Cogito's Floral BOUQUET for Windows


WHAT IS IT?

	Cogito's BOUQUET for Windows offers that light touch for the day's 
	efforts at the keyboard.  Two dozen photorealistic floral wallpaper 
	bitmaps are provided, designed to be used as tiled images.  
	Also provided is the BOUQUET utility which allows the user to 
	install one of the flowers as the selected wallpaper.  Besides 
	providing your own visual delight, this may be just the right 
	little gift for that special person in your life.  Please note 
	that these images are 256 colors.  They are very unexciting 
	on Windows displays that are limited to 16 colors.


WHAT DO I NEED IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO USE THE IMAGES AND SOFTWARE?

	The hardware requirements are those minimal requirements needed 
	for Windows with the exception that you need a "SuperVGA" graphics 
	adapter with at least 0.5 Meg Video RAM and the appropriate Windows 
	graphic drivers to provide at least a 640 by 480 pixel, 256 color 
	display.  Higher resolutions will be fine.

	It is important for proper operation of the program BOUQUET.EXE 
	that you keep the program, the "bouquet.cfg" and all of the 
	"flower??.bmp" files in the same subdirectory.  "INSTALL" will 
	go ahead and place appropriate system files, including VBRUN300.DLL 
	in the appropriate subdirectories.  


HOW DO I USE IT?

	After the installation, you will have a BOUQUET group and a 
	BOUQUET floral icon.  Double click the icon to run the program.  
	After a pause to load the image files as thumbnail sketches, you 
	can click the image you prefer as your tiled wallpaper.  
	("Tiled" means that the images are small and will be repeated 
	as needed to fill the backdrop to your Windows applications.)  
	These brief instructions are also available on line.

	Selecting an image records it's filename in your WIN.INI file.  
	The next time you run Windows, that image will be your wallpaper.

	If, after clicking an image, you change your mind, just 
	click another.


WHAT IF I PREFER TO USE THE IMAGES WITHOUT THE SOFTWARE?

	With or without the software, the *.BMP files are the core of 
	this shareware program and are copyrighted.  You are welcome to 
	use them or the program BOUQUET for your personal use for an 
	evaluation period of three weeks.  If, after that trial, you 
	are inclined to continue use of these images and software, 
	please register it with COGITO MultiMedia for $15.00.  This 
	includes shipping of new diskettes and certain bonuses as 
	outlined below.  A separate registration form should be with 
	the files that came with this program (REGISTER.TXT).

	One can load the image files as wallpaper through the Desktop 
	Utilities under the Control Panel icon (generally in the Main 
	program group.)  Please refer to your Windows v3.1 
	documentation for instructions on this.  It would generally 
	be more expedient to place the FLOWER??.BMP files in your 
	WINDOWS subdirectory in that case.

	If you are going to use ANY of the images or software, or 
	present them to someone as a gift, please register them.  If 
	you decide not to use them, or if your Windows runs with a 
	16 color palette, please pass them on to friends for their 
	trial evaluations.


WHY SHOULD I REGISTER THE SOFTWARE?

	NOTE: DOUBLE CLICK THE REGISTER! ICON IN THE BOUQUET GROUP TO
READ OR PRINT OUT THE REGISTRATION FORM.

	There are several good reasons to register the software including:

	1.  Registration allows you the opportunity for support online 
	on CompuServe or by mail for a period of one year.

	2.  Registration supports the author.  (This is my favorite reason.)

	3.  Registration brings you a bonus disk full of photo images.  
	(This will be YOUR favorite reason)  These will be provided in 
	256 colors and 640 by 480 pixel resolution.  The registration 
	form will provide you with an opportunity to select your theme.
	
	4.  Your registered copy of BOUQUET will not have the opening 
	reminder to register.  Instead, there will be a message of your 
	choosing.  This is very nice if you intend to register BOUQUET 
	for use as an electronic "Valentine."

	5.  All images are copyrighted by COGITO MultiMedia.  
	Registration licenses you for personal use only.  They may not 
	be marketed by you as part of another package.
