- GDS - Graphics Display System

-
- DESCRIPTION OF SOFTWARE
-
- WHAT IS GDS?
- GDS is a graphics image tool. It helps make manipulating image files
- easier for you, the user.
-
- $35.00 - Registered user version
-
- WHO NEEDS GDS?
- People who want to view and play with image files. If you hate typical
- software and would rather have something which is reliable and gets the
- job done, then look at GDS.
-
- WHO SAYS?
- CompuServe invented GIF. Which program do CompuServe's system operators
- trust to view and catalog their files? GDS.
-
- Tens of thousands of people around the world using GDS. Among them are
- some of the largest and most reputable companies in the world. Some of
- them include: Microsoft, IBM, Intel, National Geographic, the Smithsonian
- Institute, CompuServe, Epson America, Microtek, U.S. Department of
- Defense, Mobil Oil, AutoDesk, Art Imaging Services, Hercules Tech.,
- Digital Vision, and more.
-
- WHY PAY $35.00 TO REGISTER?
- The free version is perfect for the user who isn't particularly serious
- about graphics files. If you just want to view pictures, then don't
- bother registering. Just use the free version forever.
-
- On the other hand, the $35.00 version is an invaluable tool for those
- who need higher performance. If there are things about the free version
- which you find frustrating, then you know enough about graphics and
- image processing to really value what GDS does for you. With this in
- mind, price tag for having a registered copy of GDS, a bound manual and
- free updates for a year is trivial.
-
- HOW FAST CAN I GET IT?
- Call us today and we can Federal Express your VISA or MasterCard order
- immediately.
