"Show-It-All" 1.0
"Multimedia Slide Show / Screen Saver Authoring System"
BOISE, ID - Bourbaki, Inc. announces the release of Show-It-All, a multimedia
slide show and screen saver authoring system. Riding the wave of enthusiasm
generated by our fractal screen saver for Windows, "A Touch of Chaos," users
expressed a desire to create their own shows, with their own images, sounds...
With Show-It-All, the sky's the limit.
Show-It-All is an icon based, "drag and drop" multi-window graphic environment.
It enables you to create and compile dynamic slide shows to run as screen
saver shows under Windows, or from DOS using one of the utilities that comes
with the system. It supports a variety of image formats, including FF0
(Bourbaki's fractal file format), BMP, GIF, and PCX. It also supports WAV and
VOC sound files, and Autodesk's Animator FLI and FLC files. Integrating all
of these provides a playground for creating the screen saver of the week, or
even the day. Make them artsy, make them sexy, make them funny, make them
informative, make them talk, make them walk... Don't settle for the same old
thing - "Have it your way."
Creating shows is as simple as dragging "thumbnails" from the image Browser,
and/or icons from the Toolbox, and dropping them in the slide show window.
Once in the show window, click on them to specify all the image and palette
load effects, delays, and loop counters. Icon settings also allow for
wildcards and "variable" specifications, enabling simple shows to run with
the ultimate in variation and diversity. Run shows from within the
environment to test them out and fine tune them. When perfected, compile
them and load them under Windows with "A Touch of Chaos," or the included
screen saver module.
Dynamic image loading effects include venetian, random, slide, diagonal, drip,
explode, sand, spiral, split, weave, wipe, and blackout. Images can also be
scaled and loaded into specified window positions on the screen. Palette
loading effects include strobe, random, venetian, pour, and fade. Other
effects settings include speed, direction, and grain size. Animation and
sound files also provide their own loop counter settings.
With the growing availability of high quality clip art, "Image" CD ROMs,
(including the new FracTools CD), and Kodak Photo CD, Show-It-All provides a
new and creative vehicle for communication. In the compiled format,
distribution, to users with "A Touch of Chaos" or our generic screen saver
module, requires only a single file. Possible applications range from
personalized family photos, to kinetic art, to "special interest" fund
raisers, to fantasy, to voice annotated greeting cards, to corporate
reports, to corporate mission messages, to advertising...
Looking for a new business or moonlighting opportunity, try custom screen
savers. For serious user / developers, who want to develop, distribute
and/or market their own custom screen savers, we offer a runtime version of
the screen saver module with several flat fee distribution license options
based on volume.

800x600-16, 640x400-256, 640x480-256, 800x600-256, 1024x768-256. In addition,
it supports the use of VESA drivers on "S3" based Windows Accelerator cards.
