Now Laughing Dog is really the Top Dog of Screen Designers. But don't take
our word for it, read what the critics are saying:

"Laughing Dog...a program that will be talked about and used for several
years...This is generally an excellent piece of software, whether you
simply want to paint interesting screens, enliven your batch files, or add
display screens to your BBS or your own programs...It is a lot easier to
use than many screen drawing programs and just as flexible as most of its
competition."

--CompuServe's Online Today, Sept. 1992

"The program is simple enough to use to allow even the casual or occasional
user to create professional-quality screens with ease. For serious
programmers, whose work involves the design of high quality interfaces,
the Laughing Dog Screen Maker does also offer the potential for dramatic
improvements in both screen aesthetics and programming productivity."

PC-PLUS Magazine (UK), Aug. 1992

"Programmers and desktop publishers, say 'woof' to the Laughing Dog. A
text-mode screen designer that operates like a paint program...and if the
name sounds less than serious, it shouldn't distract you from the powerful
program beneath."

Computer Shopper, Sept.1992

"The program is so much fun to use that you'll probably create a couple of
screens of your own before you start exploring the menus and the
manual...Laughing Dog's ability to create screens in Wildcat! and PCBoard
format should lead to some very interesting screens appearing on BBSes in
the near future. Certainly sysops will find the program useful and, since
some systems allow users to upload messages with color codes, the message
sections of many BBSes may soon become a riot of color and designs...If
you need a tool that will help you create professional title and
presentation screens, Laughing Dog is a great, inexpensive addition to
your programming toolbox."

--Shareware Update Magazine, July 1992

"Despite it's mondo eccentric name, Laughing Dog is a serious program of
the screen painter variety...Also worth mentioning is Laughing Dog's own
interface -- hands down the simplest and most intuitive of screen
painters, especially with a mouse. I didn't even need the manual to
begin."

--PCM's Shareware Shopper, Sept. 1992 (OVER)

Disk Vendors and BBS Sysops can find lots of uses for the Laughing Dog
Screen Maker too:

* Use the Laughing Dog's Wildcat, PCBoard, or ANSI output to Jazz-up your
BBS screens.

* Use the included text screen capture utility along with the PostScript
output option to add realistic, correctly proportioned, screen shots to
your catalogs, user documentation or promotional literature.

* Use the executable . COM file output to enhance your INSTALL.BAT or
README.BAT files on your distribution disks. Makes your batch file output
look and feel like a custom program! (see the Laughing Dog manual for more
info on enhancing batch files using the Laughing Dog's executable COM file
output)
