INSTALLATION
That heading may be somewhat misleading, but I don't have a better one.
This product is distributed as shareware & is in a ZIP format. If you
are reading this manual either from the screen of your word processor,
editor or in printed form you already have access to all the files. This
manual is not meant to substitute for your DOS manual, instructions for
your word processor, layout, paint or draw program.
In this manual the assumption (yes I'm aware of that connotation) is
made that you have a good understanding of DOS & are familiar with the
program that you choose to use with the Medical Clip Art. If this is not
true, please join a local users group, spend sometime haunting the
counter of a good software store, call the help line of the software
manufacturer, go to your public library & check out one of the many good
books for new users, take an adult education course at your community
college (Making Friends With My PC 101), get a subscription to a
computer magazine or as a last resort spend some time reading your
software's instruction manual.
Having said all that, copy the clip art files to your hard drive under
the subdirectory name of your choice or store them on a floppy disc.
File the original *.ZIP file in a safe place & make a backup copy of the
clip art files.
Okay, Okay; a quick refresher course:
From the DOS prompt; (exit your shell program - Word Perfect sells a
nice one called OFFICE) It should look like; C> or C:\>, Enter "MD
CLIPART" (no don't type the " symbols)(MD tells your computer to Make a
subDirectory). You can substitute any subdirectory name (up to 8
letters) for CLIPART. Now enter "CD CLIPART". (CD = Change Directory to)
Enter the DOS command "COPY A:\*.*" (use COPY B:\*.* if that's where the
clipart is) to copy all the files to you hard drive. If you just did
this from Windows; Enter "EXIT" to return to Windows: DON'T TYPE WIN to
return to Windows (Yes Virginia, Windows is just a big beautiful GUI
shell program)(if "EXIT" is responded to by - Bad Command Or File Name -
then & only then Enter "WIN"). Type the command to restart your shell
program. Use an UNZIP program to open the clip art files. Your in-
stallation is now complete. Start your favorite application & have at.
If the computer you use is on a network, discuss with your MIS people
the proper procedures. If more than one user will have access to the
Clip Art a Site License must be obtained. See License Section.
To compress the files that make up MEDSET1A we use PKZIP from PKWARE.
In our experience PKWARE's complete line of products are the best you
can ask for. One utility from PKWARE (PKSFX) makes our ZIP files self-
extracting & easier for the user to install.

REGISTRATION
Why Should I Register This Clip Art?
Several reasons, the least of which is that you have no rights to
continue to use it if you don't. The 94 MEDSET1A PCX clip art images are
copyrighted to the artist & registration under the terms of the license
agreement is what gives you the legal standing to use it to produce
presentations or publications. Second, only registered users are
entitled to product updates for a nominal S&H fee. Third, technical
support, this covers answering questions & MEDSET image manipulation.
Fourth, 15% discount on custom clip art. Last, but not least, registered
users can purchase bonus sets of clip art & files that augment each
MEDSET. The bonus sets also contain a printed users manual that includes
all of the MEDSET clip art printed in the image gallery rather than a
file list. If for ANY reason a MEDSET disk is EVER damaged or
unreadable, return it with $5.00 S&H, for replacement.

