The PsL Clip Art Collection
   Compilation Copyright 1991 PsL
   $0
The disks in the table below contain clip art in Encapsulated PostScript
format, in PCX format, in WordPerfect 5.0 format, and in Corel Draw format.
The clip art on disks 1709+ and 1823+ are still available, but are generally
of a much lower quality or lower resolution. If you are not using a laser
printer, you may still find those files to be quite acceptable.

The EPS format results in the highest quality pictures. They require a
PostScript printer or a program (such as GoScript) that will print PostScript
files on non-PostScript printers. PostScript files may be imported into major
desktop publishing programs such as Ventura.

The PCX files are stored in full-page 300 dpi resolution. PCX art files can be
imported into virtually all desktop publishing and graphics programs. In
bit-mapped graphics such as the PCX format, loss of resolution occurs when
small images are enlarged. By starting with full-page size, you can scale down
the images to smaller sizes with little or no loss in resolution. While there
are many disks of PCX files available, only a minority of them are
high-quality, high-resolution, general-purpose art work.

NOTICE: Users of Publish It! should be aware that PI! is not able to import
many of these PCX files. This is a known limitation of PI! and one which
Timeworks expects to correct in their next release. An alternative is that
Timeworks sells a graphics file conversion utility for about $15.

The WP5 files are ready for loading directly into WordPerfect version 5.0 and
later. The CDR files are necessary for Corel Draw users because Corel cannot
read the very same EPS files that it has exported. (Corel was used to create
or clean up many of the EPS files.)

You may choose any four disks for $6.99 on 360k 5.25" disks, $9.99 on 3.5" disks
