-
- Funny Face was designed to provide kids with a creative form of entertainment.
- It allows children to create animation style faces without requiring them to
- to possess strong artistic skills.
-
- Many of the paint packages on the market today require some degree of skill
- to generate recognizable pictures. This often times creates frustration on
- the part of very young children when using the software. This was taken into
- consideration during the design of this software package.
-
- Funny Face is achieving wide popularity. Download this program to see why!
-
- Funny Face will run on IBM and compatible computers equipped with 512K of
- memory, a color monitor, and a color graphics adapter (CGA).

-
- One of my goals in developing Funny Face was to make enough money to support
- my efforts in continuing to develop software. The philosophy of my company
- is to design "software that stimulates creativity". As a software developer
- I must constantly invest into development tools that allow me to create
- entertaining software such as Funny Face. These tools are quite expensive
- and that is why I need your support. I have recently had 2500 copies of
- Funny Face commercially packaged. I hope to sell these packages by promoting
- them through the shareware market. If you or your children like my
- software and would like to me to continue developing creative software
- please order a commercial version of Funny Face.
-
- For $19.95 you can purchase a version of Funny Face that is free of
- advertisements, has twice as many facial features to choose from as well
- as EGA/VGA, 16 color, support for coloring in pictures. I believe that
- Funny Face can compete with similar childrens software packages that cost
- significantly more when purchased in the retail stores. An order form has
- been included on the diskette and can be printed out by typing ORDERFRM
- at your DOS prompt.
-
- The shareware version of Funny Face can be freely copied and distributed.
- I own full copyright to both the shareware and commercial product and thus
- it cannot be used for commercial gain/profit without my prior consent.
-
- To order the commercial version of Funny Face please complete the order form
- and mail it along with a check for $19.95 to:
-
- Z-ware
- P.O. Box 3294
- Antioch, CA. 94531
-
- You will be shipped a package which contains both 3 1/2" and a 5 1/4"
- low density diskettes, an installation/user manual, and a registration card.
- Please allow 2 weeks for delivery.
-
- I'm always glad to hear your comments and/or ideas for new products
- so please feel free to provide feedback or suggestions when you order your
- copy. I appreciate your support and I hope you have as much fun using this
- product as I had developing it.