DOWN TO BUSINESS
The following pages set out to explain why the images are the way they
are. How to use & change them. (without trying to teach you how to use
one of 25 or so different word processors, DTP or draw programs)
Why have both filled (color) & line draw versions of the same image?
Most clip art suppliers do this. Could be just to make the package
sound better. The real answer is that not everyone has or wants to use
a draw or paint program. That user needs the choice of ready to use
images. If all you have is a word processor or layout program, your
complaint might be, why not send each image with a left & right facing
orientation in addition to left & right side & filled & line draw
versions. (P.S. registered users can ask for & receive just this type of
image transform for individual MEDSETs images - no charge except S&H if
they can't pull the rotated image from our BBS or CompuServe)
Why CGM? Or PCX?
CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) format. We have chosen the CGM
format for its almost universal acceptance either directly or as an
import file in word processing, layout & draw programs. As an example
Word Perfect Corporations (WPC), Word Perfect 5.0, 5.1, Windows & Draw
Perfect 1.0, 1.1 use *.CGM files just as though they were WPC's native
file format *.WPG. Other programs either use an Import feature or
installed file filters to do the same thing. Native file formats can
support features that CGM doesn't but don't cross to other platforms
without losing some quality or requiring a special file transfer or
conversion utility. For most images CGM has everything you need.
Having said all that about CGM why did we produce this PCX set?
From the start we planned to serve both PCX & CGM file formats. PCX is very
popular & those users need to be served. The original plan was to have a
simple translation program to allow the end user to change from the CGM
masters to PCX files. In fact we have written that program several times.
But, best laid plans of mice & men. The translator (filter) program never
worked in every situation for every file without a glitch here & there. Also
the fundamental difference between vector (CGM) files & bitmap (PCX) files
has lead to additional & unanswered questions. Vector files don't care what
size they are used at. PCX files get larger or smaller based on page size.
They suffer from the dreaded jaggies - even more so when resized from the
original drawing size. Our plan was to to have our translator program deal
with both the size & conversion details. No such luck.
When your favorite disk vendor calls & says "PCX outsells CGM - why no
PCX files?" You get tired of beating your head against the wall as well as
picturing orders not being made, you convert the masters to PCX & set up
seperate PCX packaging. So that's the long answer to the two different file
types.
The difference between MEDSET1A (CGM) & MEDSET1A PCX
The two sets contain identical files. There is no difference in the images.
PCX files have to be set up different. All MEDSET1A PCX files are converted
in Corel Draw & exported to ZSoft's Photofinish. They are then resaved at 300
(8)
DPI in 256 color (files ending *******F.PCX) or 2 color (B&W line drawings in
files ending *******L.PCX). If you use the files in a paint program that
supports only B&W or just 16 colors try using files ending *******L.PCX. You
can recolor the files in your 16 color paint program. We use 256 color paint
programs to get more subtle shadings of the images (bones aren't white until
they dry out).
MEDSET1A PCX images are not sized to each other but have a max width of
4" & max hight of 5" (2 exceptions). Size is based on using them in a 2
column DTP type layout.
A word about the testing of the PCX files - we are not as familiar with
bitmapped images as we are with vector based files. Also our testing with CGM
is long & intensive. PCX files are different in the way the size is used by
different paint programs. As this is written the PCX files have only been
tested in Z Soft's programs & Windows Paintbrush. In those programs they work
fine & should work in other paint programs. A word of caution however,
several of the files are quite large & run slow on our graphics work station
(high end 386/40 optimized to run MS Windows based graphics programs). Some
older paint programs have upper file size limits. Please feel free to
comunicate any qlitches you run into using the PCX files.
When I try to move my image it leaves pieces all over. why? (CGM)
The image has become ungrouped, either during importing or by
mistake. Bring in another copy & check to see if you can group it before
you move the image.
I want to save my image in another file format, how?
Your draw, paint, layout or word processor may just do that for
you. During translation changes my occur to the image, sometimes
undesirable changes. HiJack, a program from Inset Systems seems to be
the best program that specializes in image conversion. If you do this
often purchasing a program just for that may be worthwhile.
When I try to import a MEDSET image I have to wait a LONG time, why?
Many of the drawings are large files & complex objects. The
program, HD or Floppy drive speed, processor type & drawing all
contribute to this. Have patience. Under some conditions you may get a
FILE TOO LARGE error message. Nothing is wrong, you just tried to exceed
your system limits. Sorry, in some cases the only cure for speed or
combining complex graphics is an upgraded system.

