- by John Prass
- Release date April 1996
-
-
- General Description
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Comview was written as an offline viewer for the electronic comic book series
- NanoWars. However, Comview is an excellent general purpose utility to create
- your own multimedia books, slideshows and presentations.
-
- Simply build a data file [ascii text] that contains the file names of your
- graphics. A separate sound file can also be attached to each graphics page,
- allowing you to add a "soundtrack" to your visual display.
-
-
- ComView Quick Start
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 1. Unzip COMVIEW.ZIP to a directory of your choice.
-
- 2. Unzip the included EXAMPLES.ZIP to the same directory.
-
- 3. Use the Windows Run Option to execute "COMVIEW.EXE TEST.DAT"
- This will load a sample data file displaying two graphics.
-
- An alternative way to do this: Run ComView, when prompted,
- load the data file TEST.DAT using the dialog box.
