           Movies v1.01  1998 VK Soft (Ben Vaisvil & Eric Keef)
               
               NOTE: This has not been tested on a GeoFox-One, I would like to hear if it worked.
               Movies was compiled by Richard Tate and Ben Vaisvil.
               Movies was programmed by Ben Vaisvil with help by Richard Betts.
               
            I. TO INSTALL:
               First you must unzip it. You can use Winzip, Psizip, or Navigator to unzip it.
               Second, make sure that you have the system folder showing.
               If you don't go to the system screen and press -menu-.
               Go over to the -tools- tab and go to -preferences....-. Then
               check 'Show System Folder'
               Make sure the install.opo is not in the \movies folder and tap on it: it will guide you through the installation process.
               Now it should appear on the extras menu.
               
            II. Movies
               When you start movies you'll be greeted by the copyright and the splash
               screen. This is some online help...but I'll go through all the menu options here.
               
            Movies
                 >		Launch - Launches the Movies Database

                 is off.
               	if you have the sound turned off on the control panel and the program sound
               	turned on Movies will not start. If you don't want to turn the sound in the control
               	panel back on... delete the movies.ini file to restore defaults.)
                 >		AutoRun - AutoRun on/off (AutoRun automatically runs the database 
                 when you
               	start up the app...app still opens you just go directly to the database instead of the 	app default is off.)

               9.4.98
                 	 at this moment the program is in the initial beta (controlled group) 
                 testing
                current bugs
                   - no shortcuts for the keys implemented yet
                   - doesn't shut down from the tasklist
                   - if the Psion's sound is turned off and the programs sound is turned on it will not 			start.
                     (you can get around this by deleting the movies.ini file...but I hope to find a better solution.)
                 	 Planned Features for future releases (v1.1 and above)
                   - frequent updates to the database (once every two weeks, once a month....don't know yet)
                   - Option for the program to time out and switch off while autorun is enabled.
                   - Embedded sounds and pics from movies (Could use help finding some....)
                   - Better looking startup screen ( the conversion to 16 colors made it grainy)
                   - Search by rating
                   - Toolbar (or rather Jason Kneen's coolbar)
               
            IV. Credits