COLORS & RESOLUTION
MEDSET clip art is developed using either Corel Draw 2.01 or
Harvard Draw 1.0. Each drawing is optimized on a 1024/768 256 color SVGA
monitor. If you are using the clip art as part of a slide, your monitor
may show the image in less than its maximum quality, but if left un-
changed it will be better in the slide than on any monitor. The excep-
tion to this; older film recorders using monitor resolution for output.
After a MEDSET drawing is finalized it is exported in CGM format in
both color filled & line draw versions. Depending on the color palette
of the program you are using color changes may take place. An optimized
color palette for Harvard Graphics 3.0 & Harvard Graphics for Windows is
available to registered users. Using clip art in Word Perfect 5.0 & 5.1
should pose no problems with colors shifting unless your display is
limited to 16 colors. If you are using the clip art in word processing
or DTP layout programs you may want to use the line draw versions. Again
if you are familiar with you software package you will be able to fully
utilize all of the features to alter the images. In general to change
color in a draw package; 1. select the image 2. ungroup the image 3. re-
select the part/layer that you wish to refill in a new color 4. select
fill & new color. Regroup the image.
TO MOUSE OR NOT TO MOUSE
One question that comes up a lot is about the actual creation of our medical
clip art. While the question comes in several forms, people seem to wonder;
where the ideas come from; are the drawings accurate; do we copy or scan
drawings from books; or how do you draw with a mouse? Well, we don't COPY or
SCAN from medical literature but we do use refference books to make sure the
drawings are not incorrect. I try not to use the word accurate when
referring to anatomical detail. Why? Well almost everyone's anatomical
details vary in a large or small degree from the next person's. You know
short people, tall people, thin people, fat people, & all the little
variables that make one person different from another. I have been a medical
photographer for the past twenty-three years and have done computer
illustrations for the past five years. My work takes me into the operating
room several times a month. Last year for the first time I saw a "normal
spleen". It is true I'm usually called when the doctors want to record
something for the medical records, which means I don't see anything routine
as a rule. What does this have to do with using a mouse? Well it all sort of
fits. When I first started doing medical illustrations on a computer I used
a mouse. I found the mouse useful for many things but I never could learn to
draw with one. I soon discovered that a digitizing tablet was what I needed.
I tried several different manufacturers. I won't go into detail on the first
three I tried, one big name and one picked for its low price. The last one I
tried (it worked so well for me I quit testing different brands) was from
KURTA. I used the Kurta IS/ONE in the 8 X 11 inch size. What a difference the
tablet made. My drawing accuracy improved, I could draw several times faster
and my wrist did not hurt anymore. The Kurta worked with Windows & had
drivers for many of my DOS applications as well. Even if a dedicated driver
is not available the Kurta tablet will act just like a Microsoft mouse if it
needs to. The artist has a choice of several different pens, both corded and
cordless as well as pucks, both corded and cordless (sort of looks like a
mouse, but, is more accurate). The Kurta tablets can be programmed to work
(10)
with overlays and a macro like feature for complex drawing programs. I have
since added a 12 X 12 inch version to my work station and find I like the
larger version even better. The tablets don't use up much more desktop real
estate than a mouse pad (OK the 12 X 12 does). If you like to sketch a
drawing before the final version you will love the clear overlay on the top
of the Kurta pad. Do a quick sketch and lift up the clear cover and use it
for reference as you do the final version on the computer. If any MAC users
are reading along you can get Kurta tablets too. After the purchase I had the
good fortune to find the Kurta company was located in Phoenix, AZ, just a few
miles from my home in Glendale. Nice for support, something Kurta is very
good at. Kurta pads can be a little more complex than a mouse to set-up. This
is not as big a difference as I thought it would be. When I hit a snag,
rarely, Kurtas tech support has always solved my problem over the phone. I do
have one complaint, I wear the paint off of the pen barrels in about a year.
Guess I use it too much.
SIZE, ROTATION & MIRROR
Using your draw program you can re-size, flop & rotate these images. Try
this to add spice to your slides or articles. Some layout programs &
Windows based word processing programs also allow this to a limited
degree. These images will hold their quality when re-sized. Only if
converted to a bit-mapped image for use in a paint program do the images
suffer in quality when re-sized. (HINT use a draw program to re-size to
the required dimensions then convert to a bit-mapped file.
TEXT & ARROWS
With very few exceptions MEDSET images contain no text or arrows
pointing to land marks. The images are designed to let the user point
out as much or as little as needed to illustrate only the point they
wish to make. (Besides this cuts down on letters telling me I need to
retake basic anatomy.) Your draw or graphics program generally supports
these needs quite nicely. Corel Draw has the largest (I think) on board
support for this type of embellishments. In Corel, select the text tool
& while holding down the shift key click on the drawing where you want
the symbol. A new option box will open & list 3000 arrows, lines &
