SLIM SHOW lets you create and play professional looking, interactive multimedia presentations within Microsoft Windows 3.1x and Windows 95 .  It provides an easy to use, drag-and-place authoring environment for integrating multimedia materials consisting of text, WAVE, MIDI, bitmap graphics, synthesized speech (text-to-speech) and text or graphical buttons.  It has 18 built-in animation effects for graphics, plus the combination of blank out and resizing.  For text display it takes literal strings or text files, and it lets you transport TrueType fonts to show on target machines.  Text-to-speech synthesizer allows any random provided text.  Speech pitch and rate adjustable.  Can use custom dictionaries.  Projects can run directly within SLIM SHOW or built for distribution with a standalone player.  In fully automatic mode, the player will decompress data files, run the show, and then clean up everything on the target machines.  Allows building self-extract executable projects.   In manual mode, projects can be built to integrate with other Windows programs.  Show window size can be set to a fixed value or to be adjusted automatically to fit target machines.  The tiny player takes only 50 Kb of space for non text-to-speech projects, or 550 Kb for projects with Text-to-speech.  SLIM SHOW is ideal for presentations, advertising, making demos, computer-based training, story books, education, multimedia greeting cards, albums, and games.  SSH152.ZIP has replaced SSH150.ZIP
