PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
===========================
Beagle Software's SlideShow V1.0.0 is a powerful multimedia presentation
program. SlideShow links the advanced display features of Internet
Explorer with an exceptional presentation engine. Combined, they
provide a powerful yet simple tool for creating and displaying "virtual"
slide shows. 

First collect a list of web sites, images and documents - any type of file
your web browser can handle. Next, add music, recorded speech and/or
sound effects to accompany the slides. Then sit back, relax and run the
show. SlideShow uses Microsoft's Internet Explorer main display screen
as the display engine. SlideShow is an easy way to create a guided tour
of your favorite web sites, a multimedia presentation tool, an image
locator, and image album -- all in one.

Beagle Software's SlideShow provides the slide engine and show editor
to create shows quickly and efficiently. Preview the show, making
changes in the order, content and sound accompaniment for each
"slide" in the show. When it's show time SlideShow gives you options for
running and displaying your slides. Run the slides randomly or in order,
in a regular browser frame or in the darkened theater mode --
emphasizing the images selected. Sophisticated navigation options lets
you move around quickly and easily to spot, review, or pause on a
particular favorite, or important slide.
Complete on-line  documentation including Help,  User Guide, FAQ and Troubleshooting.
