Originally Produced April 3rd, 1992 by Screen Artists Volume 1.1
Updated & Republished 22nd January 1994 by UNICA Ltd Volume 1.2

---Instructions--------
The following batch files have been provided in the root directory to
facilitate your viewing.
o GO.BAT will play Autodesk Animator FLI files.
o SBGO.BAT will play Animator FLI files accompanied by music if you have a
Sound Blaster.
o SBPROGO.BAT will play Animator FLI files accompanied by music if you have a
Sound Blaster Pro
o SB16GO.BAT will play Animator FLI files accompanied by music if you have a
Sound Blaster 16
For the SoundBlaster support to work correctly please check these two items:
- MMPLAY.EXE and CT-VOICE.DRV are in a directory in your search path.
- The SOUND environment variable correctly indicates the location of the
\SB or \SBPRO or \SB16 directory.
o PICTURES.BAT will display digitised GIF pictures in 640x480x256 if you have
Tseng 4000 based SVGA card. If your SVGA is not based on the Tseng 4000 use
the VPIC GIF viewer that can be found in \PROGRAMS\VPIC.ZIP.
o JOE.BAT prepares a fun demo about the adventures of Joe Turner the Hacker
Monk.
o HSVINST.BAT installs a demo version of Hot Sound & Vision, the largest
collection of graphics and demos available on any CD-ROM.
There is much, much more to this CD-ROM than has been included in these batch
files. There are dozens of rolling product demos, 100s of images and a wide
range of graphic oriented utilities included.

---About this CD-ROM---
All of the graphics and programs on this CD-ROM have been provided by their
creators. In almost all all cases, credit has been given to those responsible
for creating these works of computer art. Most of the files are listed below
the credit of the person or company that contributed it. As the vast majority
of the contributors use CompuServe, their account numbers have been included
whenever possible.
When Nimbus Information Systems offered to press Screen Artists Limited a CD-
ROM for free, they realized that they would never even begin to fill it to
capacity. As they had a tremendous amount of space available, they decided to
produce this collection. Using CompuServe, they put out the word and what you
have is the result of their efforts.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
UNICA intends to produce follow ups to this CD-ROM in the future and would
appreciate any contributions sent to the following address in either Floppy,
CD-R or DAT format.
We will send 10 copies of the next volume to all contributors whose work is
included. Please include a signed statement that you created the work that
you have provided and as such you hold copyright to the material.
