Generating Card Ready For Mailing
Generating Your Card Ready For Mailing

_________________________________________________________

Prior to mailing, your card needs to be generated and made ready for mailing.

Generating your card ready for mailing is the final stage in the design process. Pressing the "Generate" button from the toolbar or from the final dialog screen when using the card wizard will generate your card ready for mailing. This generation process converts the card you have created including all the audio and video clips in to a single file called CARD.EXE.

Once this generation proccess is complete, you can then mail your card. To mail your card, create a new message with your e-mail system and then attach CARD.EXE to that message. When you send your message, your card will also be sent.

CARD.EXE is located and stored in a directory called MAIL under the main directory where you installed FunE-Cards. For example, if you installed FunE-Cards to the default directory, then your card is located in the following directory:

Windows 95 & NT 	C:\Program Files\Fecards\Xmas1\Mail

Windows 3.1 	C:\Fecards\Xmas1\Mail
