- This is the README.TXT file for Microangelo, a product
- designed specifically for working with miniature graphics
- and Windows 95.
-
- INSTALLING MICROANGELO
- -----------------------
- The Microangelo package includes a graphical Windows
- installation program. Copy or unzip the set of files
- that accompany this README.TXT file to a floppy diskette
- or into a temporary folder. Then run the SETUP program
- from the diskette or temporary folder.
-
- UNINSTALLING MICROANGELO
- ------------------------
- Microangelo Setup also installs an "uninstall" utility
- to allow easy removal of Microangelo from your system.
- Select "Add/Remove Programs" from your Settings (Control
- Panel) folder and select "Microangelo 2.0" to uninstall
- the software.
-
-
- DISPLAYING HIGH-COLOR ICONS
- ---------------------------
- The Microangelo Engineer component contains an option on
- the System tab that is used to configure Windows 95 to
- display icons using all possible colors. Displaying icons
- in more than 16 colors requires the system's video mode to
- be set to GREATER than 256 colors. Appropriate modes are
- commonly referred to as High-Color (16 bit) or True Color
- (24 bit). Your system's video mode can be accessed from
- the Settings tab of your Display's Property sheet. Right
- click anywhere on the desktop background and select
- Properties.
-
- DOCUMENTATION
- -------------
- Setup installs a Quickstart User Manual and displays this
- manual at the conclusion of Setup. The Quickstart guide
- contains important information and tips to help get the
- most out of Microangelo.
-
- We recommend printing out the Quickstart guide and reviewing
- before you use Microangelo or very soon. It really does
- contain some useful information that might be otherwise
- overlooked.
-
- Also, a thorough and concise set of online Help files
- provide excellent information on program specifics and step-
- by-step instructions to help you when you need it most -
- while you work. You can access online help through the
- Contents window where the information is organized into
- books and chapters, or go directly to the Index window to
- look for specific references and keywords to help you locate
- the information that you are looking for.
-
- REGISTRATION
- ------------
- Microangelo is not free software. It is released as
- shareware, which provides the opportunity for the program
- to be evaluated before it is purchased.
-
- We hope that when you try Microangelo you will like it so
- much that you will want to register. By doing so you are
- voting with your pocketbook for us to continue developing
- high-quality, Windows shareware.
-
- Complete information on how to register Microangelo is
- included in the REGISTER.DOC file. Microangelo Setup
- installs a start menu entry titled Microangelo Print
- Registration Form that allows you to print the form from
- your Start menu. If you wish to remove the entry and are
- not familiar with how to do so, instructions are provided
- to remove the entry in the form itself.
-
-
- Acknowledgements and Sincere Thanks
- -----------------------------------
- As most good things in this world, Microangelo is the
- product of hard work, sincere effort, and contributions
- of many individuals. I would specifically like to thank
- James Snyder of Shattered Rose Studio for his beta
- testing efforts and the cool animated cursors he has
- produced. Four of James' creations are installed to your
- Microangelo folder. Access them from the Browser's
- Animated Cursor tab.
-
- Perhaps the most dedicated fan and contributor to
- Microangelo outside of Impact Software, I want to thank
- Benny Berger for sharing his suggestions, his artistic
- talents, and perhaps most of all his belief that
- Microangelo can be the best of its kind. We're going
- to do our best to prove you right, Benny.
-
- Our biggest thanks go to those of you who are our
- customers - who enjoy and register our software. We
- work hard to earn your support, and we thank each of
- you for allowing us to provide you with great software
- like Microangelo.
-
- One last thought... We'd like to continue to do more -
- so please, if you continue to *use it* past the agreed
- evaluation period, kindly *register* this software.
-
- Thank you!
-
- The Impact Team
