- INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
-
- The information on the child is an ASCII text file. It can
- be loaded and read by almost any word processor including
- the DOS EDIT command.
-
- If you wish a hardcopy (printed) version of the file, just
- press the letter P on your keyboard while the file is
- displaying on your computer screen. This must be done
- BEFORE you press the [Esc] key. The [Esc] key "freezes"
- the text and disables the print function.
-
- The image of the child is in PCX format. This is arguably
- the most popular graphics format and is supported by
- virtually every graphics program on the market.
-
- The easiest way to print the child's graphic is to
- "double-click" on the accessories icon in Windows. Then
- "double-click" on the PAINT icon to open the PAINT program
- that is included with Windows.
-
- In the PAINT menu click on "File." Then click on "Open"
- and then click on the necessary drive. If the KIDDisk was
- brought in on a floppy, you would usually click on drive
- A: and then click on the CHILD.PCX. Either "double-click"
- on it or select it and then select Open.
-
- This will bring the graphic on screen. You now simply
- select "File" and then "Print" to get a hard copy of the
- child's image. You may have to increase the scale of the
- printout, this is a small box in the lower right hand
- corner of the box that opens when you select "PRINT."
- It will usually read: Scaling: 100%. Just change it to
- read Scaling: 300% or even 500% depending on your
- system.
-
- If you have fax capabilities on your computer, most fax
- programs support PCX files. Just select the CHILD.PCX file
- from your fax program's menu and then send like any other
- document.
-
- ***********************************************************
- HINT: Select the highest resolution your fax machine or
- program supports for the highest quality graphics
- reproduction.
- ***********************************************************
-
- In some programs you may "Print" to fax. This means that
- you can click on "Printer Setup" from the file menu and
- then choose your fax program as the printer. You then just
- click on "Print" and the graphic will be faxed to your
- specified destination.
-
- The description file can also be faxed right from your
- machine by selecting it to "Print to Fax." The name of the
- text file that describes the child is called KIDSFRM.TXT
