In order to assist the reader, the older Windows 3.x  instructions have been
left intact.  Windows 95 instructions, where different, are either given
their own sentences or are indicated by the use of parentheses.

This is the only time this README.TXT file will appear automatically. In the
future you can read the file by coming back to your Windows 3.x Notepad,
located under Accessories in your Program Manager menu, and opening the
README.TXT file found in the NPD1SHAR directory, or by two clicks on the
filename directly from within File Manager.  In Windows 95 the Notepad is
reached from the Start button followed by Programs\Accessories\Notepad.
You may also read the file from your C:\> DOS prompt by typing
TYPE C:\NPD1SHAR\README.TXT | MORE.  You may exit this file at any time by
clicking on the minus sign of Windows 3.x's Notepad window at the upper
left-hand corner, or by clicking on the "X" Close button in Windows 95's
Notepad upper right-hand corner.

This README.TXT file can be printed in a variety of ways.  In MS-DOS you
can print it at any time from your C:\NPD1SHAR> prompt by typing
COPY README.TXT PRN and pressing Enter.  Within Windows it can be printed
from the Notepad or from any other word processing program that can open a
.TXT file.  In Windows' Notepad you should set File\Page Setup\Left Margin
to as low a value as possible before printing to insure that each line will
print in its entirety.  This text file will not appear during the actual
running of the screen saver.

THE SHAREWARE CONCEPT

Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying
it.  If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected
to register.  Individual programs differ on details -- some request
registration while others require it, some specify a maximum trial period.
With registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue using
the software to an updated program with printed material.

Shareware differs from public domain software in that there is the under-
standing of payment IF the user continues to actively employ the software.
Shareware is also copyrighted where public domain software is not.  Copy-
right restrictions vary from author to author.  Damsel's Bitmap Collection
is copyrighted.  The details of this copyright follow below.

Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software.  You should find
software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's commercial or
Shareware.  The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because
you can try before you buy.  Shareware has the ultimate money-back
guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.


3.  COPYRIGHT INFORMATION

Damsel Software Group's Shareware version of its Neoplastic Designs can
be shared freely with everyone.  We do request that a copy of this README
file accompany the program so that others may register the product if they
so desire.  For commercial disk vendors this request is an absolute
requirement.  This Shareware version cannot be used for commercial
applications.

Once registered, the images contained in Damsel products may be used as
wallpaper or as baseline images for further private or commercial process-
ing.  Your only restriction as a registered purchaser, owner, or user, is
that Damsel products or their individual images not be resold or distributed
in their original unmodified form.  Images may be used unmodified in
commercial publications where they form an integral part of a larger work to
be sold or marketed as such.  The images cannot be resold as stand-alone
graphics without the expressed written consent of Damsel Software Group.
The screen saving functions cannot be redistributed except in Shareware or
other Damsel-approved versions with their original associated Damsel images.


4.  MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

This is the only product offered by Damsel that consists entirely of 16-
color images.  This limitation is a positive value for those users with
older systems.  Basically, if you can run Windows 3.1 or higher in color,
this screen saver will work for you.  It requires a video display board with
16-color capability for display on a VGA or SVGA monitor.

You will need an IBM PC-compatible with a 386 or higher-type micro-
processor, 4MB RAM, and a hard disk with 5MB free disk space.

Damsel products run with MS-DOS 3.1 or higher using Windows 3.1 or higher.
Damsel products are fully compatible with Windows 95.


5.  SETTING UP YOUR SCREEN SAVER AND WALLPAPER

First, the Screen Saver:

Exit this README file by clicking on the minus sign or the Close ("X")
button of the Notepad window.  Then, turn off any other screen savers you
may be using unless they are the ones linked directly to your Desktop
(Display) Accessories module, following the manufacturer's instructions.

    *** ACCESS IN WINDOWS 3.X ***

To access your Neoplastic Designs Screen Saver from Windows' Program Manager,

1.  Double click on your Main icon.
2.  Double click on the Control Panel icon.
3.  Double click on the Desktop icon.
4.  Once you are in the Desktop dialog box open the list
    in the Screen Saver area by clicking the button at the right
    of the box titled "Name:" (or by pressing TAB several times to go to
    the box, followed by ALT+DOWN ARROW).
5.  Scroll on the slide bar until you find the screen saver titled
    "Neoplastic Share".  Click once on the title to select it.  You may
    also select the "Delay" time (of inactivity) in minutes which will
    precede the initiation of any screen saver selected.  Password
    protection is also available and is described in the next section.
6.  After selecting the screen saver choose OK in the upper right-hand
    corner of the dialog box and exit back to the opening screen.  The
    Neoplastic Shareware Screen Saver will now appear after the initial
    chosen period of inactivity passes.

