by Damsel Software Group

This screen saver will work only with Windows 95 and Windows NT.

Licensed for FREE DISTRIBUTION

A Walk In The Woods Screen Saver contains 32 images in the registered 
version.  The Shareware version brings you 4 of these images using the 
same fully-functional screen saver engine used to control the registered 
version.  If you decide you want to continue using this software you 
should register the program by purchasing the commercial version at any of 
our electronic store outlets where it is offered for electronic download at
the very reasonable price of US$10.00 (or thereabouts).  The registered
version can also be purchased for the same low price directly at our own
website, http://www.damselsoftware.com . 


1.  MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

A video display board with a minimum of 512K RAM and 256-color capability 
for display on a VGA or SVGA monitor is essential for reasonable viewing of 
these images.  Damsel recommends the use of High-color (16-bit) or True-color
(24-bit) display settings for optimal viewing of these images.
 
Note: this screen saver is shipped with the transition effect set at NONE.  
Be advised that on systems using a 256-color setting all transition effects
other than NONE begin by displaying the prior image as an array looking like 
colored sand.  This is an effect caused by the change of optimized color 
palettes from image to image.  This odd effect will not occur when using the 
true (24-bit) color settings available on high end graphics cards.  

To access these choices press the Settings button of your Control Panel/
Display/Screen Saver dialog box.

You will need an IBM-compatible PC with a 486 or higher-type microprocessor,
8MB RAM, and a hard disk with 5MB free disk space. 

This screen saver is designed for Windows 95 and individual Windows NT 
workstations.  This product WILL NOT run on earlier versions of Windows.

4.  A WALK IN THE WOODS SHAREWARE IMAGE LIST 


The four images listed here are taken from the 32-image full version.  The 
text below provides a brief description of the location and subject of each 
image.

1.  Columbine, Beaver Pond, Bear Brook State Park, Allenstown-Deerfield, 
NH --- Columbines are beautiful in their natural forest setting, but don't
try to dig them up and transplant them.  They know what you're doing and
won't help out.  Live free or die.  They probably wrote New Hampshire's
state motto.  A lover of rocky woods (plentiful in NH), and sloped terrain
(also plentiful in NH), these members of the buttercup family grow on 1 to
2 foot stalks above smaller compound leaves.  Their drooping bells sway in
the breeze each with five long curving spurs.

2. Proteus Falls, Gorham, NH --- This falls is the lowest of three small 
waterfalls located on Town Line Brook on the northeastern lower slopes of 
5367' Mt. Madison.  In the 1990's several broad fallen tree trunks have 
blocked some of the upper reaches of these falls.  See Erebus Falls for 
directions.

Erebus Falls, Gorham, NH --- (Not included in this screen saver, but text
copied for ref to Proteus Falls)  This falls is the middle of three small 
waterfalls located on Town Line Brook on the northeastern lower slopes of 
5367' Mt. Madison, the northernmost peak of the Presidential Range.  All 
three are a short .2 mile walk up Town Line Brook Trail which leaves Pinkham 
B road near the height of land 2.5 miles from the road's southern terminus 
with NH Rte. 16 at the northern end of the Dolly Copp National Forest 
Campground, or 1.5 miles south from US Rte. 2 in Randolph, NH.  The falls' 
dark secluded location likens itself to the Erebus of Greek mythology, the 
dark ether through which souls traveled at death to Hades.

3. Black-capped Chickadee, Brockway Preserve, Hopkinton, NH --- The 
chickadee gained its name from its song, chick-a-dee-dee-dee which can be
heard in mixed and deciduous woods from Alaska to Newfoundland south to
the middle latitudes of the United States and further south in mountainous 
areas.  This member of the titmice family has a northern relative in the
Boreal Chickadee and a southern relative, the Carolina Chickadee. 

4. Smith Pond Bog, Hopkinton, NH --- The mist from the bog rises through
the adjacent forest.  This ASNH Wildlife Sanctuary is not strictly a bog in
that there is both an inlet and an outlet.  The water flow brings nutrients
and oxygen which permit a larger variety of both plant and animal life to
exist, flushing out the acidic water common to true bogs.  Beaver period-
ically dam up the outlet from Smith Pond, killing trees and maintaining 
Beaver Marsh, filled with grasses, bulrushes and cattails.  The borders of 
the marsh are populated by Red Maples, and the entire ecosystem attracts 
Mallard, Black, and Wood Ducks, herons, Red-winged Blackbirds, and other 
songbirds, and aquatic mammals.  Call the Audubon Society for directions 
from this central NH town, 603-224-9909.