symbols. Almost enough reason to buy Corel Draw for that feature.
EQUAL TIME
You may have noticed the reference to Harvard Draw 1.0 as one of
the programs used to develop MEDSET clip art. Since I just mentioned how
much I like Corel Draw's symbols section, I must confess most of the
drawing is now done in Harvard Draw. After years of being a loyal Corel
Draw user I switched to Harvard Draw. Why? Speed. Speed & more SPEED.
(11)
Harvard Draw is much faster than Corel in many aspects. It is faster in
file save & retrieve. It's faster in screen rewrite time & faster as it
manipulates complex objects during export. Another big plus is that I
can draw with a full color image in front of me not just a wire frame.
I no longer have to switch back & forth to see my drawings or my
mistakes. In addition a contour selection is part of the fill choices.
Most all our new MEDSET drawings are now created using Harvard Draw. I
create many slide shows in Harvard Graphics, both DOS versions & now for
Windows. Harvard Draw has a direct export feature to the various HG*
file formats. While Corel Draw does offer some features that are not
supported by Harvard Draw, they are features that I, A. Never Use; or B.
Hardly Ever Use. That may be different in your particular applications,
but with me speed wins every time. Having the luxury of both programs is
great, but right now if I could have only one, Harvard Draw 1.0 gets my
vote over Corel Draw 2.01.
VIRUSES
All MEDSET clip art is created on a desktop PC that has no program
or file loaded that is not scanned carefully for viruses. Before
shipping, distribution or uploading each MEDSET group is once again
check for the presence of more than 1100 viruses. We currently use Virus
Scan 86B from McCaffee & Associates. (This is another one of the
programs that does its job better than any other we have found.) After
the files leave us many things can happen. We recommend that everyone
check their own computers as often as they feel comfortable. Viruses
should not cause hysteria among computer users, but "An ounce of
prevention, Oh, you know the rest".
PRINTING, OR OUTPUT
Output is what this clip art is all about. We want this clip art to
help the user communicate or educate in a better, easier or more timely
manner. The color filled images are meant for screen display or to be
used in slides or overheads. The line images are meant for word
processing, layout or Desk Top Publishing programs. Following this
general rule of thumb should make output a trouble free process. With
many of the new color output devices this line has begun to blur. MEDSET
clip art in the CGM format is a vector image & re-sizing does not
degrade the image as it does in bit mapped files. Keep in mind, the more
complex images in the collection may be more of a problem if your try &
shrink them to too small a size. This occurs when the resolution of the
output device can no longer resolve the individual lines of a drawing.
Try to set printer resolutions to; Graphics = high, whenever possible.
Set the dots per inch setting to 300 DPI if that is a choice. This may
slow down the printer, but the quality will be much better. In slide
output ask for a 4K (4000 lines per inch) resolution. Again this
increases the length of time the output device needs. Some slide
services charge different rates for 2K & 4K output. Experimentation &
program knowledge will be the best way to determine how each setting on
your particular application will interact with output quality. Almost
everyone tries something new even when deadlines are tight. You live
through it & eventually learn not to. Well, hopefully.
(12)
CUSTOM CLIP ART
What is custom clip art?
Well your company logo would qualify. So would a sketch, photograph or
technical drawing of a tool or other piece of hardware. If someone in
your company draws a cartoon & you want to included it in a slide show,
the cartoon can be converted to clip art. The clip art image can then be
used in slide shows, electronic (multimedia) presentations or DTP.
How much does it cost?
I wish this question had an easy answer. We have an hourly rate for art
work & scanning with a minimum charge for each. Once your image arrives
we will call or FAX you a firm quote. A simple line drawing may run
$40.00, a complex color matched image can go as high as several hundred.
What can I submit?
Just about image can be converted to clip art. ONE VERY BIG EXCEPTION:
COPYRIGHTED IMAGES!
OKAY, pay close attention to the following WARNING!
Copyrighted images that;
A. You don't own the copyright to outright -
B. You don't have express written permission to reproduce -
WILL NOT BE REPRODUCED! NO EXCEPTIONS
Please don't ask or try to slip in an image you don't have the right to
copy. In general, any book, pamphlet, printed cartoon, magazine, sales
literature or drug company handouts can't be reproduced. Ask the
copyright owner for written permission if you must have the image. Send
a copy of that written permission with your submission. If you need Ray
Litman Photo Graphic to act as your agent & secure the permission for
you we will ATTEMPT to do that. No guarantee of success can be made in
advance & we charge for all time & expenses no matter what the outcome.
An estimate of this must be paid in advance. Most authors or artist want
the request in writing & several weeks can pass during this process.
Image conversion can't start till the copyright release is obtained.
Okay I own the image, can we just FAX you a copy?
NO, NO, & NO.
We have tried this in the past & FAX transmissions can loose important
detail. Plan ahead, send (US mail, UPS, FedEx) a quality line drawing or
finished art work in a proper shipping container. If a color match is
important, samples with Pantone numbers (ask your artist) need to be
included. Otherwise, we will try for a best color match possible.