1.  Press or click your mouse on the Task Bar's Start button.
2.  Highlight or click on Settings, from the first menu.
3.  Click on Control Panel, from the second menu.
4.  When the Control Panel window opens, double click on the Display icon.
5.  Click on the tab titled Screen Saver.
6.  Scroll down the list of screen savers and click on the name "Neoplastic
    Share".  At this point you can also set the screen saver's "Wait"
    time or enter a password.  Password details are available in the next
    section.

Here are descriptions of the ten designs included in this Shareware
Edtion.  The selections have been ordered historically here and in the
screen saver to show the development of the Neoplastic style.  To
better understand this growth you may want to skip ahead and read
Section 10 of this readme file,  Piet Mondrian and the Origins of
Neoplastic Design.

1.  Filename MONDRN65.BMP  The greatest of the abstract artists of the
    early 1900's generally came from traditional schools of represent-
    ational art.  This classical tradition was rooted in the figurative
    forms of the human body and other natural objects.  The early break-
    throughs toward pure abstraction usually carried along some of these
    past memories.

2.  Filename MONDRN31.BMP  The second image shows again the ties to a
    3-dimensional world.  Mondrian participated in this artistic movement
    known as Cubism.  As Cubism reached its height in 1912 Paris, Mondrian
    was 40 years old.

3.  Filename MONDRN26.BMP  In 1917 at age 45, Mondrian left Cubism behind,
    removing the last vestiges of curves and what he considered to be
    their confining enclosure of space and ideas.  The right angle and
    resultant rectangles expressed most cleanly for Mondrian the dualism
    of the individual in relation to a social organization.

4.  Filename MONDRN51.BMP  A giant square reminiscent of early 1920's
    vintage.  During this period the spaces and their interrelationships
    overpowered the lines that defined their edges.

5.  Filename MONDRN50.BMP  Classic Neoplasticism: squares, rectangles,
    lines and color fields all in equilibrium.  Society codified and
    optimized.  Mondrian reached this stage in the early 1920's at the
    age of 52.

6.  Filename MONDRN66.BMP  In 1928 Mondrian varied his compositions to
    engage in a contrapuntal balancing of squares and rectangles.  Later
    concepts of linear resonance (interrelationships of parallel lines)
    are also present in this design.

7.  Filename MONDRN64.BMP  Mondrian made a point of defending the Neo-
    plastic style as a form suitable for an entire panoply of derivative
    art mediums.  Though the decorative arts broke many of his strict
    visual rules, Mondrian generally welcomed works such as this one as
    offspring of his social paradigm.

8.  Filename MONDRN62.BMP  This design is a 90 degree reposition of a
    1930's Mondrian.  This classic piece looks equally well in any orient-
    ation.  The fact that some do not is a result of our life's learning
    of basic visual cues; life is up, earth and death are horizontal.  The
    balancing force is gravity.

9.  Filename MONDRN69.BMP  Mondrian did not use varying line thickness in
    Neoplasticism until 1929.  This derivative design does violate one
    prime rule of the style, however.  It utilizes repetitive line spacing
    to establish visual rhythms.  This was avoided by Mondrian throughout
    his career.

10. Filename MONDRN98.BMP  Although this decorative derivative work does
    not overtly name objects, the constructions permit the imagination to
    create worlds of familiarity and depth.  Object words such as "float",
    "steps", "dais", "roof", and "windows" immediately stimulate visions
    that could have been used in conjunction with period advertising text.

Setting up your favorite Neoplastic Design for use as wallpaper:

To use Damsel's bitmap images as wallpaper for Windows the picture files
must be located in the WINDOWS directory.  They must be "COPY"ed to the
WINDOWS directory in order that the original screen saver previewer will
still function.  This screen saver has been programmed to look for the files
in the NPD1SHAR directory.  If you "MOVE" the image files to the WINDOWS
directory in order to save disk space, the program will no longer be able to
find them in their new home.  After watching the screen saver for a time,
you may find favorites that you may wish to copy one at a time, rather than
duplicating all files in the NPD1SHAR directory.  You can use the COPY
function of Windows' File Manager to accomplish this operation.  In
Windows 95 you can use My Computer or Explorer to do a COPY/PASTE
operation.

