6/22/92 (This is the README file) TOOLS OF THE TRADE Antique Imagery distributes clip art samples as SHAREWARE. This means you may try-before-you-buy and may share these samples with friends, use them in your business, or modify as desired during an evaluation period. The SHAREWARE marketing concept allows users to evaluate software products and then decide to either REGISTER the copy or DISCONTINUE using it. If, after a 30 day evaluation, you DO wish use these images, we require a $15 (+ $3 S/H) registration fee per disk. To register simply fill in the form at the bottom of this document and return to the address below. Upon registration you will receive 1) A free registration disk of your choice. 2) A catalogue of available disks and image collections. 3) Recommendations for image viewing and editing programs. 4) Notification when new disks/libraries become available. All Images captured from original documents on a Super VGA monitor using 256 grays. This means you may use them with Paint programs, Windows, etc. An image that fills the standard VGA display (640 X 480 pixels) will print out on a 300 dpi printer at only about 2-1/8" X 1-5/8". When working with graphic images you need to remember that the display (Monitor) usually has a much LOWER resolution than the printer, hence the image will appear LARGER on the monitor. You must have a VGA monitor (or better), a "paint program", image viewer or desktop publishing package to see or use these images on-screen. Typical laser printers print at 300 dpi, so the enclosed files are well suited for use on a laser printer, but any graphics-capable printer will do. The files are high resolution so you may enlarge, shrink or distort the images with good results. The shareware files represent sample members from our various image libraries. FILE NAMES describe the contents: Hammer03 is a hammer of some sort; Gun12 is a gun; Bike15 is a bike, etc. A printed catalogue of the various collections and disk file names is available to registered users. Unless otherwise indicated all distribution disks are supplied on DOS formatted 1.44 (high density) 3-1/2 diskettes, in the popular "PCX" file format, 10 images per disk. You will need to use software capable of viewing and manipulating PCX files. Other file formats available are TIF and GIF. Besides using MS DOS formatted disks, we can supply files on high density MAC format disks as well. Each DISK in our collection is called a volume, and contains 10 individual image files. Each VOLUME is a grouping of similar images (Hammers, Vises, etc.) Each LIBRARY is a set of volumes (Tools of the Trade, Home Arts, etc.) Typically, a LIBRARY has at least 10 disks and a minimum of 100 images. Libraries Catalogued and Available: Tools of the Trade, Home Arts Libraries Under Development: Bible, Down on the Farm, Fashion, Kid Stuff, Science and Medicine, and Misc. The LIBRARY "Tools of the Trade" contains disks numbered as follows: 10 Blacksmithing Anvils, Tongs, Forge 12 Bolts Nuts, Bolts, Screws 16 Clamps Clamps 18 Draw Knife Draw Knives 22 Garden Tools Garden tools, trowels, etc 26 Hammers Hammers of all kinds 28 Keys Keys in various postures 30 Kits Tool Kits, work benches 34 Locks Locks 36 Logging Logging Equipment 38 Masonry Masonry tools & Eqpt. 42 Planes Hand Planes, wood & metal 44 Pliers Pliers 46 Plumbing Plumbers tools 50 Rigging Block & Tackle, Ropes, Hoists, etc. 52 Rules Rules, misc. measuring tools 54 Saws All kinds of saws 60 Shovels Shovels of every kind 62 Vises All kinds of vises 64 Wheelbarrow Wheelbarrows 68 Wrenches Wrenches 72 Pocket Knives Pocket Knives The LIBRARY "Home Arts" contains disks numbered as follows: 110 Barrels 112 Buckets 114 Butter 120 Cutlery 126 Kitchen Machines 128 Kitchen Utensils 132 Scissors 136 Wash Day 138 Wood Stoves 140 Pots & Pans 142 Glassware Note that the files supplied as shareware could be SMALLER in size than their typical reg. disk counterparts. When we distribute the files via online services or BBS's the files are sometimes down sized to allow a smaller distribution file. Our registered versions of the same files may be somewhat larger overall. Registered distribution disks are NOT zipped. ZIP FILES Online services and BBS's which honor the SHAREWARE concept often use ZIP files for storage and distribution. These ZIPs are special kinds of files which were created using a utility called PKZIP (tm, PKWARE, Inc.) This great utility allows a person to combine any number of individual files in a compressed manner within a single file. When a user wants to use files contained within a ZIP he/she simply UNZIP's the ZIP file and the original files pop out, good as new. It's usually easy to identify these compressed files because the file's name ends with "ZIP". A Zip file is not executable an must be UNZIPPED before the originals can be used. We often send out files named "IMAGRY1.ZIP" or "TOOLS2.ZIP". (I know, it's spelled rong!) These ZIPs contain the individual "PCX" image files along with a README file and misc. other stuff. To EXTRACT files from a ZIP you can use PKUNZIP, also from PKWARE. If you're working on a file named IMAGRY1.ZIP the basic command to extract the individual files would be PKUNZIP IMAGRY1 At that point the files contained within IMAGRY1.ZIP would hop out onto your disk (hard disk, hopefully). If PKUNZIP is located in a directory named C:\UTIL and your Antique Imagery disk is in drive A: you'd need to do the following commands to unZip the files. COMMAND INTERPRETATION --------- -------------- C: Log onto the C: drive on hard disk CD \UTIL Change to \UTIL subdirectory PKUNZIP A:IMAGRY1 Run PKUNZIP on file A:IMAGRY1.Zip If you DO NOT HAVE the file named PKUNZIP.EXE you will NOT be able to unZip a Zip file. It's important to have this utility and we suggest you order a copy for $25 from the address below. (Note that our registered disks are NOT shipped zipped.) Get the Zip utilities from PKWARE, INC. 7545 N. Port Washington Rd. Glendale, WI 53217 Some online services or BBS's allow you to download a shareware copy of PKZIP and PKUNZIP for evaluation purposes. Antique Imagery will assemble special collections for educators, corporations, collectors, public agencies, clubs, graphic artists, military, and service organizations. We have access to images of all sorts and when the CD ROM market settles out we'll offer images on CD ROM disks. DISK VENDORS- Contact our office for resale information. Please do not resell these ZIP sampler disks without our written permission. We are always interested in purchasing old documents that contain images suitable for our collection. It's not at all unusual to pay $50 for excellent materials of this nature, so please contact our office if you would like to sell ORIGINALS books, catalogs, trade magazines, etc. Compuserve ID is 73020,263 ORDER FORM I wish to license Antique Imagery's collection of images. I understand that by registering I will receive a credit for any other disk in your collection and receive a catalogue of current offerings.

Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. Please find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes finding software easy, because you can try before you buy. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it. DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT Users of Antique Imagery's image files must accept this disclaimer of warranty: "Everything is supplied as is. The author disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or consequential, which may result from the use of these images." These samples are shareware and are provided at no charge to the user for evaluation. The essence of "user-supported" software is to provide personal computer users with quality software without high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to continue to develop new products. If you find these images useful and find that you are using them after a reasonable trial period of 30 days, you must make a registration payment to Antique Imagery. The registration fee will license one copy for use on any one computer at any one time. You must treat this software just like a book. An example is that this software may be used by any number of people and may be freely moved from one computer location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it being used at one location while it's being used at another. Just as a book cannot be read by two different people at the same time. Anyone distributing Antique Imagery's files for remuneration must first contact us for authorization. This authorization will no doubt be granted to distributors recognized by the ASP as adhering to its guidelines for shareware distributors, and such distributors may begin offering these images upon authorization. You are encouraged to pass a copy of these files along to your friends for evaluation. Please ask them to register their copy if they find them useful.
