  This file should always be accompanied by six BMP files:

        PTD_VT01.BMP - 308,278 bytes - 05-01-94
        PTD_VT02.BMP - 308,278 bytes - 05-01-94
        PTD_VT03.BMP - 308,278 bytes - 05-01-94
        PTD_VT04.BMP - 308,278 bytes - 05-01-94
        PTD_VT05.BMP - 308,278 bytes - 05-01-94
        PTD_VT06.BMP - 308,278 bytes - 05-01-94

  Those six files should always be distributed together, along with this
  file, and the FILE_ID.DIZ file. The preferred ZIP name is VT_BMPS.ZIP.

  These files are all from original photography, and they are all copyright
  1994 by PTD. Individuals may use these as "wallpaper" on their computers,
  with no charge, no obligation, and no guilt!

  All other uses, including (but not limited to) advertising, inclusion in
  other software, or disk distribution, require written permission in
  advance, and payment (details on request).

  The pictures are all taken from 24 bit Kodak PhotoCD files. They were
  edited with Z-Soft PhotoFinish, and reduced to 256 colors. I did very
  little editing, other than "Auto Enhance", which does a nice job of fixing
  brightness, contrast, and saturation. On picture #06, I used a special
  filter (in PhotoFinish) for an "Impressionist" look. Also, on #04 I had
  to scribble some green "leaves" on top of my not-so-pretty car!

  You must be running Windows in a 256 color mode (or higher) to properly
  view these pictures! On a plain VGA card, you'll probably only have 16
  colors, and the pictures will look "muddy". Try running Control Panel or
  Windows Setup to see if you can switch to a better resolution!

  If you would like copies of these pictures in the original 24 bit color,
  for your personal use only, please send $20 to the author (artist?). You
  MUST be able to use JPG files, and you MUST have 1.44M floppy disks, and
  you MUST have at least a one megabyte video card. I'll send "minimum loss"
  JPG files - they look exactly like the originals!

  Remember, don't order the 24 bit pictures unless you're 100% certain that
  you can use JPG files! If you don't know what "JPG" is, just stick with
  the regular 256 color BMP files - they're free, remember!

  Thanks for reading this far - I hope you like the pictures!