Your alternative is to uninstall and reinstall this program, choosing the
WINDOWS directory as your choice when prompted by the program.  Before
choosing this route, please check your current WINDOWS directory for any
resident readme.txt files as the installation will overwrite any earlier
versions of readme.txt.  Though offered as an alternative Damsel does not
recommend this technique as it clutters the Windows directory and makes the
manual uninstall routine more time-consuming for the user.

To access your new wallpaper choices return to your Program Manager\Control
Panel\Desktop dialog box. The Wallpaper scroll box is located directly
beneath the Screen Saver box.  Choosing wallpaper is exactly like choosing
your screen saver except that the options are different.  When selecting any
of the Neoplastic images from the wallpaper list you should also click on
the Center option located directly under the Wallpaper scroll box.

In Windows 95 the sequence is Start\Settings\Control Panel\Display\
Background. The Wallpaper scroll box is to the lower right of the dialog
box.


6.  SCREEN SAVER FUNCTION AND FEATURES

Damsel's Neoplastic Designs Screen Saver, Shareware Edition, is a collection
of 10 640 x 480 pixel graphics which can also be used as Windows wallpaper.

All of Damsel's screen savers have preset display times and transition
effects (the methods used to transition between one image and the next).
Once loaded, the image files are stored in uncompressed BMP format.  The
length of time required to load each image and perform transition effects
will depend directly on the size and speed of your microprocessor (386, 486,
or Pentium class) and the power of your video graphics card.  Some of the
transition times have been extended deliberately as they are interesting to
watch in and of themselves.

Damsel has set the post-transition display times to be approximately 20
seconds for each image using a 486-type machine running at 33 Megahertz.
Faster 486 and Pentium machines will exhibit slightly shorter display times.
Users with 386-type machines may notice an initial blank screen lasting
several seconds as the microprocessor loads the first image.  Some blank
screen time may also appear between certain transition effects on slower
machines.

Your screen saver has been installed in the "Mouse Aware" mode, meaning that
any movement of the mouse will disengage the screen saver.  Disengagement
may take several seconds if the program is interrupted during one of the
image transitions.  The screen saver may be put into a "Mouse Ignore" mode
where only a depressed key on the keyboard will deactivate the screen saver.
The program will recommence using the next image in its sequence when the
selected delay time reactivates the screen saver.

To access the Mouse Aware \ Mouse Ignore setup choices click on the Setup
button of the Screen Saver section of the Desktop (Win95's Display) dialog
box (accessed by the Program Manager\Main\Control Panel\Desktop command
sequence in Windows 3.x, or by Windows 95's Start\Settings\Control Panel\
Display\Screen Saver command sequence).  Once there, the choices are found
on the left side of the upper tool bar.  The Mouse icon on the upper
horizontal tool bar is a toggle switch.  A box at the lower left of the
screen will tell you which mode you have chosen.  Click on the exit icon or
the Windows' "X" at the upper right-hand corner to leave this box.  Before
leaving you may wish to set a password.

Damsel screen savers have incorporated the same Password protection scheme
offered by the original Windows screen savers.  This feature is also found
in the Setup (Settings) dialog box of the Screen Saver section of the
Desktop (Display) dialog box.  A click on the Password button brings up a
screen with the "Enter New Password" entry line.  As you type in your
selected password, asterisks will appear for each letter.  Clicking on the
OK button will bring up a confirmation screen where you will be asked to
reenter the same password.  Clicking the OK button here will return you to
the original Setup (Settings) screen.  Note that if you have several Damsel
products, they will all use the same password.  A change to a password for
one screen saver will affect them all.

Exiting will activate your password protection. With the screen saver
activated, any motion of the mouse in the Mouse Aware mode or keyboard entry
in the Mouse Ignore mode will bring up an Enter Password dialog box.  The
password must be correctly entered in order to gain access back to the
active Windows environment. If you forget your password your best option
is to copy PGX.INI from your original Disk #1 directly to your WINDOWS
directory and then enter a new password, if desired.

If you wish to change or remove the password you must return to the Setup
(Settings) screen of the Screen Saver section of the Desktop (Display)
dialog box.  To enter a new password follow the same procedure as described
above.  To remove the password simply click on the OK button of both the
Enter New Password input screen and the Reenter New Password screen without
filling in the input line.


7.  IMAGE COMPRESSION

The images from the Neoplastic Designs Screen Saver, Shareware Edition, are
loaded into their directory uncompressed in the BMP graphics format.  While
this uses up more hard disk space than a compressed format such as JPEG,
it does guarantee that each image will retain perfect fidelity to the
original Damsel design.  And, it permits all images to be used as wallpaper.


