TEMPRA GIF v1.01 Primer
We hope you enjoy this demo version of TEMPRA GIF v1.01 for VGA and SVGA cards.
TEMPRA GIF is the Ultimate Personal Imaging tool for working on, or creating
color image files. TEMPRA GIF lets you manipulate GIF or PCX files with any
resolution up to 8192 x 8192 pixels in size. TEMPRA GIF is a brand new product
with its own POWERFUL GUI which lets you EDIT color images quickly and
easily. It can run under WINDOWS 3(TM) as a DOS(TM) application, or
stand alone in a DOS Environment. It has an amazing collection of tools
typically only found in expensive imaging packages that cost more than $1000.
TEMPRA GIF is available on a limited basis for $79.00 to BBS users together
with an introductory gift from Mathematica, Inc. We hope you and your friends
will have hours of fun with this introductory gift, call us for details. TEMPRA
GIF retails for $149.00.
TEMPRA GIF is a daughter product to TEMPRA PRO. TEMPRA PRO has added abilities
to allow the user to Scan and Print images, and can work with up to 16.7 Million
color images on deep color VGA boards and the Hercules Graphics Station Card.
Also TEMPRA PRO can Import and Export TIF, TGA and IBM AVC color images as well
as GIF and PCX files. TEMPRA PRO will is available through Merisel Dealers in
the USA at a retail price of $495.
Please note: Printing and Scanning are not available in TEMPRA GIF.
The TEMPRA PRO Printing and Scanning Menus can be explored in
TEMPRA GIF. The user will get a function not available message
if a print or scan is attempted.
To run this primer product, simply copy the contents of this diskette to your
hard disk drive (to a \TEMPRA subdirectory is suggested) and type TEMPRA.
N.B. A Windows 3 PIF file (TEMPRA.PIF) and Icon (TEMPRA.ICO) are provided to
assist you in running the TEMPRA GIF Primer in a WINDOWS 3 environment
as a DOS application.
When you first start the TEMPRA GIF primer from the DOS command line or WINDOWS
3, a brief configuration menu will appear for you to select the type of VGA
or SVGA video card installed in your system. TEMPRA GIF will then configure
and load itself. Be sure that you have your mouse driver loaded BEFORE running
TEMPRA GIF. You may also want to have a few GIF or PCX files handy to load
into TEMPRA GIF. ENJOY!
If you need to reconfigure TEMPRA GIF for a VGA card other than the one you
first install it on, you can type TEMPRA -R to reconfigure it from the same
startup menu.
