Download MCBase V2.5b - local site link

This archive (MCB25b.ZIP) contains the shareware evaluation version of MCBase:

- MCBase executable (for IBM XT compatibles or better)
- Documentation file
- [Obsoleted] Order form
- License agreement
- Revision history
- GenMCB utility (to create a new and empty database set)
- INSTALL.DOC (an installation guide)
- README.1ST (important remarks on configuring your system for MCBase)
- FILE-ID.DIZ (description file)

Download MCBase V2.x installation utility.

This archive contains an upgrade of INSTALL.EXE as found on your MCBase Master Disk: INSTALL.EXE is a utility that handles the renamed MCBase application archives (in LHA's ".LZH" file format!) and to handle certain situations under Windows95 that could cause a problem. (Win95 doesn't require a "Files=xx" statement nor requires it a Config.sys file. MCBase (as any other DOS/Win3 based program) does have this requirement). When you update (or build) your Master Disks with the other archives found here, you should also replace the old INSTALL.EXE with this updated copy.

Download MCBase V2.5b for AT compatibles.

This archive contains an upgrade of the MCBase executable for use with IBM AT compatibles (or better) with less than 2Mb Ram memory available. To run this version of MCBase, you must have a database set already available (after all: it is meant as an *upgrade* only. The database generation utility GenMCB is included in the shareware archive and on your MCBase Master Disk).

(Note: if you use this file to update (or build) your MCBase Master Disk, you'll need to convert this archive to the .LZH format!).

Download MCBase V2.5b - Protected Mode version.

This archive contains an upgrade of the MCBase executable for use with IBM AT compatibles (or better) with 2Mb Ram memory available, or more. The DOS Protected Mode Interface (DPMI), needed to address this memory from DOS, is included in the archive. To run this version of MCBase, you must have a database set already available (after all: it is meant as an *upgrade* only. The database generation utility GenMCB is included in the shareware archive and on your MCBase Master Disk).

(Note: if you use this file to update (or build) your MCBase Master Disk, you'll need to convert this archive to the .LZH format!).

Extract this page from the archive to the same directory/folder as where the MCBase executable is installed and replace any existing previous copy).

Download MCBase V2.x utilities

This archive contains some utility programs, for use with MCBase. (Some require the presence of your MCBase registration key).

- GenMCB utility (to create a new and empty database set).
- MCBase icon (for use under MS Windows).
- MCBCNVRT database conversion utility (to convert from MCBase V1.x to V2.x).
- MCBACKUP sample set of batch programs, together forming a menu controlled backup procedure to create and maintain a backup of your datafiles (uses the freeware LHA archiver).

(Note: if you use this file to update (or build) your MCBase Master Disk, you'll need to convert this archive to the .LZH format!).

Please note, that this sample backup procedure is provided as-is (please see: Preferred data backup solutions.). Creating a frequent backup is highly recommended, but is the responsability of the user. Backup software is not part of the MCBase product line. For the best possible backup solution, you may want to investigate additional hardware, as a tapestreamer, a ZIP-drive, or a CD-rom burner?
