│ This record is a means of conveying information about a software │

│ normal, "human-readable" section (you're reading it now), followed │
│ by a compressed data record. The data record contains a great │
│ deal of information in a form useable by automated tools. This │
│ allows BBSes, disk vendors, etc. to test automatically for │
│ permission to distribute, and to automatically extract product │
│ information for use in BBS files databases, vendor catalogs, etc. │
│ │
│ The VENDINFO file standard is published and is freely useable. │
│ │
│ The VENDINFO toolset includes a free end-user viewer, processing │

===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
This package contains DAZZLE Version 5.1a, by
Worldwide MicroTronics, Inc.
This document contains only a brief description of the package and its
features, along with instructions for its installation. Quite detailed
documentation is included in the package, but it is in archived form,
and is more easily read after installation. The command DAZZLE /Z will
create the DAZZLE.DOC User's Manual on your current drive (be sure to
run the command on your hard disk where there is room for the file).
DAZZLE is the 2D image engine subset from the best selling full retail
RAZZLE DAZZLE 3D ultimate DOS & Windows multimedia screen saver. This
manual (non-TSR) program has many of the same images and menus as, but
not the self-starting drivers of, the retail version. Now the generally
recognized defacto standard for self-directing computer art.
There is much you can do with this program, it is rich in features and
options. When you first run DAZZLE let your mind relax and plan on
spending some time with it. What you are watching is totally unique,
because whatever it does on the screen will not be repeated exactly for
many MANY days of use. There are literally BILLIONS of images in the
DAZZLE assortment. Every time you run it something totally new and
wonderful happens on your screen. When you are ready to explore the
spectrum of features offered by DAZZLE print out the DAZZLE.DOC User's
Manual and enjoy mastering something the likes of which you have never
seen.
DAZZLE is a shareware program. This evaluation version includes all
features of the program, and is not crippled in any way. You may use it
for up to 15 days, without charge (see DAZZLE.DOC for more details). If
you like the program, and wish to continue its use after this evaluation
period, you are required to pay for the program (see DAZZLE.DOC for more
details or use the DAZZLE /$ command to get an order form). Any fee you
may have paid to others (disk vendors, dealers, etc.) to obtain this
evaluation version was a fee for their copying and distribution
services, rather than a payment for continued use of the program.

===== Installation =====================================
The installation procedure for DAZZLE is quite simple. You will need
about 180KB of available disk space on the hard drive on which you plan
to install DAZZLE.
The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received
DAZZLE.
INSTALLING FROM DISKETTES
To install from diskette(s), you need to perform the following steps.
o Place DAZZLE distribution diskette "Disk 1" in the
appropriate diskette drive.
o Make a directory for the DAZZLE progam. A typical DOS session
would be as follows:
C:
CD \
MKDIR DAZZLE
CD DAZZLE
You have now made a directory, and have changed the default
location to that new directory.
o Execute the "PKUNZIP.EXE" or "UNZIP.EXE" program. If you do not
have either of these then contact the supplier of the diskette
for a current copy of PKUNZIP.EXE.
For example, if the distribution diskette is on drive A:, a
typical DOS command would be:
PKUNZIP A:DAZ*.zip
This will extract the DAZZLE.EXE file from the ZIP file on drive
A:. The "DAZ*.ZIP" should allow the program to work regardless of
the version naming convention used on the diskette (like:
DAZZL51A.ZIP for DAZZLE Version 5.1a, or the like).
o Once the DAZZLE.EXE program is on your hard disk, you can use this
DOS command to extract the integrated User's Manual:
DAZZLE /Z
This will create a file called DAZZLE.DOC, which has the User's
Manual and other important information and license terms. You can
print this file for a hard copy of the manual if you desire.
INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
If you downloaded DAZZLE from a BBS (or received it in the form of
archive files from some other source), you will need to perform the
following steps.
o Extract the contents of the archive file(s) in a temporary
directory on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this
varies, depending on the form in which you received the package.
In all likelihood, the fact that you are reading this text means
that you already have the necessary tools and knowledge to
perform this step. If not, you should be able to obtain
directions for this from the same source from which you received
the package.
o Complete the steps outlines above for DISKETTES, directing the
PKUNZIP program to get the DAZ*.ZIP file from whatever location
you have stored it in. Once PKUNZIP is completed you can delete
the compressed ZIP form of the file.
YOU'RE READY TO GO
Once you've complete the decompression, you should consult the User's
Manual (DAZZLE.DOC) which you extracted. That document will tell you how
to invoke the program, and will give you other information you need to
properly evaluate DAZZLE. We hope you enjoy the program.
