This program is SHAREWARE. Distribution of the UNREGISTERED
version of this program is encouraged as long as it is copied
in whole and remains unaltered. No fee may be asked for this
program itself, but a nominal distribution fee may be charged
for the diskette used to distribute this software as long as
the purchaser of said diskette is informed that the fee for
acquiring the diskette does not constitute payment of the
REGISTRATION FEE. Vendors, see the file VENDOR.TXT for
details.
Distribution of the REGISTERED version of this software
without purchasing this program by paying the registration
fee or without a license granted from ACCIDENTAL SOFTWARE
is prohibited.
NOTE: You may have a version of this program without the,
file "VBRUN300.DLL" provided. This was done to save disk
space and download time. VBRUN300.DLL is widely available
and in fact may already be in your windows\system sub directory.
Vbrun300.dll is required for this program to function. It
will be necessary to obtain a copy of VBRUN300.DLL in order
to install and run this program.
System requirements. The minimum system needed to run Canticle
Images is an IBM 386 with a 256 color video system. The images
provided with this program are 24 bit highly compressed pictures.
Due to the extreme compression and extensive decompression needed
to display these images, a 486/33 processor is recommended as the
minimum system necessary to provide satisfactory program performance.
A video mode of 16 bits (65536 colors) or higher will provide
photo quality images, 256 color video modes provide a less
satisfactory picture.
1. Canticle Images is a screen saver and image viewer for
windows. Canticle Images can play music from a CD-ROM.
Music can play as pictures are being displayed. You can
select Password protection if desired. Messages can be
left on the screen.
2. Canticle Images can be installed as a standard Window's
Screen saver from Window's desk top, or can be used from
the Program Group that Canticle Images makes for windows.
Canticle Images can be used as both.
3. Canticle Images can be used as a screen saver and/or an
image viewer. If you have installed Canticle Images as a
screen saver, and want to use it from the program manager
to leave a message or make your system password protected
while you have to be temporarily away, you can do this by
double clicking the Canticle Images Icon. If Canticle Images
is running from the program manager, it will not invoke
itself as a screen saver even if the amount of time has
passed to call it as a screen saver from the desktop.
How do I install the program?

Trouble shooting.
1. In some cases, if you are using a program that is
accessing or using a DLL or other file that Canticle
Images uses and installs, you may receive a message
during installation that warns you that a file can not
be installed since it is already in use by your system.
You can choose Ignore to this warning and the program
should install correctly.
2. If you receive a message that tells you the file
THREED.VBX cannot be copied, your system already
has the file THREED.VBX in the windows/system sub
directory. Some versions of the file THREED.VBX
fail version checking by the Canticle Images setup program
and cannot be overwritten. This will cause the Image
Master + setup to fail. If this occurs, you must remove
or rename the existing file THREED.VBX already in your
windows/system subdirectory so that the setup program
provided with Canticle Images can install the newer version of
THREED.VBX to your system.
