Including Mobile Screen Show Player

If you include Mobile Screen Show Player with your compressed file, you can show a Freelance Graphics presentation on any Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 computer.

If you already have Mobile Screen Show Player on your computer, you can include it now with your compressed presentation files.

2.	Click Next.

Note	If you select to "include Mobile..." and you do not have the Mobile Screen Show player on your computer, you will get a message. To include the Mobile Screen Show Player, it must be installed on your computer (the file MOBILESS.EXE must be located in the FLG directory). You can install the Mobile Screen Show Player by selecting "Customize features - Manual install" when you install Freelance Graphics.  If Freelance Graphics is already installed, run install, select "Customize features - Manual install," and choose only the Mobile Screen Show Player.

Introduction to Save and Go

Save and Go compresses and saves one or more presentations to floppy disks or another destination you specify. Then, you can decompress your files and show your presentation on another Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 computer.

The following files are saved to the destination:

•	A compressed version of the presentation file(s) as well as any embedded media files.

•	The SNGSetup utility which decompresses the presentation file(s) on the destination computer.

•	(Optional) A compressed version of the Mobile Screen Show Player. This allows you to show the presentation on a Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 computer, even if the computer does not have Freelance Graphics installed on it.

Tip	If your presentation contains fonts that are not installed on the destination computer, Freelance substitutes a similar font. If you want to use a specific font in your presentation, you need to install the font on the destination  computer.

Note	You can install the Mobile Screen Show Player by selecting "Customize features - Manual install" when you install Freelance Graphics. If Freelance Graphics is already installed, run install, select "Customize features - Manual install," and choose only the Mobile Screen Show Player.


The Mobile Screen Show Player

The Mobile Screen Show Player is a separate application that runs externally to Freelance Graphics. You can use the player to assemble and play screen shows using existing Freelance Graphics presentation files. The Save and Go feature in Freelance Graphics also makes use of the Mobile Screen Show Player. For more information on Save and Go see, Introduction to Save and Go.

Software availability

Anyone running Windows 95 or Windows NT 4 or later can use the player. You can e-mail a compressed version of the player to other users, so they can view your presentation files.
