- ABOUT THE XARA STUDIO VIEWER
- ============================
-
- Xara Studio is a brand new 32-bit high performance graphics drawing program.
- It's up to 20 times faster than Corel Draw, is easier to use and displays
- much higher quality graphics than any other drawing program. It also offers
- a range of new features such as transparency.
-
- The Xara Studio viewer on this disc allows you to load and display example
- Studio files as well as a range of other type of file, including Corel CDR files,
- and bitmap graphic files so you can see the quality and speed for yourself.
- This CD also includes a ScreenCam 'movie' of the program being demonstrated.
-
- =============================================================================
-
- This directory contains:
-
- * The Xara Studio graphic file viewer for viewing Studio files and a very
- wide range of other files types including Corel CDR files and bitmap
- files. A selection of clipart is included on this CD and can be easily
- loaded (see below). This program can also be used to view libraries of
- picture files and preview, install and de-install TrueType fonts.
-
- * A multi-media demonstration of the full Xara Studio graphics program.
- Sit back and let us show you what Xara Studio can do (loading instructions
- below).
-
- * On-line details and information about the Xara Studio program.
-
- * Forty TrueType fonts that you can install and use with any Windows
- applications.
-
- Minimum hardware requirements
- =============================
-
- The Xara Studio Viewer requires a 486 or better, and at least 8MB of RAM.
- We would recommend a large swap file (20MB or better).
- It runs on Windows 3.1, Workgroups 3.11, Windows NT 3.5 and 3.51 and
- Windows 95. It does not run on Windows 3.0.
-
- Getting started:
- ----------------
- Run SETUP.EXE For more information on installation see INSTALL.TXT.
- If you are running Windows 3.x you may need to install Win32s. (SETUP will
- tell you if Win32s is not already installed.) To install run SETUP.EXE in
- the Win32s directory in this directory.
-
- Warning: Wait until the installer says 'Installation complete' before running
- the viewer.
-
- This viewer will run on, and take advantage of, Windows 95 and Windows NT.
-
- Occasionally when trying to install, the installer will say that the script
- file is corrupted. Simply run SETUP.EXE again and it should proceed normally.
- If the problem persists, try restarting Windows, then installing.
-
- Loading clipart - either use the Clipart gallery in Viewer (click the
- Clipart gallery icon) or load the files directly from a File Manager
- window. The clipart on this CD is in the Clipart directory.
-
- To run the multimedia demonstration of Xara Studio -
- 1. Double-click the 'Xara Studio Demo' icon in program manager
- (or Choose the item 'Xara Studio Demo' from the Programs section
- of the Start menu if using Windows 95).
- 2. When the Help file appears, click the button under the Studio logo to
- run the demo.
-
- Using the fonts
- ---------------
-
- The viewer comes with a small set of TrueType fonts. You can install them
- either by using the Fonts Control Panel, and you can find the fonts in a
- directory below this one called (not surprisingly) Fonts.
-
- Alternatively, you can use the Fonts gallery in the viewer to view and install
- fonts. For more information, see the viewer help file.
-
- Problems running the ScreenCam demonstration
- ============================================
-
- If you are having problems with the ScreenCam demonstration not running, or
- stopping halfway through, try increasing the amount of virtual memory in
- Windows, and make sure you use a permanent swap file.
-
- CDR loading problems
- ====================
-
- Because this viewer was created from an early pre-release version of Xara Studio,
- the CDR loading is still incomplete, and some Corel Draw objects may not be
- imported properly (such as text along a curve, for example).
