Description:
------------
 Animated Screen lets you create Windows screen savers and stand-alone
 presentations that you can give to your friends, employees, customers
 and colleagues. You can also use Animated Screen to start your own
 screen saver business, selling custom shareware screen savers,
 with your company listed as the author.
 There are no distribution fees and, as an Animated Screen owner,
 you can distribute the screen savers that you create in unlimited
 quantities, royalty-free.

 Animated Screen lets you combine an unlimited number of words,
 sounds (in .WAV, .RMI and .MID formats,) and pictures (in .BMP, .GIF
 or .JPG formats.) When working with words, Animated Screen lets
 you determine the font, text color, and background color;
 you can also add special effects like shadows and extrusion.
 When working with sounds, you can use pre-recorded WAV or MIDI
 sound files, or you can use your PC and microphone to record your
 own soundtracks. When working with pictures, you can place multiple
 images on each screen, and determine how the images come and go,
 using both fixed and random placement as well as special effects
 such as bouncing images off the screen's borders, dropping
 images like raindrops, or creating fascinating star-and- meteor effects.

 You can distribute your Animated Screen presentations as Windows .SCR
 screen saver files, as stand-alone .EXE files, or as self- extracting
 files that will automatically install your presentations into your
 users' Windows System folders and set them up as standard screen savers.
 Animated Screen compresses your files so that they can be sent
 easily over the Internet.

 When you purchase an Animated Screen home license, you can sell
 or give away the screen savers that you create, but they will list
 PY Software as the author in the program's "settings" box.
 When you purchase the Animated Screen commercial license,
 you can enter your company into the program's "settings" box,
 and create shareware screen savers with shareware reminders,
 registration names and registration keys that allow users to register
 your screen savers with your company.
