   If you would like to purchase a CD that contains 
   the latest BitrateCalc, MSPlotter (fractal AVI maker),
   TimeTest (prints math drills/worksheets for kids),
   RDM (Stereogram "Magic Eye" maker), and a few of my other
   programs please send $24 dollars with your name and
   address and you will be sent a CD. Please include a note
   as to what the money is for.

2. How to load photos into the image list.

   First: Go to the 'Image List' menu and click 'Add Image Files'.

   Second: Navigate to the drive and folder where your images are
           contained.

   Third: Select the type of picture files you are searching
          for (Bitmap, JPEG, GIF, or all).

   Fourth: Select multiple images by using the Ctrl and Shift keys
           or right-click and choose 'Select All'.

           Ctrl: selects multiple images one at a time and is used
           by holding down the Ctrl key while clicking each desired
           image.

           Shift: selects all the images from point A point B. To
           use it, select the first image in the folder, then,
           while holding Shift, scroll down to an image below it
           and click it. This trick is a common one throughout
           Windows programs.

3. 2GB file size limit.

   Due to the limitations of the standard AVI format, AVI files
   created that are greater than 2GB will not function properly
   if at all. This limit was brought about by the geniouses at
   Microsoft. I give them a 10 for smart thinking. Why doesn't
   this program stop you from creating a file bigger than 2GB's?
   Because the genious here at ASW software doesn't want to
   think about that right now.

   There is a new AVI format out there called openDML or AVI 2.0.
   It can have a maximum file size that is so big that a 1000GB
   hard drive wouldn't even come close to holding it. We hope
   to add AVI 2.0 functionality in this program soon.

   (ohh ya, when I said I give Microsoft a 10 for smart thinking,
    I meant on a scale of 10 to 100) :)

4. Miscellaneous.

   -Currently only wav audio is supported.

   -AVI duration will be longer than the estimated video
    length if the audio duration is longer than the video length.

   -To visit ASW Software, go to the 'Help' menu and click 'About'
    and click where it says 'Website: ASW Software'.
