LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN, A
    MCLINTOCK!
    SISTER ACT
    WAYNE'S WORLD

As far as we know, you can't do either of the above two search with any other
software product!

Movie buffs should do a Keyword Search for the word "Trivia."  This shareware
copy lists 33 films with interesting bits of trivia, and the full, registered
version lists hundreds more!  Needless to say, with the ability to search by
category, actor, director, MPAA rating, key words, year, setting, main
characters, possible objectionable content, trivia, authors, music, and box
office gross, you have endless possibilities with MOVIES TO GO!


Video Cataloging System
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The graphics version of MOVIES TO GO! allows you to attach a 20 character
personal note to each movie.  Many people find this feature gives them the
easiest, most convenient video cataloging program available anywhere.
