MEDSET1A MANUAL_P.DOC, Copyright 1992 Ray Litman This manual in whole or part may not be reproduced without permission, except as provided for, under the provisions of the license agreement. Copyright Act 1976. This MANUAL_P.DOC was produced using Word Perfect For Windows 5.1, saved as a DOS text file. MEDSET clip art; produced using Corel Draw 2.0/2.01 & Harvard Draw 1.0 & exported by the respective program as PCX files MANUAL_P.DOC Rev5 Jun. 1992 FILE DISTRIBUTION MEDSET1A PCX is shipped in the following Self-extracting files: MDARTP_1.EXE MDARTP_2.EXE MDARTP_3.EXE You need all three for the complete set.

This product is distributed as shareware & is in a ZIP format. If you are reading this manual either from the screen of your word processor, editor or in printed form you already have access to all the files. This manual is not meant to substitute for your DOS manual, instructions for your word processor, layout, paint or draw program. In this manual the assumption (yes I'm aware of that connotation) is made that you have a good understanding of DOS & are familiar with the program that you choose to use with the Medical Clip Art. If this is not true, please join a local users group, spend sometime haunting the counter of a good software store, call the help line of the software manufacturer, go to your public library & check out one of the many good books for new users, take an adult education course at your community college (Making Friends With My PC 101), get a subscription to a computer magazine or as a last resort spend some time reading your software's instruction manual. Having said all that, copy the clip art files to your hard drive under the subdirectory name of your choice or store them on a floppy disc. File the original *.ZIP file in a safe place & make a backup copy of the clip art files. Okay, Okay; a quick refresher course: From the DOS prompt; (exit your shell program - Word Perfect sells a nice one called OFFICE) It should look like; C> or C:\>, Enter "MD CLIPART" (no don't type the " symbols)(MD tells your computer to Make a subDirectory). You can substitute any subdirectory name (up to 8 letters) for CLIPART. Now enter "CD CLIPART". (CD = Change Directory to) Enter the DOS command "COPY A:\*.*" (use COPY B:\*.* if that's where the clipart is) to copy all the files to you hard drive. If you just did this from Windows; Enter "EXIT" to return to Windows: DON'T TYPE WIN to return to Windows (Yes Virginia, Windows is just a big beautiful GUI shell program)(if "EXIT" is responded to by - Bad Command Or File Name - then & only then Enter "WIN"). Type the command to restart your shell program. Use an UNZIP program to open the clip art files. Your in- stallation is now complete. Start your favorite application & have at. If the computer you use is on a network, discuss with your MIS people the proper procedures. If more than one user will have access to the Clip Art a Site License must be obtained. See License Section. To compress the files that make up MEDSET1A we use PKZIP from PKWARE. In our experience PKWARE's complete line of products are the best you can ask for. One utility from PKWARE (PKSFX) makes our ZIP files self- extracting & easier for the user to install. (4) REGISTRATION Why Should I Register This Clip Art? Several reasons, the least of which is that you have no rights to continue to use it if you don't.

