This is a demo!!!  It has limitations.
----------------------------------------
This program is a demonstration version of Embellish.
It is fully functional and has all capabilities of the
release version of Embellish.  It has been provided this
way so that you may evaluate the software in its complete
form.  Please examine the license agreement (license.txt)
that was included with the program.  If the file is missing
you must contact www.dadaware.com for the file - it is a
violation to use this software without first reading and
agreeing to the terms of the license agreement.

This demo is use limited.  This means that it will cease
working after a certain number of uses.  You will be
warned as to the amount of uses availabe during the
startup of the program.


How to buy.

Before You Install Embellish

   Optional TWAIN drivers and/or pressure sensitive 
   digitizers.

   Version 2.0 or greater.  Optional TWAIN complient
   drivers and TWAIN type dll from third party sources in
   order to support scanning. Optionally PEN for OS/2
   to support pressure sensative digitizers.

   For this version of Embellish, only TWAIN support from
   CFM in Germany is working.  At a future date, we 
   expect support for drivers from Solution Technology,

   sure they are the more recent version 1.6 complient
   drivers.

   33 Mhz 486 with 8 megabytes is minimum.
   100 Mhz 486 with 16 megabytes is suggested.
   Video must support at least 256 colors,
   16 bit or 24 bit video card is strongly recommended.
   Most computers have 16 bit capable video cards, but

   video is set optimally.

            and run install.

   Win95:  If installing from CD-ROM, go to the WIN95 directory
            and run setup.

   listed above but do not change to the specified directory first.

Un-Installing Embellish
-------------------------
   OS/2:     Run INSTALL.EXE (which is included on the first disk or CDROM) to
               uninstall Embellish.  When running install, choose 'Delete and 
               reinstall'.  Select the Embellish component to delete.  After the deletion
               has occured, the install program will prompt you about
               re-installing.  At this point exit the install procedure and
               Embellish will have been removed.

   Win95:   Double-Click on the 'My Computer' icon.  In the folder that is displayed,
               find 'Control Panel' and Double-Click.  Choose 'Add/Remove Programs'
               and Double-Click.  Look for the Embellish entry in the listbox, select it
               and choose remove.

Late-Breaking News
------------------
Please check the dadaware web site
www.dadaware.com for updates and new information.  It is
important for you to register in order to receive timely information
about updates.

--- Manual Updates ---
1.  The manual section on use of the Clone tool is incorrect, refer to
the online documentation instead.

2. The manual description on the use of the Color paint implies that
intensity and saturation change will be linked to pressure.  This is
untrue, they are not pressure related.  See the online documentation 
for more information.

3.  The manual refers to Shear - Random, it should be Random Shear.


--- Added Features ---

1. A second erase paint has been added in addition to the regular erase
paint.  While painting, if the user depresses the Delete key, erasing
will occur instead of painting.  The erasing is pressure sensitive and
the type (geometry) of the eraser will be a square that is the same size
as the currently selected tool, up to a size of 15 by 15 pixels.

2. The shadow paint has an added option, Edge Fade.  This is not covered
in the printed manual, but is addressed in the online documentation.

--- Beta Users ---

It is important that beta users of Embellish remove all traces of the beta
version.  Simply remove all files (emb*.*) that were shipped as part of
the beta before installing Embellish.  Additional steps are needed, 
and differ based on operating system.

OS/2 users:
Run the inifile.cmd utility to reset your ini file.

Win95 users:
Open a Dos window.
