- What is Air Mail Form Creator?
- -------------------------------
-
- Air Mail Forms Creator is a program that lets you create your own forms to use with Air Mail
- v4.2 or Air Mail Pro. Currently there are only 4 templates to choose. More to come in the
- future.
-
- You will need to have Air Mail v4.2 or Air Mail Pro installed on your system otherwise this
- program is no use to you.
-
- Note: Forms are intended for WorkBench 3.x only. If you have Workbench 2.x then the pictures
- will not show up.
-
-
- Air Mail Form Creator Interface
- --------------------------------
-
- The interface is straight forward. When you run Air Mail Forms Creator it opens a single
- window. Within the window there are four thumb nail images of a form.
-
- You can scroll up and down to view other hidden forms.
-
- To select a form to create click on the image button. A new window will be opened and
- there you enter some simple information such as your name, your email address and the
- picture you want to you.
-
- Selecting a Picture
- -------------------
-
- If the form you have selected requires a picture then you will need to select an IFF
- picture file. When creating a new form make sure you keep the picture small.
-
- Try to create a form that will fix in 640 x 200 screen. This will ensure that
- everyone can see your form and that it will not go beyond the bottom of the screen.
- The best is to create a hi-res and lo-res form so that the user can choose to use
- hi or lo resolution.
-
- Also make sure that the picture is in 8 colors. You can also include a 256 color
- version if you like for those users who have 256 colors system.
-
- Creating the Form
- -----------------
-
- When you have entered all the information and have selected an picture you can select
- the Create button. This will ask you for a form name to save it as. Keep the form
- name length short (no longer than 21 characters)
-
- The form will be saved to the Forms directory.
-
- Viewing Your New Form
- ---------------------
-
- Start Air Mail and select the New Mail icon and then select the form you have
- just created.
-
-
- Spread the Forms
- ----------------
-
- After you have create all the forms you should send them your everyone that use
- Air Mail. If would be useless to you if you don't distribute them. Send them
- to Toysoft Development Inc. and we will select the best ones to include in an
- archive that will be put on Aminet and on our homepage. This will ensure
- that everyone will get your forms.
