Introduction and the idea behind Persia
---------------------------------------
Persia is a multimedia title containing information
about Persia (The ancient name for Iran). This package
uses an excellent user interface to access to video clips,
music clips and pictures explaining the past and the
present of Persia.
The main idea behind Persia is providing an easy and
descriptive way to take a trip to Persia without spending
too much time and money, and without difficulties. The
trip can be for exploring the unknown beauties of a
foreign country for non-Persian users, or a trip to the
home country, to renew the nice memories of the past, for
the Persian user living abroad.
Although Persia was designed to be an entertainment
multimedia title, it contains descriptive information
about the sights, sounds and habits of Persia and Persian
people, and may be used as an informative reference about
Persia.

Useful tips
-----------
The user-friendly interface of Persia is designed to
have the proper interaction with the user. However there
are tips to help you control the program in a better way.
* To find a certain item in the list, type the first
letter of the item title. The selection bar will
move to the first item in the list beginning with
the typed letter.
* By using the 'Select by type' and 'Select by
subject' buttons the desired item can be found
easier.
* Use the "Persia self running demo" icon in the
Program Manager, and lean back to enjoy the
automatic show. Pictures, music clips and video
clips will be displayed in the full screen mode in
a random order.
* For a demonstration in a sequential order (instead
of the default random order) run Persia with the
/DEMO=SEQ command line parameter.
* You may change the autoplay delay using the
"ctrl+gray plus" and "ctrl+gray minus" keys, from 2
seconds to 60 seconds.
The default delay is 4 seconds.
* To reduce the loading time, PERSIA.EXE can be
copied from the CD to the hard drive. As the data
for pictures, sounds and videos can not be copied
to the hard drive, the following command format can
be used to run the program on hard drive:
[<path>]PERSIA <CD drive name>:
* Sound effects can be disabled by running the setup
program again, and selecting the proper setting,
when prompted for sound effects. This will not
affect the introduction music played on the
program logo.
Clicking on the logo, will stop the introduction
music and the main screen will be displayed.
