Installation
------------
The program 'cplib.zip' or 'cplib.exe' (created with InstallShield) 
will install the program and a sample photo library.  All files will 
install in a single install directory.

The installation will require approximately 8 megabytes of disk space.

                  (Note: An uninstall is available)

NOTE:
CompuPhoto Library will expire in 30 days (call if you need longer)
from the date of installation. After thirty days, the product will 
not function.  You must either buy the software from CompuPhoto, Inc. 
(or its distributors) or remove it from your computer.  New releases 
can be evaluated for a new 30 day TRIAL.


REQUIREMENTS
------------
Requires a minimum of at least:

   * a 486 based PC with 
         Windows 3.1 - 8  megabytes memory (more recommended)  
         Windows 95  - 16 megabytes memory (more recommended)  
         Disk space  - at least 8 megabytes
         Video Color - at least 256 color  (higher recommended)
                       (it will run on 16 color - not recommended)
         Video Resolution - any resolution (higher recommended)

   The quality of your video monitor is probably more important than
   the speed of your computer - except for (FX) special effects.

   The product will run with 256 colors (8 bit) and 640 x 480
   resolution; however, a higher number of colors will make a great 
   deal of difference. 

   Try to use at lease 65,000 colors (16 bit) and the highest resolution 
   possible.  There is a trade off in video memory between resolution 
   and color, use at least 16 bit colors (65,000 colors) - you won't see 
   much difference between 16 bit color and 24 bit color (16 million 
   colors) unless you have an exceptional monitor and video card.

   CompuPhoto Library looks best at 1280 x 1024 (or higher) with 24 
   bit color.

   An extensive help system is available.

   NOTES:
      The maximum number of photos for the system is defaulted to 2000.  
      If you require more, set the variable in the CPHOTO.INI file named
      MaxNumOfPhotos = xxxxx, where xxxxx is less than 32,000.


PRICING
-------
You can purchase this product for $69.00 (US Funds).
