Picture Show 2.5 ---------------- Picture Show is designed to be a lightweight and fast way to manage images under MS Windows. The DBMS will point to your images and not store your images a second time. This reduces the amount of storage required, and any changes made to image files will be immediately reflected in the DBMS. Thumbnail's can be displayed for any DB, but are not displayed when a DB is opened. It can take a while to render some image formats, so this is a decision based on speed. The registered version will support a number of image formats including: ART, BMP, CUT, DIB. GEM, GIF, HRZ, IFF, IMG, JPG, LBM, MAC, MSP, PCX, PIC, RAS, RLE, TGA, TIF, WMF, and WPG image file formats. The unregistered version officially supports only BMP and PCX, however, all 16 color and 256 color GIF image types are supported as well. CompuServe downloads 128 color GIF images which this will not support. Installation: Execute picshow.exe from the directory were it was unzipped. Images can be added, deleted and modified from the image management system. There is a menu option that will install the screen saver module, as your default Windows screen saver. In-order to utilize the screen saver, will will need to copy the following files into your windows\system directory: csform.vbx threed.vbx qpro200.dll ctl3d.dll cspictur.vbx cmdialog.vbx Setting Screen Saver Password Protection and Other control panel options: After installing Picture Show as your screen saver, you can add a password by going to the control panel, and choosing the desktop icon. Enter screen saver setup, and you will be able to enter a password for your screen saver. (File/Run control.exe, is the quickest way to start the control panel) Actually you can set many options from the MS Windows control panel, but these settings will NOT be reflected in your database. Changes that you make to settings in Picture Show and then install will always by in-sync. *** IMPORTANT: ****** The file picshow.scr must be present in the same directory as picshow.exe, in-order to install the Windows Screen Saver. If these are not, an error will occur. Infomation Resources: Please send e-mail to CompuServe id: 72674,2614 or internet mail: MainStTch@aol.com.
