This CD has been designed for everyone who wants a collection of clip
art and illustrations for their Archimedes or Risc PC. The contents are
Artworks, Sprite and Drawfiles suitable for use on their own or for
incorporating into documents using Impression, Ovation, or one of the
other packages available.

Much of the material has been selected with a view to its usefulness to
schools, clubs, and local magazines, although whatever your needs there
is bound to be a great deal that you will find useful. There is a lot of
clip art available for Acorn computers but most of it, although of very
high quality, is quite expensive. This CD tries to provide you with a
huge collection at very low cost.

As this is the third Clip Art CD we have produced we have responded to
feedback from users of the previous two. As more people now have colour
printers we have included more colour files as well as greyscale and
outline pictures. If two files have the same name, one with a 'C'
suffix, for example -

        SEAL
        SEALC

the second file is the colour version.

Many colour Draw files have been changed to grey and, where applicable,
modified to give the best printout on a laser printer.

Sprite files have been coloured in basic colours and give good
printout on a Canon BJC 610 or equivalent.

By request from users we have tried to provide a larger proportion of
Draw format files on this CD. Although more difficult to change or
modify they are sometimes simpler to use because they are easier to
scale than Sprite files and so are more convenient for use in DTP
documents. Sometimes, especially in the SILOHETS and CARTOONS sections,
an item may be supplied in both Draw and Sprite format.

The PICTURES directory contains a selection of high quality 256 colour
images taken from the large number we have available.

The !CDVIEW application will enable you to look at the various files.
Full instructions for using this can be found by clicking on 'Help' on
the icon bar menu when you run !CDVIEW.

With a CD of this type containiing over 720 megabytes in more than 9,600
files finding what you want can be extremely difficult. We did consider
including 'thumbnail' files, but these took over 100 megabytes, and this
would have meant a corresponding reduction in the amount of material on
the CD. The text file CONTENTS is a complete listing of every file. Each
s shown with its full path/filename, its type [D], [S], [A] or [T] for
Draw, Sprite, Artworks or Text respectively, and its size in kilobytes.
You can load this file into any text editor and it will help you to
search for particular files or directories.

In order to get as much as possible onto this CD some files have been
compressed using ArcFS. The !CDVIEW program will auomatically load ArcFS
when it is run and will de-compress these files as required. If you do
not use !CDVIEW you will need to load !ArcFS and decompress these files.
An ArcFS archive looks similar to as ordinary directory folder. Most
will contain just a single file, but others may contain many. You can
treat the archives just like a 'normal' directory and drag the files out
of them to any application or to another disc.



        Licence to use the APDL Clip Art CD

Purchase of this CD gives the purchaser the right to use it on any
single computer. APDL does not claim Copyright over any of the material
contained on this disc, most of which has been collected over many years
and donated by a variety of persons. We therefore place no restriction
upon the use of the material on the CD other than restrictions which the
original Author may impose. This applies especially to items in the
SHAREWARE directory, all of which contain explanatory text files.


        Copyright

We have tried to ensure that all material is either Public Domain,
Freeware, Shareware, or for other reasons may be freely distributed.
Unlike most material, the origins of a piece of computer artwork is
often difficult to ascertain, and if we have erred please be assured
that we have acted in good faith and taken all reasonable precautions to
ensure that no Copyright material has been included. If you do recognise
any of your own work on this CD and are not happy, for any reason, for
it to be included than please contact APDL and it will be removed from
any future versions. We apologise in advance if this should happen, but
I am sure you will appreciate that it is impossible to be 100% certain
of the status of many unsigned items. We ask you to be generous and
forgiving if we have made a mistake - it wasn't deliberate!


        Use on a Network

A free Licence to use this CD on a Network will normally be granted to a
state run, non fee paying, school or college, registered charity, user
group, or other non profit making organisation, within the United
Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland. This Licence is not automatic, and
you must apply in writing to APDL on the appropriate form, which is the
text file 'NETWORK'. If you fulfil the above conditions there is usually
no fee for the Licence but we do charge a £1 administration fee, which
must be enclosed with your application.

If you do not fit the conditions for a free Licence then please apply on
the same form, describing fully your circumstances, and include an SAE
for our reply. We will advise you of a suitable Licence fee. Normally
this will be granted without charge or only a nominal fee unless we
think you are using the CD for commercial gain, in which case we shall
charge a fee appropriate for the value we believe you are obtaining.

We reserve absolutely the right to refuse a Network Licence to any
person or organisation.

Using the CD on a network without a Licence is a breach of Copyright.

Making the APDL Clip Art CD available over any Public Access Network,
Bulletin Board, or any similar means is EXPRESSLY FORBIDDEN without an
appropriate Licence. If you wish to obtain a Licence apply on the
NETWORK form and also supply full details of your situation, including
any fees payable, download charges, etc.


        Acknowledgements

This CD could not possibly have been produced without the efforts of the
APDL DTP Librarian, Alan Wilburn. He has spent many hours collecting,
improving, categorising, and otherwise producing the contents of this CD
as well as the work he does with the normal APDL DTP discs. If you think
this collection is worthwhile, then he is the person who deserves your
praise and thanks. If there are omissions, errors or mistakes, then they
are probably mine.