8.  UNINSTALLING YOUR SCREEN SAVER

Your screen saver has been loaded to a directory named NPD1SHAR unless you
chose otherwise during the installation procedure.  In order to enable you
to access the screen saver Damsel has loaded two additional files into your
WINDOWS directory, NPD1xxxx.INI and NPD1xxxx.SCR, where 'x' is any number.
If you have chosen a password, the program has also copied PGX.INI to the
WINDOWS directory.

To remove the screen saver from your hard disk simply delete all files in
the NPD1SHAR directory (or your own directory name chosen during install-
ation)and the NPD1xxxx.INI and NPD1xxxx.SCR files located in your WINDOWS
directory.  This can be done quickly from your Windows 3.x File Manager,
found in your Program Manager's Main menu, or from your Windows 95 My
Computer or Explorer. Though not required for the continued functioning of
Windows, popular uninstall application programs may be used to seek out and
remove small lines of code that Windows adds to its own system files.

Also, remove PGX.INI if present.  If PGX.INI contains an active password.
If you do not remove the file, the next time you load any Damsel screen
saver you will find that the old password has immediately been attached to
it.  If you have forgotten that old password, you will have to manually copy
the new PGX.INI file into your WINDOWS directory in order to overwrite the
old password.  You can find this screen saver PGX.INI file either in the
NPD1SHAR directory or on your original installation Disk #1.  If you have
other Damsel products on your hard disk you can leave this file intact.

10. PIET MONDRIAN AND THE ORIGINS OF NEOPLASTIC DESIGN IN WESTERN ART

Neoplasticism was one of several non-figurative artistic movements of the
early 1900's.  Begun in the Netherlands in 1917, it's focus on pure
abstraction was accompanied by a philosophical rationalism expressed through
its own periodical, a cultural review magazine called "De Stijl"(The Style).
In Neoplasticism, visual forms were meant to symbolize the underlying
structure of reality.  Writings for "De Stijl" made it clear that the
artists of the movement considered references to social structure as
important as the physical structures of their paintings.  'The Style' which
gave the magazine its name represented a distillation of the concept of a
society based on a technological and scientific basis.  The idea dated back
to the Renaissance, but was beginning to take on a greater meaning as
mechanized industry grew rapidly in the 1900's.

The principles of "De Stijl" were given both visual and verbal form by the
Dutch artist, Piet Mondrian.  His visual work combines a formal structural-
ism with plastic spacial and tonal interrelationships capable of eliciting
feelings of harmony and tension in the viewer without reference to trad-
itional organic lifeforms.  In the works of Piet Mondrian, the individual
elements take the form of varied lines, spaces and colors which are organ-
ized into a complex yet balanced whole bounded by the edges of the canvas.

Verbally, Mondrian spoke through articles published in "De Stijl".  Mondrian
defined Neoplasticism as an artistic style less concerned with the
individual's place in society than with the dynamics of society itself.
It became one of the prime constructs of "De Stijl" that art should be a
vehicle to resolve social conflict by extoling an interactive harmony which
would permit individual choice within a cohesive collective organization.
Thus, the individual elements of Mondrians paintings had no greatness of
their own, but only struck a chord through their relationships with all of
the other elements in the canvas.

The works of Piet Mondrian strike such a vibrant formal balance between
harmony and tension, that they could be described as utopian dreams rather
than representations of realistic social interaction.  However, both
individuals and societies look to such dreams for visions of hope and future
possibilities.  The paintings and the writings of Mondrian survive due to
their ability to speak to this greater human desire.

Born in 1872 near Utrecht, close to the German border, Mondrian was the son
of a small town school director.  In his early 20's he obtained a teaching
certificate and then studied an additional five years at the Amsterdam
Academy of Fine Arts.  The birth of "De Stijl" in 1917 came only four years
after he had progressed artistically through realism and cubism to his own
abstract style.  Mondrian's own writings became central themes of the
artistic movement.  In "De Stijl"'s second issue, he wrote that the raging
First World War was effectively destroying the old world of individual power
and agression.  He believed throughout World War II to his death in New York
in 1944 that science and technology would eventually lift mankind beyond the
pale of our barbaric past and present.

The images contained in this screen saver are meant to reflect the develop-
ment of Mondrian's style.  The images begin with works that represent
younger efforts, combining organic and quasi-abstract shapes, gradually
progressing to images of pure abstraction typical of Mondrian's fully
developed style.  None of these images are direct copies of any of
Mondrian's work, nor are they ever to be considered as such.
