Out of the Garden - version 1.01 Copyright © 1994 Ocean View Software All Rights Reserved Program Description: Out of the Garden is a Windows 3.1 Screen Saver that produces selected plant images at random on a graded color background. Several types of plant images, color schemes, and backgrounds are available. The number of plants shown may be set by the User. A delay has been incorporated at the end of a drawing set to allow the user to admire the beauty of the plants, if desired. Platform Requirements: Version 1.01 of Out of the Garden is a maintenance release. It requires Windows 3.1 (Win16) or later and can be used on i386 or i486 systems without a math coprocessor. This version of Out of the Garden requires a 256 color (8 bit) or greater display adaptor mode. It will not work in a display mode with fewer colors. Installation: Out of the Garden comes in compressed format; unzip the file with PKUNZIP version 2.04g or later, with XTree for Windows version 2.0 or later, or with XTreeGold for DOS version 3.0 or later. XTree for Windows was used to compress the file. If you are using PKUNZIP, use the -d parameter to preserve the directory structure. Copy the SSPLNT16.SCR and SSPLANTS.HLP files in the \Win16 directory to your Windows files directory if you will be using the Win16 version; the default Windows 3.1 installation names this directory (drive):\WINDOWS. If you will be using the Win32 version, copy SSPLNT32.SCR and SSPLANTS.HLP to the Windows NT System directory; this is (drive):\WINNT\SYSTEM32 for the default installation. The two help files are identical. To activate either version, run the Windows Control Panel application and open the Desktop applet. Using the drop down box associated with the "Name:" label in the "Screen Saver" section, select "Out of the Garden". You can then click on the "Setup" button to change the values of the parameters or accept the default values. Online help is available from the Configuation dialog box by clicking the "Help" button. You can click the "Test" button to test the current settings. You must close the Desktop applet with the OK button to activate the screen saver. Payment: Remember that this program is shareware. If you use and enjoy this program as much as others have, please send $10.00 with your name and address to Ocean View Software 904 Silver Spur Rd., Suite 362 Rolling Hills Estates, CA 90274 Problem reports can be sent to the same address or posted on CompuServe to Carl Thomas, 71203,2226 or on Internet to 71203,2226@compuserve.com). Out of the Garden is also listed in the CompuServe Software Registration forum (GO SWREG) under ID 1900, so you can alternatively register there. In return for registering your copy (and paying the fee), you will receive a copy of the next version free. We expect to continue evolving this product since we obviously like the concept. That depends, of course, on market response (YOU) in terms of paid registration. We believe in the innate honesty of the shareware approach and, therefore, did not put any annoying messages in the program itself. Nor is the program disabled in any way, in need of some special key, or built with a limited operational life. We know from experience how much of a turn-off such nagging reminders and such can be, so don't forget us. You are encouraged to share this program with others, provided that it either remains in its orginal zipped form or that all five files remain together and that you identify it as shareware. If you have any suggestions for improving the product, please send or post them to the above addresses. If your suggestion is incorporated, you will receive that version free as well.
