InfoShow is a marketing presentation for Randy Fordyce, a.k.a. InfoAge 
Associates. 

It was created with Gold Disk's Astound and runs under windows. No 
installation is required. Copy INFOSHOW.EXE to your hard drive, then RUN it 
using the RUN command in Windows File menu (or simply double-click on the file 
name in File Manager).

NOTE: InfoShow won't run from a floppy. There is just room on a diskette for 
the file. When the presentation plays, the program extracts elements of itself 
and needs more disk space than is available on a 1.2 meg floppy. But be 
assured: The Astound Player does clean 
up after itself. You won't find any leftover files and no files on your system 
will be touched.

Although it IS multi-media, InfoShow is lowest common denominator (no sound or 
video; just words, graphics and some simple animation). It is intended to 
demonstrate the possibilities of limited budget interactive multi-media 
marketing while promoting interest in InfoAge, the company and Randy, the 
writer. 

Another point to note: I did it all myself. Were this for a client, I would 
have involved a designer/artist (for obvious reasons); maybe even a 
programmer, depending on budget. Also, since I was the client, it seemed the 
writerly thing to do.

That, however is not offered as an excuse for any perceived graphic 
shortcomings, real or imagined. Rather, it underlines the fact that the core, 
the essence of any marketing communication, multi-media, print, video or point 
of purchase, is ALWAYS the writing. No amount of glitzy graphics, brilliant 
animation, gee-whiz programming or any other "dressing up" will clarify a 
fogged communication. If the message doesn't come through in casual garb, it 
won't make connect in a tux either.

Your comments and suggestions are welcome whether you need InfoAge's 
services now or not. All responses will be gratefully received.
