ALRIGHT! You're trying Spice v1.1! This file simply gives a run-down on how to install Spice onto you system. There is no installation because it is simply too easy. You need to copy all of the Spice files into one directory. That's the installation instructions! Well, you can also add the program to your startup so that when you start your computer it will automatically start. The first screen of the help describes how to configure Spice but here is the basic outline. You will copy as many backgrounds that you would like to see on your desktop into one directory. You then go to the Spice configuration and point to that directory. That's it! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT NOTE: Shareware! Spice is a shareware program, not a *free* program. You are allowed to evaluate it for seven days but to use it after that time you will have to register it. This should not be difficult since it only cost $10.00. If you would like to register Spice with DiamondSoft then select one of the two plans.. USE COMPUSERVE SHAREWARE REGISTRATION If you have a CompuServe account then the registration process is easy. Simply "GO SWREG" and select "Software Registration" from the list of entries. From there follow the instruction using software ID number ####*. You will be e-mailed a registration number within 3-days. This is the best and easiest way for you. * Note that a SWREG number was not assigned when you got this version but chances are that there is one now. Contact DiamondSoft to get the SWREG number. SNAIL-MAIL REGISTRATION If you do not have a CompuServe account then you can mail a check for $10.00 to; DiamondSoft 16222 193rd Avenue S.E. Renton WA 98059 Be sure to include all of your vital statistics like Name and Address. If you have an e-mail address then include that as well and your registration number will arrive quicker. Otherwise you will be mailed you registration number. OTHER If neither of the above plans are good for you then contact DiamondSoft to make special arrangements. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- FUTURE VERSION Perhaps... if we get some good ideas from you. Now it is a simple program that does the job so unless we have some really good ideas (like making it use JPEG files) we won't do another version.
