This file contains encapsulated PostScript files that can be used with 
Ventura for Windows to create higher resolution tint screens than are 
presently available via the frame background selections.

------------  -----
TN075010.EPS    1      These files produce 75 line-per-inch tint screens
TN075020.EPS    2      in 15 levels (about the maximum useful number of
TN075025.EPS    3      levels on a 300 dpi output device).
TN075030.EPS    4
TN075035.EPS    5      The "075" of the 3rd through 5th characters of the
TN075040.EPS    6      filename indicate that the file is for a 75 lpi
TN075045.EPS    7      tint.
TN075050.EPS    8
TN075055.EPS    9      The three digits of the 6th through 8th characters
TN075060.EPS   10      of the filename indicate the percentage (halves are
TN075063.EPS   11      rounded down) of the tint.
TN075065.EPS   12
TN075070.EPS   13
TN075075.EPS   14
TN075087.EPS   15


TN085012.EPS    1      These files are for 85 line-per-inch tints. They
TN085025.EPS    2      provide seven levels (again, as many useful levels
TN085037.EPS    3      as can be produced at 300 dpi with an 85 lpi tint).
TN085050.EPS    4      
TN085063.EPS    5      
TN085070.EPS    6      
TN085075.EPS    7      


To use these tint files, import them as Line-Art, PostScript, into a frame, 
and set the Sizing to Fit in Frame, and Aspect Ratio to distorted. You will 
not see the tint while in Ventura -- just a big "X" -- thus the filenaming 
scheme, so you can see which tint file is loaded into a specific frame by 
simply clicking on that frame and checking the file list.
 
The advantage to using these files is twofold:

    First, it provides a greater degree of control over the resolution and 
    percentage of the tint block;

    Second, these files are REEEL tiny, as opposed to a tint block that you 
    could create with a line-art program, such as CorelDRAW or MicroGraphix 
    Designer, and, as though they had been exported via said drawing program 
    WITHOUT the TIF image header, do not create the mirror IMG file (that also 
    takes up space).


Now -- you guessed it -- the disadvantage. Since these files are intended to 
be placed in a frame, as would be any other image or line-art, no other 
element may occupy that frame. Any text to be superimposed on that tint must 
be either in a separate frame on TOP of the tint frame, or must be place as 
Box Text, in Graphic mode. If you are using frame anchoring, you probably 
won't want to use two frames (one for tint; one for text) because the anchors 
always want to shift the frames vertically. But if you are using a LOT of 
text, best not use Box Text -- Ventura doesn't take kindly to lots of text 
stored in the caption file (CAP) and will sometimes cause you to tear your 
hair out. If you are doing both, good luck.
 
As always, should you be apprehended while in the course of this tint-mission, 
all knowledge of your actions will be disavowed. This message will...
