TO REGISTER PRESENTATION WIZARD 
-------------------------------

Presentation Wizard is distributed as shareware, 
software that you can --- "Try Before You Buy." --- 

We invite you to evaluate Presentation Wizard to see if it's 
suitable for your needs. If you like it, please register it. 
If it turns out not to be what you need, or if you don't feel 
it's worth registering, please delete it from your hard drive 
and accept our thanks for trying it out. If you do productive 
work of any sort with this software, you are no longer 
evaluating it.

The registration for Presentation Wizard is $30. Add $5.00 for 
shipping and handling if you'd like the current version sent 
to you on CD-ROM.

After evaluating Presentation Wizard, check out the Registration 
and Technical Support document and the Order Form document in 
the program's folder for information on the many options 
available to register, or order the program on CD-ROM, by phone, 
fax, mail or via our on-line secure server. 

The unregistered evaluation copy of the most recent release of 
Presentation Wizard may be distributed freely in its unaltered 
state as long as the means of distribution are in keeping with 
Alchemy Mindworks' current policies for shareware distribution. 
The current policies are summarized in the SHAREWAR.HTM file 
which is added to the program's folder during installation of 
the program. 




ABOUT THIS DOWNLOAD 
------------------- 

This download contains these files: 

-- readme.txt    -- which you obviously have found, 

-- file_id.diz   -- a general desription text file, 

-- amiprs03.xml  -- a portable application description file, and 

-- PresentationWizard.exe -- the application install program. 
 
New functionality is added to Presentation Wizard from time to 
time. So it is recommended that you visit the program's 
information page, on occasion, to see if there is an update. 
The Presentation Wizard's information page is --
http://www.mindworkshop.com/alchemy/prspro.html. 

A CRC value can be used to check the integrity of a file you 
have downloaded. By assuring that the CRC check value matches 
the CRC check value for the file in question, you will reduce 
the possibility of attempting to install a damaged archive to 
about one in 4,294,964,296 - odds even longer than those of 
winning most state-run lotteries. 

You must have the Alchemy Mindworks CRC software installed 
on your system to perform this check. Please visit the CRC 
page to download the CRC software if you do not currently 
have it. It's small, free and a valuable asset to make 
sure that your Alchemy Mindworks software has not been 
damaged in transit.




INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
---------------------------

Presentation Wizard performs best on a computer with a 
Pentium or better processor. A display adapter and a 
Windows screen driver capable of displaying more than 
256 colours are recommended. 

Presentation Wizard is used to build self-displaying, 
interactive slide shows, electronic books, brochures, 
clickable advertisements, distributable portfolios and other 
multimedia applications. Accomplish almost everything with a 
few mouse clicks. Transform your ideas into a complete, 
professional application.

Each page of your presentation can include pictures, 
animations, sounds and Windows controls such as buttons and 
list boxes. The pages can turn themselves or wait for their 
users to click on Next. Unlike the pages of a traditional book, 
they can talk to their readers if you like.

Its documents are EXE files which open on systems running 
WIN 95/98/ME/2000/NT4/XP. They can be e-mailed, distributed on 
disks and CD-ROMs, and passed over the Internet. No knowledge 
of Windows programming or other nasty digital stuff is required.




INSTALLATION OF PRESENTATION WIZARD 
-----------------------------------

Extract the file PresentationWizard.exe from this zipped file 
to a temporary folder such as c:\temp

Please install Presentation Wizard through the Run item of your 
Start menu. It is recommended that you close all applications 
before installing. Installing it through Explorer or Add/Remove 
Programs will usually fail very colourfully. 

The self-extracting Windows archive installs Presentation Wizard. 
Follow the prompts that guide you through the install procedure. 




TO UNINSTALL PRESENTATION WIZARD
--------------------------------

Use Add or Remove Programs under the 
Start -- Settings -- Control Panel.
