                             Image::Runner(tm)
                            -------------------
 
           developers' pcx display utility for DOS applications



Image::Runner(tm) is basically a simple utility that allows DOS executable
applications to display VGA .pcx files from anywhere within the application.
It is provided in form of a small, efficient, fast .exe meant to be called
with the system command processor in the host application.  Image::Runner
will display 640x480x16 VGA pcx images that may contain static graphs,
artwork, or other graphic objects needed in an application.

Image::Runner may be called multiple times from within an application and
adds little overhead to the executable sequence.  The called pcx image
displays until the end-user presses a key, then returns quickly and
efficiently to the calling program.

Image::Runner(tm) may be used with most traditional MS-DOS language
executables, including those created with CA-Clipper, Borland Turbo Pascal,
QuickBASIC, PowerBasic, Visual Basic(tm) for DOS, dBase, Clarion, C, etc.
The Image::Runner(tm) utility is very small, very efficient, and executes
cleanly and quickly from within any DOS program; its small file size (about
30k, not compressed) provides for minimal space usage on distribution disks
and is non-obtrusive and very discrete to the end-user as to its purpose.

Image::Runner(tm) image displays will run under both DOS and Windows.
Developers may easily capture usable materials with programs like Hijaak(tm)
for Windows and modify or create them in editing programs such as Windows(tm)
Paintbrush.

Demonstration files and on-disk documentation are included.  The full
registration fee is only $14.95 (single-user system).


Program Requirements
---------------------
The requirements for running Image::Runner(tm) include a DOS-compatible PC
with 512k memory, VGA graphics capability, and a hard drive.  DOS 3.1 (or
later) or Windows 3.x (or later) should be utilized.
