CREATIVE GRAPHICS ARCHIVES
208 Park Street
Westfield, NJ 07090
(201) 355-1679
Greetings,
You've just acquired one volume of the CREATIVE GRAPHICS ARCHIVES.
Congratulations! The images in your possession are of uniquely high quality.
Some volumes include entire scenes that you can use as a whole, or from which
you can crop those elements that best suit you. Some are computer reproduc-
tions of old master printers' engravings by German or French craftsmen.
Most of them can be used "as is" to illustrate your text, create greeting cards,
posters or announcements. We suggest you do not reduce complex entries (usually
consuming lots of space) too much, to keep their intricate detail intact.
We have sized and tested almost every one of these images to ensure their
integrity at different levels of magnification, however. And for maximum
compatibility, they are offered in the ever popular PC Paintbrush format (.PCX).
Other formats and custom digitazion and scanning are available as Special
Services at reasonable premiums. Once you use them, you'll agree that they are
among the most useful and desirable graphic images around. They come to you
using self extracting LZH, a utility copyrighted by Haruyasu Yoshizaki in 1989,
for maximum compression. To unpack simply copy each .exe file to a separate
diskette (if 360k) or to the directory where you want the images to reside,
and run. Presto! They are unpacked!!
We ask that you acknowledge C.G.A. as your source upon any publication or
commercial use of the images. They may not be sold, packaged or syndicated as
computer images whithout the written permission of CREATIVE GRAPHICS ARCHIVES.
The act of downloading from a BBS or unpacking these in any way constitutes
your agreement with these terms.
An index for each volume may be found in file INDEX?-? We have broken
each volume up into two files so that each will fit, unpacked, on a 360k
diskette. Users with 720K diskettes may unpack both files of a volume on the
same diskette. Hard disk users obviously have no such limitations. In spite
of the acronym for C.G.A., they work equally well with any graphics card, color
or monochrome, although the images are in black and white with a view at
integration with the printed documents most of us mortals produce.
New volumes are released every other week, and Special Reserve Editions
at least once monthly. These last ones are only available to subscribers
directly from us, and contain very detailed or unusual images grouped by topic.
Advance Announcements, Catalogs, and a complete copy of the LZH utility are
included with every subscription.
Which brings us to the subject of compensation. Although available
thusly, this product is not technically shareware. Minimal as it may be, a
fee of $10.00 per volume (30-60 images) is expected. Subscription rates of
$20.00-$120.00 are available, and further entitle you to advance receipt of
future volumes (somewhat like record and book companies), but above all, it puts
in your hands our Special Reserve Editions not otherwise available.
