- CLIP-ART WINDOW SHOPPER -- README NOTES
- ---------------------------------------
-
- The Adonis Corporation is pleased to present our unique
- new service, "Clip-Art Window Shopper". As a special
- offer to you as a WUGNET member, you have received a free
- trial version of "Shopper" ... including the software on
- disk, your User's Manual, and a 60-day subscription to our
- online service!
-
- WHY USE SHOPPER?
-
- The Adonis Corporation developed Clip-Art Window Shopper to
- fill a need that exists right now: to be able to locate and
- obtain the proper clip-art for a given need as quickly and
- as easily as possible.
-
- The essential element that Shopper delivers is the ability to
- select from among many publishers' offerings, and we're
- continually expanding the selection! So you can now shop for
- images according to your application. For instance, you might
- ask, "What kind of medical clip-art is available?"
-
- You can then purchase and download individual images --
- a first in the industry! Or, if buying an entire library
- matches your needs better, we make it a snap to order and our
- prices beat mail order houses.
-
- WHAT DO I GET?
-
- Our full retail product includes 14 "thumbnail" disks
- which provide preview images of clip-art. These disks allow
- you to shop for clip-art "offline". When you locate the right
- image, your modem calls in to place your order.
-
- Except for the length of your subscription (normally one
- year) your trial version is identical to the "full" version.
- Though we haven't given you the thumbnail disks in this trial
- version, you can still preview everything available online
- when you Logon.
-
- WHAT'S THE CATCH?
-
- There is none. Your trial version and 60-day subscription
- are free -- there is no online charge. Your only cost will
- be a long-distance phone call, if applicable.
-
- We see tremendous promise for this service and have found
- WUGNET to be a terrific channel for communication of ideas,
- which is why we're giving you a glimpse of our new technology!
- We think you'll end up being another satisfied customer.
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- On this floppy disk is a convenient INSTALL.EXE program --
- you must use it to install Shopper on your hard disk.
-
- COMPLIMENTS & COMPLAINTS
-
- Bringing such a wide variety of clip-art images to you was a
- huge undertaking, one of which we are all very proud. Yet
- we know there are always things which could be easier to use
- or work better, and we are committed to continually improving
- the product and service.
-
- This isn't just talk for years down the road -- you will
- benefit as soon as improvements are made! When new features
- have been added, you'll automatically get the chance to update
- your Shopper free-of-charge when you Logon.
-
- We invite you to use your trial version and tell us what you
- think! Call us toll-free at 800/234-9497 or fax us at
- 206/642-9482.
-
- USING CLIP-ART IN YOUR APPLICATIONS
-
- If you are new to the world of clip-art, it is important to
- know what kind of graphics your favorite applications can use.
-
- For example, Corel Draw normally loads and saves files in .CDR
- format. In addition, using the File Import and File Export
- commands, it can load and save files in a variety of other
- formats.
-
- Other programs can utilize only certain file formats, e.g.
- Microsoft Word for Windows can link only .TIF format images.
-
- Most applications also use the Windows clipboard -- so you
- can often use it to put clip-art into your document or
- presentation. In the above case of Word for Windows, you
- can use Windows PaintBrush to read in a clip-art image in
- .PCX format and copy it to the clipboard, and finally paste
- it into your Word document.
-
- RENEWING YOUR SUBSCRIPTION
-
- Your trial version of Clip-Art Window Shopper includes a free
- subscription for 60 days from your first Logon. We believe
- you'll find the service useful enough to order the full version
- and make a place for it on your desktop! You can do this using
- the NEW USER process after your trial subscription expires, or
- just phone us with your order.
-
- Enjoy!
