 SofTec Software has designed The Digital Business Card SERIES to be 
 compatible with the greatest amount of computers the Digital Business
 Cards will be destined to run on.  Unlike many of the new programs merging 
 into the software market that require your potential client/customer to 
 possess a barn burning 486 with Windows 3.1, or Windows 95 a 16 bit 
 sound card, and a 256 SVGA monitor and graphics card, SofTec continues 
 to provide high quality art, music, and animation compatible with 286's 
 and up.

 After all you want to sell your customer your product not try and teach
 him how to run your program.  With SofTec's Digital Business Card
 all that is required is to type the name of the card at the floppy prompt
 or the Load***.bat  if the card has sound.

 SOUND:    (See UPDATE at end of this file)
 Memory Requirements:  A minimum of 512K available conventional 
 DOS memory is required to run the SPECIAL LIBRARY SERIES 2.5.  

 To be able to view the animation effects in this SERIES, your 
 system may need at least 1 megabyte of expanded or extended 
 memory available.  If you don't, you will still be able to view 
 everything but most of the animation effects.
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Sound Card Information:  The sound driver installation assumes you 
 have set the sound drive/path information.  This is normally done 
 in your autoexec.bat file with a command that looks like this:

		SET SOUND=[drive:\path]

 You may also issue this command from the DOS command line.  This 
 tells the batch file where the appropriate drivers are located.

**************  FULL PROGRAM FEATURES ****************
**********   THE ITEMS HERE ARE NOT IN THE DEMO   ****************


  UPDATE 11/95
  Item 1 - Automatic compression 
  Item 2 - Automatic Install Program
  Item 3 - Manual Updates

  1- The automatic compression takes place when you  SAVE to a floppy 
	in the program. This is how it works and how you can undo it
	if your desire is to distribute your programs without using
	the compression and install program.

     The working part:  when you  SELECT to SAVE a card to a 
	floppy the first thing the program does is compress that
	cards files (fonts, art, exe, sound etc.) into a .SET
	file. The .SET file and the INSTALL.EXE are then COPIED to
	your floppy. For anyone to run your program all they need
	to do is type INSTALL. The program installs and runs.

	NOTE: If sending your card via On-Line Services or
		the Internet remember to send both the CARD.SET
		and the INSTALL.EXE that was COPIED to your floppy.

     The how to undo:  If it is your desire to distribute your
		Digital Cards uncompressed without a install
		program here is how to do it. From your floppy
		that you copied your card to run the install.exe
		program. When your card is installed onto your
		HARD DRIVE, copy the files in that Directory
		to a new formatted floppy. You may now distribute
		your floppy. You may want to tell the person you
		are sending it to the command to start the card
		program. (It would be the .EXE file name and/or
		the Sound .BAT file name (for music if a Sound
		Card is installed on their computer system).    

  2- The Automatic Install program is an integral part of Digital
	Cards, written in assembly language there is no user editing
	available. The file INSTALL.EXE will install any card you 
	make and must accompany a Digital Card. If you are sending
	more than one Digital Card you only need to send ONE (1)
	INSTALL.EXE. Like wise if you have sent a person a card
	in the past and included INSTALL.EXE then all you need
	to send in the CARD.SET file and have them run the 
	INSTALL.EXE... 
		  
		  - Compact and self-contained distribution
		  - Less likely that users will install improperly
		  - Use fewer disks and disk space
		  - Faster copying to hard drive
		  - Quicker copying of distribution disks

	
	If you wish you may use .ARJ .LHZ or 
	PKzip to zip up the INSTALL.EXE and CARD.SET files
	for E-MAIL sending if you don't want to send 2 files.
	
	There is, however,  ( for a small fee ) editing
	available at SofTec to customize INSTALL.EXE to your needs.
	With your name, company name, user information, a readme
	file, and other information as displayed on the Install you
	have.  As well as editing Config.sys and Autoexec.bat or
	even writing a user variable during install.
	NOTE Custom Windows install programs are also available.
 
 3. - UPDATE to Manual
	   
		____________________________________  
 The COPY to floppy command found in any of the Digital Card SERIES
 Main Menu's COMPRESSES your card and COPIES  it and the Automatic Install
 to your floppy. To rerun your card out of the Digital Cards SPECIAL 
 LIBRARY  SERIES program  you will need to INSTALL it first, by going to 
 the floppy prompt and typing INSTALL. Once INSTALLED you can COPY the 
 individual files to a floppy if you want to distribute your card in 
 uncompressed form. If you are sending your card to a person via E-Mail 
 you MUST send both the INSTALL.EXE and CARD.SET 
 (containing your Digital  Card) the first time. 
 
 Digital Cards sent later to the same person will only require that you 
 send the CARD.SET the receiving party can use the INSTALL.EXE you sent 
 with the first Digital Card.
 
 VOLUME and EDIT Sound settings: 
 Found in the MAIN MENU (the note icon) this feature allows you to
 set the volume for the current session. If you don't hear any music
 and you have a Sound Blaster Sound Card or compatable, you should
 try the different Sound settings. Starting from the top there is
 the General Sound Setting, second is Basic Sound Setting and the
 third is Expanded covering Sound Blaster cards 2.1 and above including
 the Pro version. SofTec Software has tried to cover all possible
 "flavors" of sound cards, but due to the sheer volume of Generic
 soundcards in the market today, we can not be certain or guarantee
 all will be compatable with this program. You are welcome to call
 SofTec's Tech support via our 24 hour BBS at 541 276 0294 or 
 message us via any of our E-Mail addresses found in Pro.txt 
 For those without a modem you can Fax us or call voice at numbers
 listed in Pro.txt or in the Sample Cards in the program.
		       
		       
  If your Art just doesn't seem to want to insert into your selected 
  Digital Card, you can modem or mail the art to SofTec's artists
  who will insert it for you (The fee is VERY reasonable-see Graphics
  help in your manual Appendix A).
