- ABOUT NEOSOFT ICON EDITOR
- -------------------------
-
- NeoSoft's Icon Editor is quite possibly the best, most
- comprehensive utility available for creating and editing Windows
- ICO format icons. Extensive tools include: brush, line, circle,
- rectangle, flood fill, rotate, flip, area select, text, nudge and
- zoom. Transparent areas may be easily painted onto the icon image
- to allow background colors to show through. NeoSoft Icon Editor
- easily works with multiple icons at the same time for easy cut and
- paste between images. These powerful functions and NeoSoft's easy-
- to-use interface make painting your own icon-sized pictures a snap!
- The NeoSoft Icon Editor imports BMP format bitmapped images and
- even imports icons contained within Windows program EXE and DLL
- files. Also features context-sensitive help, undo and Windows
- clipboard support. Requires Windows 3.1 or higher. Windows 95
- compatible. $19.95 + S&H

- INSTALLING NEOSOFT ICON EDITOR
- ------------------------------
-
- Before you can begin using NeoSoft Icon Editor you must run the
- NeoSoft Icon Editor Setup program from Windows. In most cases you
- cannot simply copy the software onto your hard drive. The files on
- the NeoSoft distribution disks are stored in a special compressed
- form to save space. The Setup program is the only way to insure
- that NeoSoft Icon Editor is properly unpacked and installed. To
- install NeoSoft Icon Editor, follow the steps below:
-
- NOTE: Depending on where you obtained your copy of this
- program, you may not need to run Setup - so don't panic if
- you can't find it. If you have a file named NSICON.EXE, you
- basically have the entire program. Just copy that file to
- your hard drive in a directory of your choice and launch it
- from the Windows Program Manager, File Manager or Windows 95
- Explorer.
-
- 1. Start Windows.
-
- 2. If you received NeoSoft Icon Editor on diskette, place it into
- the floppy drive now. If you downloaded NeoSoft Icon Editor in
- archived format, use PKUNZIP to uncompress the files to a
- working directory on your hard disk.
-
- 3. Activate the Windows Program Manager.
-
- 4. Select "Run..." from the Program Manager's "File" menu. If you
- are using Windows 95, the "Run" option can be selected from the
- "Start" menu.
-
- 5. In the "Command Line" field enter one of the following:
-
- - If you placed the NeoSoft Icon Editor diskette into drive
- A:, type: A:\SETUP
-
- - If you placed the NeoSoft Icon Editor diskette into drive
- B:, type: B:\SETUP
-
- - If you downloaded the NeoSoft Icon Editor, type:
- C:\DIRNAME\SETUP (Remember to replace DIRNAME with the name
- of the directory where you uncompressed the NeoSoft Icon
- Editor's files.)
-
- 6. Follow the instructions on the screen.

- CUSTOMER SERVICES & TECHNICAL SUPPORT
- -------------------------------------
-
- NeoSoft provides its registered software customers with free
- technical support. We also provide limited technical support to
- persons evaluating our products during the 30 day evaluation
- period.
-

- development and support is very expensive and we need your help if

- support, product update notification, special discounts, new
