 º  New and Enhanced Tools in 5.0 º
 ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ

The release of SuperShow 5.0 is our
most significant upgrade to date.  In
addition to all the new features of
SuperShow like support for .FLI/.FLC
files, new sound support (including
.MID files), variables for control
logic, etc., we have added and
enhanced the series of tools that
help you prepare your presentations.

First, all the imaging tools now can
process True Color (24 bit, 16
million color) images.  You may copy,
crop, resize and print these images.
The conversion utility in Super
ToolBox also is able to convert your
True Color images to 256, 16 or 2
colors.

Now we will look at the tools in 3
different areas; in the F4-Tools
section of ShowPrep, The Super
ToolBox, and the all new Extra Tools
Supplementary Disk (available
separately):

1.  Extended Mouse Support: You may
now use the mouse to choose from the
menu bar while using the editor.

2.  FLI/FLC Preview:  With the
addition of support of this animation
format, we've added a preview tool.

3.  Extended Program Hooks: One of my
favorite additions to version 5.0!
An extended program hook is really
just a menu within a menu.  We know
that you bounce back and forth
between your favorite paint programs,
sound editors, text editors, etc. and
Super ShowPrep.  Now you can access
these programs right from the tools
menu in ShowPrep.  And when you're
finished, you are returned directly
to where you were in ShowPrep.

We've given you four program hooks.
You set up your list of programs
during the configuration (press F2)
of ShowPrep.  You simply enter the
name of the program you'd like to
access from SuperShow and it remains
an F4-Tool option everytime you use
SuperShow. You may change it anytime
by choosing configure ShowPrep.

4.  Context Sensitive Help: All the
new script commands are covered in
the Help Feature of ShowPrep.  To
pop-up help on any script command,
highlight the command and press F1.

1.  Video Mode Display: This is a new
tool that will show every video mode
your graphics card is capable of
showing.

2.  Palette Conversion: In addition
to being able to process True Color
images, we now have a dither option
menu.  You may choose the dithering
method (or choose No Dither) when
converting images.

3.  Full Color Printing: In version
5.0 we have totally revamped the
printing capabilities of ToolBox.
You may now print any image... 2, 16,
256, or 16 million colors.

ToolBox supports over 300 different
printers, including color printers.
With the printer setup you can resize
your print out, rotate it, invert it,
set up by pixels, inches or
centimeters, print landscape or
portrait, and locate it anywhere on
the page.

Available separately (see order form)
is a series of helpful, specialized
tools and utilities.  New are:

1.  PCX-Talker: This program is a
sub-set of SuperShow which allows you
to access the SBTalker voice
synthesizer from Creative Labs.  With
PCX-Talker you can show your PCX
images using the SuperShow screen
transitions while accessing the
speech synthesizer.  You must have
SBTalker to use PCX-Talker.  SBTalker
comes packaged with every Sound
Blaster card from Creative Labs.

that gives you the ability to link

allows you to play .VOC digitized
files through your PC Speaker.

information in a PCX file using a
batch process.

5.  Alternate Editor:  SP5A.EXE is an
alternate ShowPrep editor that allows
for up to 5000, 78 character lines
for a show script.  While there is no
limit to the number of lines in a
SuperShow presentation, the standard
ShowPrep editor has a limit of 1500
script lines.  The alternate editor
does not have mouse capability, the
editing commands are slightly
different, and each line is limited
to 78 characters.
