- MakeDemo is contained in three archives. Unpacked they total
- something over 500 k Bytes. This schema gives interested users
- the opportunity to progressively download / unpack the
- pieces if what they see continues to interest them. Examine
- PACKING.LST in each of the archives to see what should be there.
-
-
- MDEM4A.ZIP Overview of MakeDemo
- .EXE
- Contains the necessary files to produce a single
- .EXE executible file, DEMO.EXE from WATCH_ME.1ST
- created with MakeDemo. The resulting file with about
- 55 screens is a fully functioning sales pitch for
- MakeDemo.
-
- MDEM3B.ZIP A More Elaborate Presentation
- .EXE
- This time you can create a single file presentation
- of MakeDemo's "help" facilty. With about 200
- screens, this presentation also created with
- MakeDemo is a more elaborate example of MakeDemo's
- capabilities. And this archive also contains the
- MakeDemo manual.
-
- MDEM4B.ZIP MakeDemo Files
- .EXE
- Contains MDEMO.EXE and the ancillary utilities such
- as the screen capture utility for those who are
- ready to start creating their own presentations.
- Also included are the various .DOC files that
- complete the MakeDemo package. And for those who
- would like a bare-bones MakeDemo runtime, there's
- MLITE.EXE, great for putting a user friendly front
- end to your own programs in front of your users.

- We thank you for the opportunity to show off MakeDemo.
- Now you can create presentations with interactive menus. Both
- MDEMO as well as the runtime MSHOW, have full mouse
- support. Make professional and small single .EXE file
- presentations: great for downloading from BBSes. Even "brand"
- your presentations with unique serial numbers. And your
- presentations can hold up to 2000 screens: great for putting
- catalogs or books on disk. We're confident that, after viewing
- the enclosed MakeDemo files and creating a file or two, you will
- choose MakeDemo for your presentation needs.
-
- To show you how easy it is to create a single file .EXE
- presentation, let GO.BAT create a 55 screen overview of MakeDemo
- and HELP.BAT create a presention of the MakeDemo "Help" file. You
- might want to look at these .BAT files with a text editor to see
- what is involved. It's really very simple. Anyway, run GO and
- HELP to see two good examples of what you can create yourself.
-
- If MakeDemo is for you, and we think it will be, please register.
- Try MakeDemo and create a presentation or two of your own.
- However, when you distribute your first presentation to whomever,
- created in part or in whole with MakeDemo, YOU MUST REGISTER.
- That means paying a registration fee. No IFs, ANDs, or BUTs.
- Site licenses and quantity discounts are available upon request.
-
- To register, TYPE the registration form found in REGISTER.DOC or
- from the menu within DEMO.EXE or M_HELP.EXE, select the order
- form amd print it out directly.
-
-
- Thank you

- Some Things Technical
- ---------------------
-
- Presentations run on an IBM or compatible PC, XT, AT, or 386
- machine with 75 K RAM with either a monochrome or color display.
- For best operation the "CONFIG.SYS" file should contain the
- following two lines: FILES=10 (minimum) and BUFFERS=10.
-
- Some compatible computers might pose a problem or two. If you're
- using a monochrome monitor and the display goes blank, but
- bright, the chances are that your computer is equipped with a
- color card. You can correct this confusion on the part of WWP
- programs by typing, at the DOS prompt, MODE MONO or MODE BW80 and
- then proceed as you normally would.
-
- Both MakeDemo and ShowDemo make extensive use of the arrow keys
- that on some keyboards are part of the numeric keypad. If you
- experience problems, be sure that "NumLock" is off and/or that
- you use the correct keypad keys.
