- FILE DISTRIBUTION
-
- Calendar Critters I is shipped in a compressed format. We use PK-Zip
- Products to achieve our compressed files. While we prefer the
- self-extracting style, many BBSs don't allow EXE files as there can be a
- problem with viruses. We offer both CALCRT_1.ZIP & CALCRT_1.EXE to BBSs
- & Shareware vendors so that they can choose the format that suits their
- needs. From either compressed file what makes up a complete set for
- Calendar Critters I is 50 PCX images, (listed on page 10) MANUAL21.TXT,
- RGISTR21.TXT, README21.TXT, OMBUDSMN.ASP, & FILE_ID.DIZ.
-
- The files are distributed as SHAREWARE clip art. The concept of
- shareware clip art is very simple, you may examine the clip art before
- you register it. This allows you to decide if it meets your needs in
- many different ways (beats reading the ad hype on the side of the
- package in the software store). If it doesn't meet your needs you aren't
- out any money. (In some cases you may have had to pay a distributor a
- few dollars for the disks & shipping & handling.)
-
- You must register (i.e. pay the author a registration fee) to use the
- clip art in any other way. Evaluating the clip doesn't mean to try out
- the images in a publication or presentation.
-
- If you don't register Shareware, authors have no incentive to produce
- new or refine the existing shareware.
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- That heading may be somewhat misleading, but I don't have a better
- title. This product is distributed as shareware & will be in a ZIP
- format. If you are reading this manual either from the screen of your
- word processor, editor or in printed form you already have access to all
- the files. This manual is not meant to substitute for your DOS/Windows
- manual, instructions for your word processor, layout, paint or draw
- program.
-
- In this file the assumption (yes I'm aware of that connotation) is made
- that you have a good understanding of Windows or DOS & are familiar with
- the program that you choose to use with the Calendar Critters I Clip Art
-
- If you have specific questions about the software you use with Calendar
- Critters I ... join a local users group, spend sometime haunting the
- counter of a good software store, call the help line of the software
- manufacturer, go to your public library & check out one of the many good
- books for new users, take an adult education course at your community
- college (Making Friends With My PC 101), get a subscription to a
- computer magazine or as a last resort spend some time reading your
- software's instruction manual.
-
- Having said all that, Use Windows' File Manager to create a sub
- directory & copy the clip art files to your hard drive under the sub
- directory name of your choice. File the original disk in a safe place &
- perhaps even make a backup copy of the clip art files.
-
- Okay, Okay; For DOS users a quick refresher course: From the DOS prompt;
- (exit your shell program - Word Perfect sells a nice one called OFFICE)
- It should look like; C> or C:\>, Enter "MD CLIPART" (no don't type the "
- symbols)(MD tells your computer to Make a sub directory). You can
- substitute any sub directory name (up to 8 letters) for CLIPART. Now
- enter "CD CLIPART". (CD = Change Directory to) Enter the DOS command
- "COPY A:\*.*" (use COPY B:\*.* if that's where the clip art is) to copy
- all the files to you hard drive. If you just did this from Windows;
- Enter "EXIT" to return to Windows: DON'T TYPE WIN to return to Windows
- (Yes Virginia, Windows is just a big beautiful GUI shell program)(if
- "EXIT" is responded to by - Bad Command Or File Name - then & only then
- Enter "WIN"). Type the command to restart your shell program. Your
- installation is now complete. Start your favorite application & have at
- it.
-
- If the computer you use is on a network, discuss with your MIS people
- the proper procedures. If more than one user will have access to the
- Clip Art a Site License must be obtained. See License Section.
-
- REGISTRATION
-
- Why Should I Register This Clip Art?
-
- Several reasons, the least of which is that you have no rights to
- continue to use it if you don't. The 50 Calendar Critters I clip art
- images are copyrighted to Ray Litman & registration under the terms of
- the license agreement is what gives you the legal right to use it to
- produce presentations or publications. Second, only registered users are
- entitled to product updates for a nominal S&H fee. Third, technical
- support, this covers answering questions & Critters image manipulation.
- Fourth, 15% discount on custom clip art. Last, but not least, registered
- users can purchase unpublished bonus sets of clip art & files that
- augment each Critters Set. If for ANY reason a RLPG Clip Art disk is
- EVER damaged or unreadable, return it with $5.00 S&H, for replacement.
- (This will be a floppy of your choice -- to replace a CD-ROM you must
- contact that specific distributor.)

- computer files.
-
- LIMITED WARRANTY:
-
- The clip art is provided for your use "as is". User is responsible to

