The Barking Cards Lite Mother's Day Readme File  4/30/97

Barking Cards Lite includes one of our favorite cards for you to 
personalize and send.  You can customize the text in the cards, add 
more text, add photos or clip art, record voice messages or add 
pre-recorded sounds.  When you're done personalizing a card, simply 
hit the DONE button on Main Editing screen and follow the instructions
for saving the card.  You can then send the self playing card to your
recipient by attaching it to an email or by saving it to diskette and
sending the diskette.  The self playing card will run on any Windows
3.1 or Windows 95 system with the following minimum requirements:

- 486DX (or higher) IBM PC compatible 
- 8 MB of RAM
- 5 MB of available disk space
- VGA or higher Video board
- Sound card (if you want them to hear the sounds)

To Install the product:

1. Use an unzipping program (like PKUNZIP) to unzip the BARKMOM.ZIP
file into a temporary directory.
2. Run the Setup.exe program from that directory and follow the 
instructions.  DO NOT INSTALL "BARKING CARDS LITE" INTO THE SAME
TEMPORARY DIRECTORY IN WHICH YOU PLACED BARKMOM.ZIP. THIS WILL CAUSE
SOME QUIRKY PROBLEMS.

Also the installation program doesn't recognize long file names so
don't use a directory name of longer than 8 characters (or the 
files won't install). 

(Sorry, the Barking Cards program is cool but the third party 
installation we chose for its small size leaves a little bit to
be desired).

WE ALSO MARKET a higher end animated greeting card product that would 
make a perfect holiday gift for yourself or a loved one.  It's called 
Barking Cards 96 (the non-Lite version) and includes 25 animated cards 
covering the following categories:

Birthdays
Holidays
Invitations
Thank You
Congratulations (new job, baby)
Romance
Friendship  

We believe that you'll find that we have the highest quality 
(and wackiest) animated cards on the market.  So if you enjoy 
the cards in our trial version you might consider purchasing
Barking Cards 96 (it is a CD-ROM product) so you have a wider 
variety of cards to send.  It is priced at $29.95 plus $4.95 
for shipping and handling.
