- Kites Made Easy (rel 1.0a)
-
- AUTHORS NOTES:
-
- Thank You for trying Kites Made Easy.
-
- Kites Made Easy was written with one goal in mind: To help show
- people how fun and enjoyable the sport of kite flying can be. Going to the
- store and buying a ready-made plastic kite can never give you the complete
- satisfaction of building your own and watching your creation take off into
- the heavens. I have been flying kites for over 20 years and I still get a
- thrill out of watching it happen.
-
- This program is a beginners guide. It teaches how to build some of
- the most popular types of kites with easily found items. Each of the kites
- in the program have been built by me and flown. Some of these kites can be
- built in hardly an hours time. After you build your first one, it becomes
- addicting.
-
- The registered version has much to offer. While this shareware
- version teaches some basics of kite flying, it in no way explains the entire
- world of kites. Well, the registered version doesn't either. It will show
- you a little of what there is in the professional world of kites, but there
- is too much to put explain (maybe another program). What the registered
- version has is more kites-some a little complicated, some professional
- building techniques, professional flying techniques, and building materials
- used by some of the best kite builders in the world! It can definately get
- you started.
-
- TECHNICAL NOTES:
-
- Kites Made Easy requires a VGA adapter with 640 X 480 resolution.
- Anything under this will not work. 640 X 480 is normal VGA mode and this
- seems to be standard with computer owners these days. For those of you with
- EGA cards etc., why not upgrade. A good and cheap VGA video card can be had
- for $50 or less.
-
- All of the menu items have underlined letters. You can use these
- undelined letters instead of the mouse for menu choices.
-
- If you plan to run Kites Made Easy in Windows, use the included PIF
- file, KITES.PIF. This should run well on most systems.
-
- There could be some spelling mistakes in this shareware release and
- if there are I apologize. They will most certainly be fixed in the
- registered version.
-
- If this program seems to load images a little slowly on your system,
- well, it does that. I have a 486 DX/2 66 with 16 MB ram and it runs fine,
- a couple beta-testers complained about slow draw times. Hopefully I will
- find a way around this sometime in the future, although I have never
- personally seen it happen.
-
-
-
- Kites Made Easy is shareware. Basically shareware means try it, if you like
- it, but the registered version. My cost for this program is $6.99. I had
- spent over 8 months on this program and consider $6.99 a trivial amount
- to spend on something that can bring you so much happiness. If you wish
- to buy the registered version, then I thank you. You can print the order
- form from within the program (why register screen), or print it yourself
- from the DOS prompt. Personal checks must clear before the order is sent,
- so if you want it quickly, take the extra time and get a money order. You
- can send cash, but I make no guarantees on cash orders. It could never reach
- me and you would have no way to stop payment. Shipping and handling, which
- consists of postage plus the cost of a disk envelope, is $1.50.