- it is or becomes defective, upon return of the defective disk & a $5.00

-
- SITE LICENSE FEES:
-
- One $19.95 registration fee plus $5.00 for each node of the network that
- will utilize the clip art.
-
- DISTRIBUTION:
-
- You may feel free to make copies of the Calendar Critters I & give,
- loan, upload to BBS or associate, after registration, charge a per disk
- fee not to exceed $5.00 to cover your cost, as long as MANUAL21.*,
- RGISTR21.*, README21.*, OMBUDSMN.ASP, & FILE_ID.DIZ are included with
- the 50 image files. All files must be intact & unaltered.
-
- DOWN TO BUSINESS
-
- The following pages set out to explain why the images are the way they
- are. How to use & change them. (without trying to teach you how to use
- one of 25 or so different word processors, DTP or draw programs)
-
- Why have only line draw versions?
-
- This image set is intended for Desk Top Publishing & communications
- documents and the vast majority of these are simple black ink on paper
- affairs. If all you have is a word processor or layout program, your
- question might be, why are the color images not printing well? (P.S.
- registered users can ask for & receive just this type of image transform
- for individual Calendar Critters images - no charge except S&H if they
- can't pull the altered image from our BBS)
-
- Why PCX? Am I just limited to a Paint Program?
-
- This set is PCX only because our vendors, Distributors & BBSs keep
- saying PCX is 10 to 1 more popular than any other format. Since this is
- being setup to be part of a CD-ROM/Disk Vendor/BBS distribution disk and
- we never know where, who or how the images may be used or needed. So
- popularity wins. PCX is almost universal in acceptance either directly
- or as an import file in word processing, DTP layout & draw programs. As
- an example Word Perfect Corporations (WPC), Word Perfect 5.0, 5.1,
- Windows & Draw Perfect 1.0, 1.1 use *.PCX files just as though they were
- WPC's native file format *.WPG. Other programs either use an Import
- feature or installed file filters to do the same thing. Native file
- formats can support features that PCX doesn't but don't cross to other
- platforms without losing some quality or requiring a special file
- transfer or conversion utility. For most images PCX has almost
- everything you need. (As long as they aren't re-sized)
-
- When I try to move my image it leaves pieces all over. why?
-
- The image has become un-grouped, either during importing or by mistake.
- Bring in another copy & check to see if you can group it before you move
- the image.
-
- I want to save my image in another file format, how?
-
- Use your paint or draw program to do just that. During translation
- changes my occur to the image, sometimes undesirable changes. If this
- happens you might try HiJaak, a program from Inset Systems seems to be
- the best program that specializes in image conversion. If you do this
- often purchasing a program just for conversion that may be worthwhile.
-
- COLORS & RESOLUTION
-
- Calendar Critters clip art is developed using either Corel Draw 4.0 or
- Harvard Draw 1.1. Each drawing is optimized on a 1024/768 256 color SVGA
- monitor. The clip art is exported at 300DPI resolution in a size we hope
- meets the needs of most of our clients. After a Calendar Critters
- drawing is finalized it was saved in Corel Draw 4.0 format in both CDR &
- PCX versions. If you are using the clip art in word processing or DTP
- layout programs you will want to use line drawn clip art for most
- images. Again if you are familiar with you software package you will be
- able to fully utilize all of the features to alter the images. In
- general to change to color in a paint package; 1. select the image 2.
- use programs command to convert to, say 256 colors 3. fill the colors
- where you want them.
-
-
- PRINTING, OR OUTPUT
-
- Output is what this clip art is all about. We want this clip art to help
- the user communicate or educate in a better, easier or more timely
- manner. These line images are meant for word processing, layout or Desk
- Top Publishing programs. Calendar Critters clip art in the PCX format is
- a bit-map image & re-sizing might degrade the image as it does with any
- bit mapped file. This also occurs when the resolution of the output
- device can no longer resolve the individual lines of a drawing. Try to
- set printer resolutions to; Graphics = high, whenever possible. Set the
- dots per inch setting to 300 DPI if that is a choice. This may slow down
- the printer, but the quality will be much better. Experimentation &
- program knowledge will be the best way to determine how each setting on
- your particular application will interact with output quality. Almost
- everyone tries something new even when deadlines are tight. You live
- through it & eventually learn not to. Well, hopefully.
-
- CUSTOM CLIP ART
-
- What is custom clip art?
-
- Well your company logo would qualify. So would a sketch, photograph or
- technical drawing of a tool or other piece of hardware. If someone in
- your company draws a cartoon & you want to included it in a slide show,
- the cartoon can be converted to clip art. The clip art image can then be
- used in slide shows, electronic (multimedia) presentations or DTP.
- How much does it cost?
-
- I wish this question had an easy answer. We have an hourly rate for art
- work & scanning with a minimum charge for each. Once your image arrives
- we will call or FAX you a firm quote. A simple line drawing may run
- $40.00, a complex color matched image can go as high as several hundred.
-
- What can I submit?
-
- Just about image can be converted to clip art. ONE VERY BIG EXCEPTION:
- COPYRIGHTED IMAGES!
-
- OKAY, pay close attention to the following WARNING!
-
- Copyrighted images that;
-
- A. You don't own the copyright to outright -
-
- B. You don't have express written permission to reproduce -
-
- WILL NOT BE REPRODUCED! NO EXCEPTIONS
-
- Please don't ask or try to slip in an image you don't have the right to
- copy. In general, any book, pamphlet, printed cartoon, magazine, sales
- literature or drug company handouts can't be reproduced. Ask the
- copyright owner for written permission if you must have the image. Send
- a copy of that written permission with your submission. If you need Ray
- Litman Photo Graphic to act as your agent & secure the permission for
- you we will ATTEMPT to do that. No guarantee of success can be made in
- advance & we charge for all time & expenses no matter what the outcome.
- An estimate of this must be paid in advance. Most authors or artist want
- the request in writing & several weeks can pass during this process.
- Image conversion can't start till the copyright release is obtained.
-
- Okay I own the image, can we just FAX you a copy?
-
- NO, NO, & NO.
-
- We have tried this in the past & FAX transmissions can loose important
- detail. Plan ahead, send (US mail, UPS, FedEx) a quality line drawing or
- finished art work in a proper shipping container. If a color match is
- important, samples with Pantone numbers (ask your artist) need to be
- included. Otherwise, we will try for a best color match possible.
