This is the README.TXT file for Microangelo GIFted, a
product designed specifically for creating and editing
GIF image and animation files. GIFted requires either
the Windows 95 or Windows NT (4.0 or higher) operating
platform.
INSTALLING Microangelo GIFted
-----------------------------
The GIFted package includes a graphical Windows
installation program. Copy or unzip the set of files
that accompany this README.TXT file to a floppy diskette
ot into a temporary folder. Then run the SETUP program
from the diskette or temporary folder.
DOCUMENTATION
-------------
Setup installs a Quickstart User Manual and displays this
manual at the conclusion of Setup. The Quickstart guide
contains important information and tips to help get the
most out of GIFted.
We recommend printing out the Quickstart guide and reviewing
before you use GIFted or very soon. It really does contain
useful information that might be otherwise overlooked.
Also, a thorough and concise set of online Help files
provide excellent information on program specifics and step-
by-step instructions to help you when you need it most -
while you work. You can access online help through the
Contents window where the information is organized into
books and chapters, or go directly to the Index window to
look for specific references and keywords to help you locate
the information that you are looking for.
REGISTRATION
------------
Microangelo GIFted is not free software. It is released as
shareware, which provides the opportunity for the program to
be evaluated before it is purchased.
We hope that when you try GIFted you will like it so
much that you will want to register. By doing so you are
voting with your pocketbook for us to continue developing
high-quality, Windows shareware.
Complete information on how to register GIFted is included
in the REGISTER.RTF file. Microangelo GIFted Setup
installs a start menu entry titled Microangelo Print
Registration Form that allows you to print the form from
your Start menu. If you wish to remove the entry and are
not familiar with how to do so, instructions are provided
to remove the entry in the form itself.
Acknowledgements and Sincere Thanks
-----------------------------------
Our biggest thanks go to those of you who are our
customers - who enjoy and register our software. We
work hard to earn your support, and we thank each of
you for allowing us to provide you with great software
like Microangelo GIFted.
One last thought... We'd like to continue to do more -
so please, *register* this software if you continue to
*use it* past the agreed evaluation period.

And now, the legalese section...