in CGM file format do not hold any surprises when the program loads or
imports the clip art. Some draw programs need to have the image re-sized
before they are ready to edit or use.

Other programs that use or import CGM files will also work. Any program
we haven't tested is just not listed.
* Software Publishing Corp. has some programs that are limited in the
size or complexity of the CGM files that they accept. These programs
will load all files in MEDSET1 on our test computers. Some files take
several minutes to convert, they are very large files. One example;
FLLSKLAF & FLLSKLAL give error messages in HG for Windows, but still
load. Redoing the files as HGFLSKAF & HGFLSKAL they now load without the
error message. Both versions are included in MEDSET1B, the bonus pack to
MEDSET1A. Rather than limit the image for every program the six HG*.CGM
files were the way we solved the problem. ** This older version of HG is
VERY limited in file size & complexity (# of nodes). Many of the files
will import through HG's program Draw Partner. Many won't. Rather than
set all files to the lowest level program we recommend you contact SPC
to upgrade your program. See the "Other Products Section"

FILE NAMES
We have tried to find a method that makes our file names understandable.
Some clip art companies just number their files. The user must return
each time to an illustrated manual to determine what is in a particular
file.
We do offer (see registration section) a printed manual with image
gallery to registered users & this does give a quick overall view of
what is in each MEDSET. While this is very useful, as a reminder, I
would not want to look up images 10 or 15 times while I prepare a slide
show.
So ... each file name breaks down into a pattern. Using the 8 letters
that DOS allows (yes DOS file names can be larger, but no one I know of
uses that method) the first 6 letters become what is hoped to be a
descriptive title or an abbreviated descriptive title. The 7th location
will be a letter that describes the point of view for the drawing. Those
letters will be; A for anterior, P for posterior, L for lateral, M for
medial, S for superior or I for inferior. The 8th location will be
either an F or an L indicating Filled or Line drawing. Some examples
follow:
VERTLUMLF.* = Vertebra, Lumbar, Lateral, Filled (color added)
BRAIN1SL.* = Brain, 1st of several, Superior, Line Drawing
CRSSPTAF.* = Crisis Patient, Anterior, Filled
RPRO1MLL.* = Reproductive System, 1st of several, Male, Lateral, Line
Drawing
HRTINTAF.* = Heart, Interior, Anterior, Filled
NLBP1SLL.* = Needle Biopsy, 1st of several, Lateral, Line
BIOHAZSF.* = BioHarzard, Symbol, Filled
XRSZ1FLL.* = Exercise, 1st of several, Female, Lateral, Line Drawing
Please note the names included as examples are a cross section of names
from different MEDSET collections. The names are not necessarily from
the collection you are using or have registered.
During use you may find MEDSET clip art image names too vague. If you
come up with better or more descriptive names for various files, please
send them to us. Please try to follow our naming convention. We are
always open to suggestions.

Remember MEDSET1B (The list on page 16) is shipped only if you choose
the additional charge option. Save $12.50, order at the same time as
registration. This section is replaced in the printed users manual by
the Image Gallery. The Image Gallery is meant to help you locate a
needed image more quickly.

Parts of each set already exist & are being used & tested on an
ongoing basis. Registered users who show an interest are sent test
images from time to time & ask for feed back.
The dates are ones we feel will be meet. Disclaimer time: We
reserve the right to change any image or group of images, as necessary,
without notice. The timetable above is an estimate & should not be
relied upon in anyway. The ability to deliver image groups as set forth
should not be considered a promise or promise to perform. Guess what,
some groups MAY be ready early.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT
What do you offer in the way of technical support & how do I get it?
What we offer is very simple, to our registered users we offer to
help resolve conflicts in:
1. Loading 2. Use 3. Output
Since we have only the programs listed in the "Tested Products" section
the support for other programs may be advice only. We will try to make
sure the product is usable & the customer is getting the output they
need.
As mentioned we will also rotate or mirror images for registered users
that need that service. (yes there really are people who do layout only)
If that need arises & you can't find local help, tell us which image &
how you need it. We will change it & put it on CompuServe, or our BBS
for downloading. We will also mail out the change(s) on disk for a $5.00
media & S&H fee.
How do I reach you?
Three ways.

OTHER PRODUCTS
MEDSET-HG-SYM
For Harvard Graphics 2.3 we do have a special set of Medical SYM files
that are a grouping from all MEDSETs & are drawn with the limits of that
program as the guide. MEDSET-HG-SYM is $40.00 & contains 230 files.
HG 2.1, 2.3, 3.0 SPELL CHECKER
This is a shareware spell check medical dictionary addition for these
Software Publishing Corp. programs; they contain several thousand
medical terms. They replace the personal spell check files. Just copy
them to the sub-directory where your HG program resides. Next time you
spell check in Harvard Graphics your medical terms won't pop up as Word
Not Found or nearly as often. We need to know which Harvard Graphic
version you have. HG MEDCHECK is a $6.00 registration.
HEIDI TTFONT & Corel Font
An all caps headline (shareware) typeface. A bold face that is one I saw
in a type book & liked, then couldn't find from any source. I created it
in Corel Draw to look similar to the face I liked & named it for my
daughter. HEIDI is in either True Type or Corel Draw compatibly style.
HEIDITTF or HEIDI_CD is just an $8.00 registration.