All files must be intact & unaltered. (7) DOWN TO BUSINESS The following pages set out to explain why the images are the way they are. How to use & change them. (without trying to teach you how to use one of 25 or so different word processors, DTP or draw programs) Why have both filled (color) & line draw versions of the same image? Most clip art suppliers do this. Could be just to make the package sound better. The real answer is that not everyone has or wants to use a draw or paint program. That user needs the choice of ready to use images. If all you have is a word processor or layout program, your complaint might be, why not send each image with a left & right facing orientation in addition to left & right side & filled & line draw versions. (P.S. registered users can ask for & receive just this type of image transform for individual MEDSETs images - no charge except S&H if they can't pull the rotated image from our BBS or CompuServe) Why CGM? Or PCX? CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) format. We have chosen the CGM format for its almost universal acceptance either directly or as an import file in word processing, layout & draw programs. As an example Word Perfect Corporations (WPC), Word Perfect 5.0, 5.1, Windows & Draw Perfect 1.0, 1.1 use *.CGM files just as though they were WPC's native file format *.WPG. Other programs either use an Import feature or installed file filters to do the same thing. Native file formats can support features that CGM doesn't but don't cross to other platforms without losing some quality or requiring a special file transfer or conversion utility. For most images CGM has everything you need. Having said all that about CGM why did we produce this PCX set? From the start we planned to serve both PCX & CGM file formats. PCX is very popular & those users need to be served. The original plan was to have a simple translation program to allow the end user to change from the CGM masters to PCX files. In fact we have written that program several times. But, best laid plans of mice & men. The translator (filter) program never worked in every situation for every file without a glitch here & there. Also the fundamental difference between vector (CGM) files & bitmap (PCX) files has lead to additional & unanswered questions. Vector files don't care what size they are used at. PCX files get larger or smaller based on page size. They suffer from the dreaded jaggies - even more so when resized from the original drawing size. Our plan was to to have our translator program deal with both the size & conversion details. No such luck. When your favorite disk vendor calls & says "PCX outsells CGM - why no PCX files?" You get tired of beating your head against the wall as well as picturing orders not being made, you convert the masters to PCX & set up seperate PCX packaging. So that's the long answer to the two different file types. The difference between MEDSET1A (CGM) & MEDSET1A PCX The two sets contain identical files. There is no difference in the images. PCX files have to be set up different. All MEDSET1A PCX files are converted in Corel Draw & exported to ZSoft's Photofinish. They are then resaved at 300 (8) DPI in 256 color (files ending *******F.PCX) or 2 color (B&W line drawings in files ending *******L.PCX). If you use the files in a paint program that supports only B&W or just 16 colors try using files ending *******L.PCX. You can recolor the files in your 16 color paint program. We use 256 color paint programs to get more subtle shadings of the images (bones aren't white until they dry out). MEDSET1A PCX images are not sized to each other but have a max width of 4" & max hight of 5" (2 exceptions). Size is based on using them in a 2 column DTP type layout. A word about the testing of the PCX files - we are not as familiar with bitmapped images as we are with vector based files. Also our testing with CGM is long & intensive. PCX files are different in the way the size is used by different paint programs. As this is written the PCX files have only been tested in Z Soft's programs & Windows Paintbrush. In those programs they work fine & should work in other paint programs. A word of caution however, several of the files are quite large & run slow on our graphics work station (high end 386/40 optimized to run MS Windows based graphics programs). Some older paint programs have upper file size limits. Please feel free to comunicate any qlitches you run into using the PCX files. When I try to move my image it leaves pieces all over. why? (CGM) The image has become ungrouped, either during importing or by mistake. Bring in another copy & check to see if you can group it before you move the image. I want to save my image in another file format, how? Your draw, paint, layout or word processor may just do that for you. During translation changes my occur to the image, sometimes undesirable changes. HiJack, a program from Inset Systems seems to be the best program that specializes in image conversion. If you do this often purchasing a program just for that may be worthwhile. When I try to import a MEDSET image I have to wait a LONG time, why? Many of the drawings are large files & complex objects. The program, HD or Floppy drive speed, processor type & drawing all contribute to this. Have patience. Under some conditions you may get a FILE TOO LARGE error message. Nothing is wrong, you just tried to exceed your system limits. Sorry, in some cases the only cure for speed or combining complex graphics is an upgraded system. (9) COLORS & RESOLUTION MEDSET clip art is developed using either Corel Draw 2.01 or Harvard Draw 1.0. Each drawing is optimized on a 1024/768 256 color SVGA monitor. If you are using the clip art