DeskGallery for DOS and Windows
DeskGallery is a collection of 30,000 clip-art images, on 3 CD-
ROMs, perfect for graphic, word processing, and page layout
applications on Macintosh, DOS, or Windows compatible computers.
In addition to the images, we've included several applications and utilities
to help you get the most out of DeskGallery.
Windows Users
Thumbs+ CD Read Only Version (in CD1:\THUMBSCD directory)
PaintShop Pro (in CD1:\EXTRAS\WNDEXTRA directory)
ThumbsPlus (in CD1\EXTRAS\WNDEXTRA directory)
DOS Users
Graphic Workshop (in CD1:\EXTRAS\DOSEXTRA directory)
Instructions for installing these programs and opening the images in several
popular programs are given below.
*******************************
THUMBSPLUS CD for Windows
Thumbs+ CD is an image cataloging program which displays "thumbnail"
sketches of all the DeskGallery images. The file "Thumbs.tud" (on CD1) contains
thumbnail sketches for all of DeskGallery's TIF images.
Thumbs+ CD also contains an image viewer utility for viewing, editing, converting,
and printing the full-size TIF images. Just double-click on a thumbnail sketch
to view and use the full-size image.
For more information on using Thumbs+ CD, open and read the THUMBS.TXT file
(in CD1:\THUMBSCD). This file will also appear on your hard drive following
installation (in C:\THUMBSCD).
Additional help is available within the program's on-line help system, under the "?" icon.
INSTALLING THUMBS+ CD
You'll need to install Thumbs Plus CD onto your hard drive in order to use the
DeskGallery catalog. To install Thumbs+ CD, execute the file "Setup.exe"
located in the CD1:\THUMBSCD directory, and follow the instructions.
*******************************
EXTRA PROGRAMS: Within the Extras directory you'll find two additional directories, one
containing DOS programs, another with Windows programs. These programs are not
neccesary to use DeskGallery, but they may prove useful for converting and
cataloging images in some cases.
DOS EXTRAS:
Graphic Workshop: Graphic Workshop allows you to open images and save them
out in WPS, TIF uncompressed, and other formats, for use with DOS programs which
do not read DeskGallery's TIF compressed format. Images can be converted
in batches as well.
To install Graphic Workshop:
1. Make a new directory on your hard drive.
2. Copy the file "GRAPHWRK.EXE" into the new directory.
3. Execute "GRAPHWRK.EXE" from the new directory; it will automatically
expand into six files, one of which is called "SETUP.EXE".
3. Double-click on "SETUP.EXE" to install Graphic Workshop. You'll
probably want to choose your new directory as the
destination directory, so that all these files end up in one place.
4. You can now type "GWS" to launch Graphic Workshop.
5. Graphic Workshop comes with extensive on-screen Help documentation
to explain the various functions and point out some less-than-obvious commands.
Take a few minutes to search through this document and you should be ready to roll.
Remember, Graphic Workshop is a shareware product; we cannot offer
technical support. If you choose to use Graphic Workshop,
please register your copy and pay the user fees as stated in the
program's on-screen documentation.
*******************************
WINDOWS EXTRAS
Within the WNDEXTRA folder you will find two shareware programs,
Thumbs Plus and Paint Shop Pro.
Thumbs Plus allows you to create your own image catalog and, if you have room to
copy the DeskGallery Catalog (THUMBS.TUD) onto your hard disk, ThumbsPlus
will allow you to add to or subtract thumbnail sketches from it as well.
To Install ThumbsPlus:
Execute the THMPLS.EXE file (in CD1:\EXTRAS\WNDEXTRA\THUMBSPL).
NOTE: ThumbsPlus technical support is available at: 1-704-529-0200.
Paint Shop Pro is a utility for converting DeskGallery images into other
graphic file formats. It also allows for limited editing of DeskGallery images.
To install Paint Shop Pro:
Execute the SETUP.EXE file (in CD1:\EXTRAS\WNDEXTRA\PSPRO).
Don't forget, these are shareware programs. If you intend to use
them please pay their respective shareware fees.
*******************************
FILE FORMATS
ATS: Bit-mapped images are in TIF format. Object images
are in EPS (Illustrator 3.0 format) and/or PCT format.
