Proteus Professional Demo System 7.0 There's nothing like a great software demo to show off your product's features, or a well designed tutorial to teach your users how to operate your product. But until now, creating demos, tutorials, and other interactive slide shows has been a time-consuming hassle. Today Proteus makes it fast and easy! With Proteus, you'll readily create some of the most exciting software demos and tutorials you've ever seen. The clear pull-down menus, full mouse support, context sensitive help, extensive tutorial and easy to read documentation make the Proteus Professional Demo System simple to understand--even if you have little or no programming experience. And with over 30 video effects, animation, music, keyboard and mouse control, conditional branching, data entry, file operations, external program execution, DOS and Windows screen grabbers, and full-featured text and bitmapped screen painters, Proteus gives you everything you need to create truly outstanding demos. Proteus is filled with special features for bitmapped demos. For example, the Graphic command lets you cut a bitmapped image, scale it, combine it with other images, change its palette and locate it on screen. When you edit a cutout in the screen painter, Proteus remembers the size and position of the image. With the Graphics Text Editor you can create bitmapped text popups with borders and special effects like rotation and transparency--and distribute the demo without the font. You can even create interactive demos where the mouse changes shape as it hovers over active areas. Put all this together, and you can see that Proteus is the perfect tool to demo your Windows applications from DOS. Proteus also offers you great options for your distribution demos. You can create demos that run in real mode with EMS support, or in protected mode to use all available system RAM. You can also distribute demos as a single executable program that combines the runtime version with all your demo files. With Proteus, there are no sign-on screens, copyright notices or royalties to pay. Your demos are safeguarded against tampering and can be set to expire after a specific date. Installing Proteus is easy. All you need is an IBM compatible computer; MDA, CGA, MCGA, EGA, VGA, or SVGA adapter; at least 2 MB of memory; and DOS 2.1 or greater. Demos you distribute can run on systems with only 640K of RAM, with the real mode model and limited graphics. And Proteus comes with a complete 30-day money-back guarantee. So if you want to build dynamite demos and terrific tutorials, throw away that outdated demo maker you've been using, put your compiler back up on the shelf and step up to the Proteus Professional Demo System!
