Make sure your desktop publishing or graphics program supports EPS files before ordering. #2930 Around the House #2931 Holidays #2932 Holidays #2 #2933 Leisure #2934 Religion #2935 Personal Style #2936 Aircraft,Vacation #2937 Autos and Ships #2938 Animals #2939 Tools,Trains,Travel #2940 Office #2941 Party,Misc. #2942 Houses #1 #2943 Houses #2 #2944 Houses #3 #2945 Houses #4 #2946 Houses #5 #2947 Houses #6 #2948 People #1 #2949 People #2 #2950 People #3 #2951 People #4 #2952 Food #2953 Borders,Frames,Scrolls Graphics Galore [GGLABEL] 09-93 CD Cooper, Jim $15 #20241 [2 disks] contains nearly 200 images of animals, children, men and women in PCX format. These are small drawings sized for use with graphical label printing programs like Avery Label Pro and for other applications where small images are appropriate. The PsL Clip Art Collection Compilation Copyright 1991 PsL $0 The disks in the table below contain clip art in Encapsulated PostScript format, in PCX format, in WordPerfect 5.0 format, and in Corel Draw format. The clip art on disks 1709+ and 1823+ are still available, but are generally of a much lower quality or lower resolution. If you are not using a laser printer, you may still find those files to be quite acceptable. The EPS format results in the highest quality pictures. They require a PostScript printer or a program (such as GoScript) that will print PostScript files on non-PostScript printers. PostScript files may be imported into major desktop publishing programs such as Ventura. The PCX files are stored in full-page 300 dpi resolution. PCX art files can be imported into virtually all desktop publishing and graphics programs. In bit-mapped graphics such as the PCX format, loss of resolution occurs when small images are enlarged. By starting with full-page size, you can scale down the images to smaller sizes with little or no loss in resolution. While there are many disks of PCX files available, only a minority of them are high-quality, high-resolution, general-purpose art work. NOTICE: Users of Publish It! should be aware that PI! is not able to import many of these PCX files. This is a known limitation of PI! and one which Timeworks expects to correct in their next release. An alternative is that Timeworks sells a graphics file conversion utility for about $15. The WP5 files are ready for loading directly into WordPerfect version 5.0 and later. The CDR files are necessary for Corel Draw users because Corel cannot read the very same EPS files that it has exported. (Corel was used to create or clean up many of the EPS files.) You may choose any four disks for $6.99 on 360k 5.25" disks, $9.99 on 3.5" disks EPS (numbers followed with * have 2 disks) --- #2074 Animals, Plants, Scenery #2075 Cars, Office, Signs #2076 Computers #2077 Food, Home, Hobbies, Sports & Music #2078 Frames for pages #2079 Holidays, Parties #2080 Icons, Flags #2081 Miscellaneous #2082* Maps - U.S.: each state & U.S. #2083 Maps - Canada: each province #2084 People: men, women, crowds PCX --- 2085* Animals, Plants, Scenery 2086 Cars, Office, Signs 2087 Computers 2088 Food, Home, Hobbies, Sports & Music 2089 Frames for pages 2090* Holidays, Parties 2091 Icons, Flags 2092* Miscellaneous 2093* Maps - U.S.: each state & U.S. 2094 Maps - Canada: each province 2095* People: men, women, crowds WP5 --- 2096 Animals, Plants, Scenery 2097 Cars, Office, Signs 2098 Computers 2099 Food, Home, Hobbies, Sports & Music 2100 Frames for pages 2101* Holidays, Parties 2102 Icons, Flags 2103 Miscellaneous 2104* Maps - U.S.: each state & U.S. 2105 Maps - Canada: each province 2106* People: men, women, crowds CDR --- 2107 Animals, Plants, Scenery 2108 Cars, Office, Signs 2109 Computers 2110 Food, Home, Hobbies, Sports & Music 2111* Frames for pages 2112 Holidays, Parties 2113 Icons, Flags 2114 Miscellaneous 2115* Maps - U.S.: each state & U.S. 2116 Maps - Canada: each province 2117* People: men, women, crowds PFS:FP Fonts $0 #7416/1708 [2 disks] are dozens and dozens of fonts for PFS:First Publisher compressed onto two disks.
