        Out of the Garden - version 1.01

        Copyright ⌐ 1994 Ocean View Software

Program Description:

    Out of the Garden is a Windows 3.1 Screen Saver that
    produces selected plant images at random on a graded
    color background. Several types of plant images, color
    schemes, and backgrounds are available. The number of
    plants shown may be set by the User. A delay has been
    incorporated at the end of a drawing set to allow the
    user to admire the beauty of the plants, if desired.


Platform Requirements:

    Version 1.01 of Out of the Garden is a maintenance
    release. It requires Windows 3.1 (Win16) or later and
    can be used on i386 or i486 systems without a math
    coprocessor.

    This version of Out of the Garden requires a 256
    color (8 bit) or greater display adaptor mode. It will
    not work in a display mode with fewer colors.


Installation:

    Out of the Garden comes in compressed format; unzip
    the file with PKUNZIP version 2.04g or later, with
    XTree for Windows version 2.0 or later, or with
    XTreeGold for DOS version 3.0 or later. XTree for
    Windows was used to compress the file. If you are
    using PKUNZIP, use the -d parameter to preserve the
    directory structure.

    Copy the SSPLNT16.SCR and SSPLANTS.HLP files in the
    \Win16 directory to your Windows files directory if
    you will be using the Win16 version; the default
    Windows 3.1 installation names this directory
    (drive):\WINDOWS. If you will be using the Win32
    version, copy SSPLNT32.SCR and SSPLANTS.HLP to the
    Windows NT System directory; this is
    (drive):\WINNT\SYSTEM32 for the default installation.
    The two help files are identical.

    To activate either version, run the Windows Control
    Panel application and open the Desktop applet. Using
    the drop down box associated with the "Name:" label in
    the "Screen Saver" section, select "Out of the Garden".
    You can then click on the "Setup" button to change the
    values of the parameters or accept the default values.
    Online help is available from the Configuation dialog
    box by clicking the "Help" button.

    You can click the "Test" button to test the current
    settings. You must close the Desktop applet with the
    OK button to activate the screen saver.


Payment:
    Remember that this program is shareware. If you use and
    enjoy this program as much as others have, please send
    $10.00 with your name and address to

        Ocean View Software
        904 Silver Spur Rd., Suite 362
        Rolling Hills Estates, CA 90274

    Problem reports can be sent to the same address or posted
    on CompuServe to Carl Thomas, 71203,2226 or on Internet
    to 71203,[e-mail]). Out of the Garden is also
    listed in the CompuServe Software Registration forum (GO SWREG)
    under ID 1900, so you can alternatively register there.

    In return for registering your copy (and paying the fee),
    you will receive a copy of the next version free. We expect
    to continue evolving this product since we obviously like
    the concept. That depends, of course, on market response
    (YOU) in terms of paid registration. We believe in the
    innate honesty of the shareware approach and, therefore,
    did not put any annoying messages in the program itself.
    Nor is the program disabled in any way, in need of some
    special key, or built with a limited operational life. We
    know from experience how much of a turn-off such nagging
    reminders and such can be, so don't forget us.

    You are encouraged to share this program with others,
    provided that it either remains in its orginal zipped
    form or that all five files remain together and that
    you identify it as shareware.

    If you have any suggestions for improving the product,
    please send or post them to the above addresses. If your
    suggestion is incorporated, you will receive that version
    free as well.
