- WELCOME TO THE ANIMAZING SCREEN SAVER COLLECTION !
- --------------------------------------------------
-
- Bigzip #2 contains 8 of the liveliest savers you've ever seen, plus the
- famous 'Animazing Randomizer', a simple utility which allows you to get
- a different saver everytime, chosen at random from all the .SCR files in
- your Windows directory.
-
- To use any Animazing Screen Saver Module, you will require :
-
- Minimum 386 PC Compatible with 2 Mb RAM
- MS Windows 3.1 or higher
- VBRUN300.DLL
-
- Bigzip #2 contains:-
-
- ACIDRAIN.SCR
- AUTUMN.SCR
- CHAINSAW.SCR
- COSMIC.SCR
- LURGI.SCR
- PSYCHED.SCR
- SEAGULLS.SCR
- XMAS94.SCR
- and of course, the Randomizer, ANIMAZE.SCR plus it's associated setup program,
- ANIMAZE.EXE
-
- To Install any of these modules, copy the '.SCR' (and ANIMAZE.EXE) files you
- have unzipped into your WINDOWS directory.
- If you are unsure where this directory is, go looking for other files that
- end in ".SCR".
-
- Once you have moved the files to your Windows directory, you will
- be able to setup and test the modules from within Control Panel (click the
- Desktop icon). Alternatively, use the Animazing Randomizer (ANIMAZE.EXE)
- to setup the modules you like best.
-
-
- HOW TO TELL WINDOWS YOU WANT TO USE AN ANIMAZING MODULE AS YOUR SAVER
-
- Each module is fully functional, with the sole exception that if you
- are unregistered, you can *** NOT *** configure the module as a screen
- saver. You can customize it and test it out to your heart's content, but
- it will not automatically run if you select it as your default saver.
- Instead it will display the setup screen for that module.
-
- Registration currently costs $25 (for CompuServe members).
- If you register, you will receive a personalised ID code which enables all
- Animazing modules (even future releases!).
- A single one time registration entitles you to use ANY/ALL of the Animazing
- modules as they become available. There are already many modules
- shipping, including EXTERMINATED, TAGS'R'US, NUKEM' HIGH, RIBBIT, FIRES!,
- COSMIC, XMAS94, SCREEN LURGI, MOO!, TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, CLOUDS etc,
- and new modules are added to the collection all the time!
- Your $25 is potentially giving you access to an unlimited number
- of wild savers...and where else are you going to find this level of
- bad taste?!!
-
- Pressing the 'Registration Details' button on any module will open a
- simple dialog box allowing you to complete the registration process by
- typing in your personal ID code.
-
-
- REGISTRATION
-
- The easiest way to register is to GO SWREG on Compuserve. The
- registration ID of the Animazing Screen Saver Collection is 3397.
- You will usually receive your personal ID code by e-mail within one
- working day. Alternatively, contact ANIMAZING on (UK) 0171 792 4061,
- fax to (UK) 0171 792 1518, or leave a message on Compuserve to
- user 100413,3204.
-
- New modules appear first on CompuServe, followed by good Shareware
- houses, Magazine cover disks and selected sites on the Internet.
-
-
- FINDING ANIMAZING MODULES
-
- The first 14 modules (the latest versions!) are available in a file
- called BIG ZIP #1, in the screen saver section of the WINAV forum.
- To locate Animazing modules, go searching for contributions from
- author ID 100413,3204.
- New modules are uploaded just as soon as they pass testing, usually
- as files beginning ANIMAZEXXX, e.g ANIMAZE001 or ANIMAZE012. When we have
- a reasonable number of new ones, we'll upload them for convenience as
- BIG ZIP files.
-
- Keep your eyes peeled!
-
-
- THE ANIMAZING RANDOMIZER
-
- This is a simple utility which allows you to tell Windows which
- screen savers you like. Windows will then choose one of these
- preferred modules at random whenever it is time to screen save.
- Obviously, this utility is only of use to registered users, and is
- really neat, as you can pick and choose any or all the savers you have
- on your system, even those from other vendors (as long as they follow the
- standard Windows SCR saver format; e.g. Roaches, or Cows). The best place
- to put ANIMAZE.EXE is also your Windows directory.
-
-
- TO SHARE OR NOT TO SHARE
-
- The Animazing modules are shareware; you may distribute them as and
- how you see fit (although you may not make a charge for them, and you
- must include this file). Your personalised ID code may NOT be distributed
- under ANY circumstances.
-
-
- FUTURE MODULES
-
- If you have any ideas for particularly gruesome / off the wall savers,
- feel free to mail us with your ideas at 100413,3204 Compuserve.
- FINALLY
-
- As these graphical savers are pretty heavy on system resources, it is
- a good idea to download a few and make sure that your PC configuration
- can deal with them. Our recommended minimum system is at least a
- 386DX with 4 Mb RAM (really the bare minimum needed to run Windows 3.1
- effectively). If an Animazing module refuses to run, try closing down
- one or more applications to free up resources, and try again.
-
- ENJOY!
