We hope you enjoy this CD-ROM. If you have any questions or
suggestions please pass them on to Simitar Software at one of
the numbers or addresses below.
Please fill out the registration card included in this package
or the electronic version (file "REGISTRA.TXT") and send it to
Simitar. Registration will get you notices of updates, new
products, and special offers.
Disk Contents
-------------
On the CD-ROM there is a directory named "KUDO". Contained in
that directory are the files that make up the Kudo Image
Browser along with Apple's QuickTime software. You can run
Kudo from your CD or copy the directory to your hard disk.
The Kudo Image Browser contained on this CD-ROM is a read-
only version of the product. It is provided for reading the
catalogs on this disk.
The movie clips are contained in two folders: 90K and 200K.
The folder named 200K contains clips optimized to play back on
fast computers, and the 90K clips are optimized to play back on
slower machines.
The GOODIES folder contains catalogs of other Simitar products
you can order.
Installation Instructions
-------------------------
Note: If you've already installed the Kudo Image Browser from
another package or own Kudo, you can skip the installation
and go right to viewing the catalog files provided on this
CD-ROM.
If you wish to play the movies without installing Kudo or
QuickTime on your hard disk, you can simply set an
"association" for the movies.
To set the movie association:
1) Run File Manager.
2) Select "Associate" from the File menu.
3) Enter MOV as the extension.
4) If the "Associate With" box says "QuickTime Movie" then
QuickTime has already been installed. Click on Cancel.
If the "Associate With" box does NOT say "QuickTime
Movie" then click on "Browse" and find the application
PLAYER.EXE in the KUDO directory.
5) Click OK. You're done!

To install the Kudo Image Browser and QuickTime on your hard

disk.

KUDO_RO.EXE in the folder you just created on your hard
disk.
Viewing the catalogs
--------------------
There are two ways to open the catalogs included on the
CD-ROM:
1) Run the "KUDO_RO.EXE" application located in the "KUDO"
directory.
2) Choose Open from the Kudo file menu and select the
catalog located on the CD-ROM drive.
-or-
(If you have installed Kudo on your hard disk.)
1) Go into the Windows File Manager
2) Locate the CD-ROM
3) Double-click/Run the catalog file located on the top
level if the CD-ROM (ends with a ".kdb" extension).
Kudo Documentation
------------------
There is no printed documentation included for the Read Only
version of Kudo. The main features you will use are the
browsing and preview features. There are no keywords or
descriptions included that would be used in a search.
Troubleshooting:
--------------
The KUDO browser on this disk assumes that O: represents your
CD-ROM drive. If your CD-ROM drive is mapped to a different
letter, KUDO will ask you where to find the images for this
catalog.
If you have a non-CD-ROM device mounted as O:, the KUDO
browser will not be able to find the images it has cataloged.
You can solve this problem by remapping your drives. If you
are having difficulties viewing the movies from the Kudo
Image Browser, please refer to the installation instructions
above.
