Computer Generated 3D Pictures - Readme
Copyright (C) 1995 The Hi-Tech Workshop Limited
************************************************************************

Introduction
  Our computer generated 3D pictures were constructed using the 
  principles first invented by Prof. B. Julesz who made the dual image 
  random dot stereograms.  Later, Prof. C.W. Tyler made a significant 
  improvement in 1989 to produce single image random dot stereograms 
  which are found in many popular 3D pictures books such as the Magic Eye 
  which has sold over a million copies worldwide (see TIME (1994) Oct.3, 
  p.52). All those publications and 3D products were done mostly in USA 
  or Japan (and illegally reproduced elsewhere).  Now, we are very proud 
  that our Workshop is able to produce those 3D pictures with additional
  improvement and unique effects that should be especially attractive to 
  the Chinese.

 Special Features
  There are some interesting and charming features that can be found in 
  this software.  Some examples include (for full version):
* most diagrams could be shown in full color or black and white.
* produce your own stereograms in various forms.
* possible to vary the display resolution (low, medium, high or very high).
* SOME diagrams in forms of single image, dual image, random line and/or 
  semi-transparent stereograms.
* reveal the random dot stereograms in form of color contour maps.
* SOME very colorful 3D pictures with your favorite images and  Fai Chung
  for the Chinese New Year.
* a very special SHIMMERING effect to make pictures dynamic and easier to view.
* regular printout of some figures in some dot-matrix, laserjet or 
  color printers.
* an user manual on how to view 3D pictures

Hardware and software requirement
  IBM or compatible 386/486/Pentium PC with VGA card, 1 MByte RAM and
  about 1.5MByte harddisk together with Microsoft MS Windows 3.1 or Win95
  (or Chinese Windows version 3.0 or above) environment.  Although this
  software can partially support other type of display card and monitor,
  it is recommended to have at least 256 color super VGA display hardware.

Installation
  To install this demo version into your PC, you must have a copy of the Visual
  Basic's file called "VBRUN300.DLL" stored in the SYSTEM subdirectory of your
  Microsoft Windows directory.  If you have this file, you may download a 
  compressed file called "VBRUN300.ZIP" from any mirror sites (e.g
  ftp.cnd.org/pub/software/ms-win/misc) and uncompress it in the above 
  subdirectory.  Then, you may enter into a Windows environment and 
  either use the Run command in the File menu of Program Manager to execute the
  program called SETUP.EXE in the directory containing files of this software, 
  or double-click the program called SETUP.EXE using the File Manager.  

 Further Information
  A full professional version which could accept any photo image as foreground
  picture and high resolution user-designed 3D hidden image (both in Bitmap
  graphic format as supported by the PaintBrush program in MS Windows) shall
  be released very soon. Besides, a DOS version is now already available at a 
  price of HK$99 or US$15. Purchaser of the previous DOS version or sponsor of our
  Workshop can receive the upgrade one at a much reduced price.  Besides, we could
  make very high quality 3D color output of postcard, poster, wallpaper,tile,
  name-card, book/magazine cover and any large-size advertisement board etc.
  uniquely and specifically designed for the client.
