CLIP-ART WINDOW SHOPPER -- README NOTES
---------------------------------------
The Adonis Corporation is pleased to present our unique
new service, "Clip-Art Window Shopper". As a special
offer to you as a WUGNET member, you have received a free
trial version of "Shopper" ... including the software on
disk, your User's Manual, and a 60-day subscription to our
online service!
WHY USE SHOPPER?
The Adonis Corporation developed Clip-Art Window Shopper to
fill a need that exists right now: to be able to locate and
obtain the proper clip-art for a given need as quickly and
as easily as possible.
The essential element that Shopper delivers is the ability to
select from among many publishers' offerings, and we're
continually expanding the selection! So you can now shop for
images according to your application. For instance, you might
ask, "What kind of medical clip-art is available?"
You can then purchase and download individual images --
a first in the industry! Or, if buying an entire library
matches your needs better, we make it a snap to order and our
prices beat mail order houses.
WHAT DO I GET?
Our full retail product includes 14 "thumbnail" disks
which provide preview images of clip-art. These disks allow
you to shop for clip-art "offline". When you locate the right
image, your modem calls in to place your order.
Except for the length of your subscription (normally one
year) your trial version is identical to the "full" version.
Though we haven't given you the thumbnail disks in this trial
version, you can still preview everything available online
when you Logon.
WHAT'S THE CATCH?
There is none. Your trial version and 60-day subscription
are free -- there is no online charge. Your only cost will
be a long-distance phone call, if applicable.
We see tremendous promise for this service and have found
WUGNET to be a terrific channel for communication of ideas,
which is why we're giving you a glimpse of our new technology!
We think you'll end up being another satisfied customer.
INSTALLATION
On this floppy disk is a convenient INSTALL.EXE program --
you must use it to install Shopper on your hard disk.
COMPLIMENTS & COMPLAINTS
Bringing such a wide variety of clip-art images to you was a
huge undertaking, one of which we are all very proud. Yet
we know there are always things which could be easier to use
or work better, and we are committed to continually improving
the product and service.
This isn't just talk for years down the road -- you will
benefit as soon as improvements are made! When new features
have been added, you'll automatically get the chance to update
your Shopper free-of-charge when you Logon.
We invite you to use your trial version and tell us what you
think! Call us toll-free at 800/234-9497 or fax us at
206/642-9482.
USING CLIP-ART IN YOUR APPLICATIONS
If you are new to the world of clip-art, it is important to
know what kind of graphics your favorite applications can use.
For example, Corel Draw normally loads and saves files in .CDR
format. In addition, using the File Import and File Export
commands, it can load and save files in a variety of other
formats.
Other programs can utilize only certain file formats, e.g.
Microsoft Word for Windows can link only .TIF format images.
Most applications also use the Windows clipboard -- so you
can often use it to put clip-art into your document or
presentation. In the above case of Word for Windows, you
can use Windows PaintBrush to read in a clip-art image in
.PCX format and copy it to the clipboard, and finally paste
it into your Word document.
RENEWING YOUR SUBSCRIPTION
Your trial version of Clip-Art Window Shopper includes a free
subscription for 60 days from your first Logon. We believe
you'll find the service useful enough to order the full version
and make a place for it on your desktop! You can do this using
the NEW USER process after your trial subscription expires, or
just phone us with your order.
Enjoy!
