Jack & the Beanstalk -a narrated story/coloring book for Windows -hardware requirements: 640x480x256 video or better, sound card produced by Tellitagan Children's Stories Software for Children http://www.tellitagan.com Tellitagan stories are shareware and freely distributable in unaltered form. Each story has 30-35 pages with 1-3 captions per page. .WAV narration files are linked to the captions. Each page has a black and white line drawing. Clicking on the "color" button will bring up a 240-color paint program for coloring the b&w picture. When finished, the colored version is saved, replacing the b&w version. The colored picture will be used in place of the b&w picture in all future tellings of the story. Saving can be disabled. Installation Guide After downloading one of the story .EXE files, move it into a new directory on a drive with about 15Mb available (the story will only use about half that much after installation). The downloaded file has all of the story components in a compressed form to speed up downloading. When you Run the downloaded .EXE (from Program Manager or the Start Bar), it will restore all of the story files automatically. Note that there will be TWO .EXE files in the new directory after you run the downloaded file. One is the download file (nnnDOWN.EXE), while the other is the story file (nnnSTORY.EXE). The nnnDOWN.EXE can be deleted to free up disk space. The story .EXE can now be run from Program Manager or the Start bar. To install the story on your desktop, you need to make a new program item (and a new group, if you choose). Icons for the desktop are included. That can be done from Program Manager in Windows3.x or the Start Bar in Win95. If you have trouble, please let me know. I will try to help...but computer systems are so different - each has a unique set of problems. You can reach me at 800-571-8927. If you get an answering machine, please leave a message and I will return your call as soon as I can. Another way to reach me is by e-mail at jomo@io.com. A final note: I have many, many hours invested in the production of these stories. I hope that you like them, and that you will pay me the price I am asking for them (US$8). The ABOUT screen has information for registering. Thanks. - Jack Otis Moore 1200 S. 5th St. Austin TX 78704 800-571-8927 jomo@io.com