as part of a slide, your monitor may show the image in less than its maximum quality, but if left un- changed it will be better in the slide than on any monitor. The excep- tion to this; older film recorders using monitor resolution for output. After a MEDSET drawing is finalized it is exported in CGM format in both color filled & line draw versions. Depending on the color palette of the program you are using color changes may take place. An optimized color palette for Harvard Graphics 3.0 & Harvard Graphics for Windows is available to registered users. Using clip art in Word Perfect 5.0 & 5.1 should pose no problems with colors shifting unless your display is limited to 16 colors. If you are using the clip art in word processing or DTP layout programs you may want to use the line draw versions. Again if you are familiar with you software package you will be able to fully utilize all of the features to alter the images. In general to change color in a draw package; 1. select the image 2. ungroup the image 3. re- select the part/layer that you wish to refill in a new color 4. select fill & new color. Regroup the image. TO MOUSE OR NOT TO MOUSE One question that comes up a lot is about the actual creation of our medical clip art. While the question comes in several forms, people seem to wonder; where the ideas come from; are the drawings accurate; do we copy or scan drawings from books; or how do you draw with a mouse? Well, we don't COPY or SCAN from medical literature but we do use refference books to make sure the drawings are not incorrect. I try not to use the word accurate when referring to anatomical detail. Why? Well almost everyone's anatomical details vary in a large or small degree from the next person's. You know short people, tall people, thin people, fat people, & all the little variables that make one person different from another. I have been a medical photographer for the past twenty-three years and have done computer illustrations for the past five years. My work takes me into the operating room several times a month. Last year for the first time I saw a "normal spleen". It is true I'm usually called when the doctors want to record something for the medical records, which means I don't see anything routine as a rule. What does this have to do with using a mouse? Well it all sort of fits. When I first started doing medical illustrations on a computer I used a mouse. I found the mouse useful for many things but I never could learn to draw with one. I soon discovered that a digitizing tablet was what I needed. I tried several different manufacturers. I won't go into detail on the first three I tried, one big name and one picked for its low price. The last one I tried (it worked so well for me I quit testing different brands) was from KURTA. I used the Kurta IS/ONE in the 8 X 11 inch size. What a difference the tablet made. My drawing accuracy improved, I could draw several times faster and my wrist did not hurt anymore. The Kurta worked with Windows & had drivers for many of my DOS applications as well. Even if a dedicated driver is not available the Kurta tablet will act just like a Microsoft mouse if it needs to. The artist has a choice of several different pens, both corded and cordless as well as pucks, both corded and cordless (sort of looks like a mouse, but, is more accurate). The Kurta tablets can be programmed to work (10) with overlays and a macro like feature for complex drawing programs. I have since added a 12 X 12 inch version to my work station and find I like the larger version even better. The tablets don't use up much more desktop real estate than a mouse pad (OK the 12 X 12 does). If you like to sketch a drawing before the final version you will love the clear overlay on the top of the Kurta pad. Do a quick sketch and lift up the clear cover and use it for reference as you do the final version on the computer. If any MAC users are reading along you can get Kurta tablets too. After the purchase I had the good fortune to find the Kurta company was located in Phoenix, AZ, just a few miles from my home in Glendale. Nice for support, something Kurta is very good at. Kurta pads can be a little more complex than a mouse to set-up. This is not as big a difference as I thought it would be. When I hit a snag, rarely, Kurtas tech support has always solved my problem over the phone. I do have one complaint, I wear the paint off of the pen barrels in about a year. Guess I use it too much. SIZE, ROTATION & MIRROR Using your draw program you can re-size, flop & rotate these images. Try this to add spice to your slides or articles. Some layout programs & Windows based word processing programs also allow this to a limited degree. These images will hold their quality when re-sized. Only if converted to a bit-mapped image for use in a paint program do the images suffer in quality when re-sized. (HINT use a draw program to re-size to the required dimensions then convert to a bit-mapped file. TEXT & ARROWS With very few exceptions MEDSET images contain no text or arrows pointing to land marks. The images are designed to let the user point out as much or as little as needed to illustrate only the point they wish to make. (Besides this cuts down on letters telling me I need to retake basic anatomy.) Your draw or graphics program generally supports these needs quite nicely. Corel Draw has the largest (I think) on board support for this type of embellishments. In Corel, select the text tool & while holding down the shift key click on the drawing where you want the symbol. A new option box will open & list 3000 arrows, lines & symbols. Almost enough reason to buy Corel Draw for that feature. EQUAL TIME You may have noticed the reference to