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!
