USER INSTRUCTIONS: MYTHIC BEARS WINDOWS SCREEN SAVER Your screen saver program has been installed into the Windows(tm) Desktop of the Control Panel. BE CERTAIN YOUR MONITOR IS SET TO 256 COLOR PALETTE. If you have an old generic VGA monitor which can only display 16 colors, I'm afraid these images will look terrible. Sorry. Accessing your screen saver is easy and requires only three steps: I. Double Click on the Control Panel II. Open the Desktop Item III. Select your screen saver, set delay, and password via Setup. ======================================================================= I. Load the Control Panel The Control Panel is generally found in the MAIN group of your Program Manager. Execute the Control Panel by double clicking the Control Panel icon. If you cannot find the MAIN group or the Control Panel icon, you can run the control panel from the File Manager by double clicking CONTROL.EXE in your main Windows directory (usually called WINDOWS). ======================================================================= II. Run the Desktop option To run the Desktop option of the control panel, double click the Desktop icon in the Control Panel. ======================================================================= III. Select your screen saver Use the 'Screen Saver' area of your Desktop screen to select your screen saver. You may use the Test button to preview your screen saver and the Setup button to assign a password and activate/deactivate your mouse. ############################################################################# FOUR GOOD REASONS TO REGISTER! 1) YOU WILL RECEIVE NINE (11) ADDITIONAL EXTRAORDINARY, UNIQUE IMAGES OF BEARS (Actually, you will get 12 new photos because the bear painting with the registration reminders will no longer have text upon it.) Included in these eleven new images are four additonal rare photos of the Ainu Bear ritual, last conducted upon the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido in the 1920's. An anthropology text will be included which is an excerpt from our forthcoming e-book about early Japanese mythology. It explains this extraordinary ritual which has antecedents in the Upper Paleolithic. 2) THE REGISTRATION REMINDERS WILL NOT APPEAR DURING YOUR SLIDE SHOW. 3) You will be supporting an important project in which Reality Software seeks to preserve and restore archival photography, making individual images available to design professionals at a cost approaching $1.00 each. Compare that price with those typically charged by stock photography agencies. If you are a hobbyist or design pro, you can build a collection of rare and important images at very little cost. 4) Only registered users will have access to our tech support.

Reality Software will be releasing a series of screen savers whose theme is antique transportation. Each registered version will contain 15 royalty free, 8 bit TIF images in 256 grey scale. These photographs are rare: most exist as single prints made by photographers many, many decades ago, some more than a century old. These archival images are of extraordinary interest, to historians, hobbyists and design professionals. The majority have never been published before in any medium and their intrinsic interest is exceptional. The originals comprise our personal collection which took many years to accumulate. This series offers you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a collection of the rarest transportation photography which is truly of museum quality. Except for an occasional old stereo card, there is no possibility that you would see any of these prints in the public marketplace. 1) Several additional screen savers which feature 19th century locomotives will be released in the coming months. If you purchase the entire collection, there will be no duplicate photos! 2) Also to be released in 1995 will be several screen savers which feature classic sailing ships such as 19th century schooners. The format will remain the same: each volume contains 15 different, royalty free images. 3) In 1996, we plan to publish screen savers that feature archival photography of early trolley cars, electric trains, bicycles, late 19th and early 20th century warships and early aviation. The format of each registered product will remain the same: 15 superb, royalty free images for $15. Stock photo agencies typically charge license fees in excess of $100 for commercial use of their images. There will be no duplicate photos throughout our entire collection of archival transportation screen savers. If you register this product, you will automatically be placed upon our mailing list to be notified as each volume in the Antique Transportation Screen Saver series is released. Be certain to indicate an e-mail address on the registration form: we distribute a great deal of our publicity as e-text. *********************************************************************** See catalog.txt on disk 2 or 3 to read about our extraordinary e-books for DOS and Windows in ancient history and the history of religion. *********************************************************************** Copyright 1995 Ben Blumenberg Reality Software 1015 Main Street Waldoboro, ME 04572-0105 Phone: (207) 832-7348 Internet - bennett@pipeline.com (almost daily mail run); or (least preferred) 71044.1645@compuserve.com Design Concepts: Leslie Blumenberg Visonary Art Production: Ben Blumenberg ************************************************************************