Harvard Draw 1.0 as one of the programs used to develop MEDSET clip art. Since I just mentioned how much I like Corel Draw's symbols section, I must confess most of the drawing is now done in Harvard Draw. After years of being a loyal Corel Draw user I switched to Harvard Draw. Why? Speed. Speed & more SPEED. (11) Harvard Draw is much faster than Corel in many aspects. It is faster in file save & retrieve. It's faster in screen rewrite time & faster as it manipulates complex objects during export. Another big plus is that I can draw with a full color image in front of me not just a wire frame. I no longer have to switch back & forth to see my drawings or my mistakes. In addition a contour selection is part of the fill choices. Most all our new MEDSET drawings are now created using Harvard Draw. I create many slide shows in Harvard Graphics, both DOS versions & now for Windows. Harvard Draw has a direct export feature to the various HG* file formats. While Corel Draw does offer some features that are not supported by Harvard Draw, they are features that I, A. Never Use; or B. Hardly Ever Use. That may be different in your particular applications, but with me speed wins every time. Having the luxury of both programs is great, but right now if I could have only one, Harvard Draw 1.0 gets my vote over Corel Draw 2.01. VIRUSES All MEDSET clip art is created on a desktop PC that has no program or file loaded that is not scanned carefully for viruses. Before shipping, distribution or uploading each MEDSET group is once again check for the presence of more than 1100 viruses. We currently use Virus Scan 86B from McCaffee & Associates. (This is another one of the programs that does its job better than any other we have found.) After the files leave us many things can happen. We recommend that everyone check their own computers as often as they feel comfortable. Viruses should not cause hysteria among computer users, but "An ounce of prevention, Oh, you know the rest". PRINTING, OR OUTPUT Output is what this clip art is all about. We want this clip art to help the user communicate or educate in a better, easier or more timely manner. The color filled images are meant for screen display or to be used in slides or overheads. The line images are meant for word processing, layout or Desk Top Publishing programs. Following this general rule of thumb should make output a trouble free process. With many of the new color output devices this line has begun to blur. MEDSET clip art in the CGM format is a vector image & re-sizing does not degrade the image as it does in bit mapped files. Keep in mind, the more complex images in the collection may be more of a problem if your try & shrink them to too small a size. This occurs when the resolution of the output device can no longer resolve the individual lines of a drawing. Try to set printer resolutions to; Graphics = high, whenever possible. Set the dots per inch setting to 300 DPI if that is a choice. This may slow down the printer, but the quality will be much better. In slide output ask for a 4K (4000 lines per inch) resolution. Again this increases the length of time the output device needs. Some slide services charge different rates for 2K & 4K output. Experimentation & program knowledge will be the best way to determine how each setting on your particular application will interact with output quality. Almost everyone tries something new even when deadlines are tight. You live through it & eventually learn not to. Well, hopefully. (12) CUSTOM CLIP ART What is custom clip art? Well your company logo would qualify. So would a sketch, photograph or technical drawing of a tool or other piece of hardware. If someone in your company draws a cartoon & you want to included it in a slide show, the cartoon can be converted to clip art. The clip art image can then be used in slide shows, electronic (multimedia) presentations or DTP. How much does it cost? I wish this question had an easy answer. We have an hourly rate for art work & scanning with a minimum charge for each. Once your image arrives we will call or FAX you a firm quote. A simple line drawing may run $40.00, a complex color matched image can go as high as several hundred. What can I submit? Just about image can be converted to clip art. ONE VERY BIG EXCEPTION: COPYRIGHTED IMAGES! OKAY, pay close attention to the following WARNING! Copyrighted images that; A. You don't own the copyright to outright - B. You don't have express written permission to reproduce - WILL NOT BE REPRODUCED! NO EXCEPTIONS Please don't ask or try to slip in an image you don't have the right to copy. In general, any book, pamphlet, printed cartoon, magazine, sales literature or drug company handouts can't be reproduced. Ask the copyright owner for written permission if you must have the image. Send a copy of that written permission with your submission. If you need Ray Litman Photo Graphic to act as your agent & secure the permission for you we will ATTEMPT to do that. No guarantee of success can be made in advance & we charge for all time & expenses no matter what the outcome. An estimate of this must be paid in advance. Most authors or artist want the request in writing & several weeks can pass during this process. Image conversion can't start till the copyright release is obtained. Okay I own the image, can we just FAX you a copy? NO, NO, & NO. We have tried this in the past & FAX transmissions can loose important detail. Plan ahead, send (US mail, UPS, FedEx) a quality line drawing or finished art work in a proper shipping container. If a color match is important, samples with Pantone numbers (ask your artist) need to be included. Otherwise, we will try for a best color match possible.

