- NakedEye Version 1.0.2
- A SuperVga GIF viewer
- April 1992, Wollongong City, Australia
-
- This distribution of the SuperVGA GIF viewer "NakedEye" comes with
- the following files. There are some extra files but they are not
- very important.
-
- 1 - Ne.exe The executable
- 2 - Svga256.bgi SuperVga Video Driver
- 3 - NakedEye.cfg Optional configuration file
- 4 - Gothic.chr Gothic font file
- 5 - Litt.chr Little font file
- 6 - Stories.rc File of funny messages
- 7 - NakedEye.hlp Help file (command summary)
- 8 - README This file itself
- 9 - NakedEye.TXT User guide in TEXT format
- 10 - Register.TXT Register form for NakedEye in TEXT format
- 11 - NakedEye.key Registered key (after registration)
- 12 - Note.txt Up-to-date notes of changes
- 13 - Rotate.exe Help NakedEye rotate small raster quickly
- 14 - Rsize.exe Help NakedEye resize small raster quickly
- 15 - Talker.exe A program speaks English, telling messages
- 16 - Sbtalker.exe Sound Blaster speech driver
- 17 - Remove.exe Unload the speech driver Sbtalker.exe
- 18 - NakedEye.SND Sample GIF <-> VOC (sound) association file
-
- Some sample GIF files are included for your enjoyment. They are of
- Australiana characters and I hope the overseas folks will like them.
- This is NOT in the distribution on a network because GIF files are
- too big! Some VOC files for music are also included but again, the
- distribution on the network will not have them. NakedEye will now
- play music at your command when you enjoy looking at the GIF files.
- (A Sound Blaster card is assumed)
-
- To get started simply copy all these files into a directory, edit
- NakedEye.cfg if you wish, but this can be done later when you already
- know a bit more about NakedEye. There is no need for configuring
- NakedEye for your video card. If it does not work with your video
- then this version does not work with your machine! Simple as that.
-
- That's it! now run it the way you normally run DOS programs. I would
- not recommend running NakedEye from a floppy disk! It is now an overlay
- program (to save memory). It will be very slow when run from a
- floppy disk.
-
- Example: NE *.gif
-
- You would normally need a mouse to use NakedEye properly. If you have
- no mouse then please read the user guide now in NakedEye.TXT . If you
- have a Sound Blaster card and would like to listen to music when looking
- at the GIF files, you should look at editing a GIF <-> VOC association
- file. Please look at the files NOTE.TXT and NakedEye.SND for more
- details. It is essential that you read the file NOTE.TXT because it will
- be the place all new information is stored. I have not written a new
- manual for the software.
-
- Hope you will enjoy NakedEye!

- CONDITIONS
- ----------
- You can use an unregistered copy software without any condition. In
- this sense NakedEye is a HAPPY software. All you have to do is to
- smile every time you use it!
-
- If you simply a user (not a company) and you think that you can make
- money out of it, please do! even if you do not want to share it with
- me and you must distribute it ABSOLUTELY unmodified!!!
-
- I suppose no one would want to register now because I have removed all
- the restrictions on unregistered copies. I will update registered users
- with the next version. This is perhaps the only incentive left for
- users to register. The reason I remove all restriction from this version
- because the next one will be very different, and people may like to
- keep this version because it is very stable.
-
- FREE OFFER
- ----------
- If you support any environmental organisation for instance Green Peace.
- You are welcome to have a free copy of this software (and all updates).
- Simply send your registration form in with
-
- - Some proof to show that you are what you claimed to be (such as
- a photocopy of a donation receipt).
- - A small amount of money to cover the postage and diskettes
- say $5 US
-
- A registered copy of this software will be forwarded to you and no
- further question asked. Of course whatever document you send in will
- be returned with the software.
