Thank you for downloading and evaluating this demo version of Body Insight!
Informative Graphics Corporation is a leading developer of educational
software products designed to help you learn more about yourself and your
world. Body Insight for Windows and Body Insight for DOS can be found at
most popular retail software outlets and mail order houses. Also look for
these other titles in our Insight Software series:

* Auto Insight - Explore the automobile from bumper to bumper. Available
                 now in both DOS and Windows versions at your favorite
                 software retailer.

* PC Insight   - Learn how computers work, inside and out. Coming soon to a
                 software store near you!

In this demo of Body Insight, only the bones in the "Skeletal System" (first
top row icon button) and any items in the "Cardiovascular System" ("heart"
icon) have text descriptions.  This part of the program is designed to give
you more detailed information about the highlighted item.  The Insight
product line has every item identified.  Each image has a detailed
description to help you learn more about the topic.  Over 2,500 parts and
systems of the human body are identified in Body Insight.

The "Cardiovascular System" is a working example of the product's hyperlinking.
For example, to move to a cut view of the lungs:

  DOS version:  Select "Lungs" once to highlight the item, and again to jump
                to the "Lungs" image.

  WINDOWS version: Double click on "Lungs."

This demo has been distributed as two files:

     WINBODY.ZIP - Body Insight for Windows demo version.
     DOSBODY.ZIP - Body Insight for DOS demo version.