Any program we haven't tested is just not listed. * Software Publishing Corp. has some programs that are limited in the size or complexity of the CGM files that they accept. These programs will load all files in MEDSET1 on our test computers. Some files take several minutes to convert, they are very large files. One example; FLLSKLAF & FLLSKLAL give error messages in HG for Windows, but still load. Redoing the files as HGFLSKAF & HGFLSKAL they now load without the error message. Both versions are included in MEDSET1B, the bonus pack to MEDSET1A. Rather than limit the image for every program the six HG*.CGM files were the way we solved the problem. ** This older version of HG is VERY limited in file size & complexity (# of nodes). Many of the files will import through HG's program Draw Partner. Many won't. Rather than set all files to the lowest level program we recommend you contact SPC to upgrade your program. See the "Other Products Section" (15) FILE NAMES We have tried to find a method that makes our file names understandable. Some clip art companies just number their files. The user must return each time to an illustrated manual to determine what is in a particular file. We do offer (see registration section) a printed manual with image gallery to registered users & this does give a quick overall view of what is in each MEDSET. While this is very useful, as a reminder, I would not want to look up images 10 or 15 times while I prepare a slide show. So ... each file name breaks down into a pattern. Using the 8 letters that DOS allows (yes DOS file names can be larger, but no one I know of uses that method) the first 6 letters become what is hoped to be a descriptive title or an abbreviated descriptive title. The 7th location will be a letter that describes the point of view for the drawing. Those letters will be; A for anterior, P for posterior, L for lateral, M for medial, S for superior or I for inferior. The 8th location will be either an F or an L indicating Filled or Line drawing. Some examples follow: VERTLUMLF.* = Vertebra, Lumbar, Lateral, Filled (color added) BRAIN1SL.* = Brain, 1st of several, Superior, Line Drawing CRSSPTAF.* = Crisis Patient, Anterior, Filled RPRO1MLL.* = Reproductive System, 1st of several, Male, Lateral, Line Drawing HRTINTAF.* = Heart, Interior, Anterior, Filled NLBP1SLL.* = Needle Biopsy, 1st of several, Lateral, Line BIOHAZSF.* = BioHarzard, Symbol, Filled XRSZ1FLL.* = Exercise, 1st of several, Female, Lateral, Line Drawing Please note the names included as examples are a cross section of names from different MEDSET collections. The names are not necessarily from the collection you are using or have registered. During use you may find MEDSET clip art image names too vague. If you come up with better or more descriptive names for various files, please send them to us. Please try to follow our naming convention. We are always open to suggestions.

Registered users who show an interest are sent test images from time to time & ask for feed back. The dates are ones we feel will be meet. Disclaimer time: We reserve the right to change any image or group of images, as necessary, without notice. The timetable above is an estimate & should not be relied upon in anyway. The ability to deliver image groups as set forth should not be considered a promise or promise to perform. Guess what, some groups MAY be ready early. (19) TECHNICAL SUPPORT What do you offer in the way of technical support & how do I get it? What we offer is very simple, to our registered users we offer to help resolve conflicts in: 1. Loading 2. Use 3. Output Since we have only the programs listed in the "Tested Products" section the support for other programs may be advice only. We will try to make sure the product is usable & the customer is getting the output they need. As mentioned we will also rotate or mirror images for registered users that need that service. (yes there really are people who do layout only) If that need arises & you can't find local help, tell us which image & how you need it. We will change it & put it on CompuServe, or our BBS for downloading. We will also mail out the change(s) on disk for a $5.00 media & S&H fee. How do I reach you? Three ways.

Thanks (20) OTHER PRODUCTS MEDSET-HG-SYM For Harvard Graphics 2.3 we do have a special set of Medical SYM files that are a grouping from all MEDSETs & are drawn with the limits of that program as the guide. MEDSET-HG-SYM is $40.00 & contains 230 files. HG 2.1, 2.3, 3.0 SPELL CHECKER This is a shareware spell check medical dictionary addition for these Software Publishing Corp. programs; they contain several thousand medical terms. They replace the personal spell check files. Just copy them to the sub-directory where your HG program resides. Next time you spell check in Harvard Graphics your medical terms won't pop up as Word Not Found or nearly as often. We need to know which Harvard Graphic version you have. HG MEDCHECK is a $6.00 registration. HEIDI TTFONT & Corel Font An all caps headline (shareware) typeface. A bold face that is one I saw in a type book & liked, then couldn't find from any source. I created it in Corel Draw to look similar to the face I liked & named it for my daughter. HEIDI is in either True Type or Corel Draw compatibly style. HEIDITTF or HEIDI_CD is just an $8.00 registration. (21)
