Foundation Factory Version 2, Standard Edition, Volume 1 ReadMe
Welcome this edition of Foundation Factory! We have a new interface and the blocks are displayed using fabric scans from Benartex.
Part of the new interface is that if you own multiple versions of Foundation Factory (there are two, so far) then you can view all of your blocks in a single program. Note that in order to do this, your other versions of Foundation Factory must have already been installed to your hard disk before you installed this one.
This installer will search for existing Foundation Factory installations and automatically add them to this version. As of the time of the release of this program, there were only two other Foundation Factory versions, the original Foundation Factory (which this version replaces) and the Carol Doak Edition. All future versions of Foundation Factory will integrate with this one.
This version of Foundation Factory includes a copy of the blocks which can be installed in your Quilt-Pro Block library. These blocks may be used with Quilt-Pro version 2.6 or higher. If you have a lower version number, check our web site at http://www.quiltpro.com for an update. You may also contact tech support for a free patch diskette. The version number of Quilt-Pro may be found by choosing the Help menu, then About Quilt-Pro.
Because of the use of fabric scans, we highly recommend that you set you system to display more than 256 colors. Foundation Factory will run on a system with only 256 colors, but looks much better with 32k or more. To change the number of colors displayed on your system, click on the Start Menu. Then Settings and Control Panel. Double click on the Display icon. Choose the Settings tab on the Display Properties dialog. One of the settings is called 'Color Palette'. If your system says 16 or 256 colors, you should change it to a higher number. If the only choices available are 16 or 256, you might need a new video driver or a new video card. See you system manufacturer or local computer store about this.
There is one known problem when running on a system with 256 colors. If you display help in Foundation Factory, when you exit the help, your block pictures may look strange. If this happens, click on another folder in the list to the left of the block pictures, then click on the folder you were looking at before.
