PEERNET.DRV .BMP DRIVER FOR WINDOWS(tm) DEMO VERSION
----------------------------------------------------

Thank you for your interest in the PEERNET.DRV .BMP Driver for Windows 95, 98, and NT 4.0.

PEERNET.DRV is based on the Microsoft universal printer driver, which is installed with
Windows. Because of this, PEERNET.DRV automatically assumes the language of the Windows
operating system when it is installed. PEERNET.DRV also adopts the universal printer driver UI
(user interface) that is supported by the Windows platform. This ensures that PEERNET.DRV will
work with any Windows application that provides a Print function. It also means that
PEERNET.DRVs UI differs from platform to platform; in other words, PEERNET.DRV does not offer
the identical set of features on Windows NT 4.0 as it does on Windows 98 or Windows 95. Basic
features, such as graphic resolution, color selection, paper size and orientation, and print
quality are common to all.

Windows manages PEERNET.DRV in precisely the same manner as any other printer driver. However,
PEERNET.DRV creates bitmap files directly from Windows application documents, rather than
interpreting documents for output on a hardware device. This makes PEERNET.DRV ideal for
document imaging and electronic document delivery, since you do not have to produce a hard copy
printout of your document before converting it to a bitmap file. It also allows you to
distribute your documents on a truly universal scale; virtually any program can read bitmap
files on any platform.
