INTRODUCING...
The Illustrated Reader,
the program that reads
colorful, illustrated
documents on your PC!
And if you have dreams
of being an electronic
author, all you need
is a text editor or
word processor and a
paint program to create
your own electronic
books, manuals, guides,
reports, educational materials, ads and other illustrated documents.
But even if you're not interested in authoring electronic books,
the Illustrated Reader can be used simply as a graphic-based text
file reader, similar to Vernon Buerg's LIST program, but with a
GUI (graphical user interface). And, of course, you will be able
to read illustrated electronic books especially created for use
with the Illustrated Reader.
First, you will want to familiarize yourself with how the
Illustrated Reader works, which should take only a minute or two,
since the controls at the bottom of the screen are self-explanatory.
Press the F1 key to "pop up" a list of all the key or mouse commands.
The Illustrated Reader (IR for short) can read any text file,
but you probably want to read the files that came with the program:
To read each of these documents, just press F2 (or click on the
graphic F2 key below if you have a mouse) and this will bring up the
Reader Options Menu. Pick the first option, LOAD A NEW FILE, which
will bring up a list of all the files in the current subdirectory.
Just follow the directions and select whichever one you want to read.
If you get interrupted, don't worry, the program will remember which
file you were reading, and take you back to the exact page where you
left off! You might want to start with MANUAL.DOC, which explains
in more detail all the menus and features of the program.
All files listed above have many illustrations
as examples. Be sure to read the IDEAS article,
which could make YOU a shareware author! Finally,
please don't forget the MONEY.DOC file. It tells
how to register your copy of THE ILLUSTRATED READER,
and explains all licensing and distribution policies,
as well as benefits for registered users.
THANK YOU AND ENJOY!
