TO REGISTER AMI e-PAINT
-----------------------

AMI e-Paint is distributed as shareware, software that you can 
--- "Try Before You Buy." ---

We invite you to evaluate e-Paint to see if it's suitable for 
your needs. If you like it, please register it. If it turns out 
not to be to your liking, or if you don't feel it's worth 
registering, please delete it from your hard drive and accept our 
thanks for trying it out. 

The registration for e-Piant is $30. Add $5.00 for shipping and 
handling if you'd like the current version sent to you on CD-ROM.

For more information, please consult the e-Paint documentation 
or the ORDER.DOC file in the program's folder for information on 
the many options available to register, or order the program on 
CD-ROM, by phone, fax, mail or via our on-line secure server. 

The unregistered evaluation copy of the most recent release of 
e-Paint may be distributed freely in its unaltered state as long 
as the means of distribution are in keeping with Alchemy Mindworks' 
current policies for shareware distribution. The current policies 
are summarized in the SHAREWAR.HTM file which is added to the 
program's folder during installation. 




ABOUT THIS DOWNLOAD 
-------------------

This download contains these files: 

-- readme.txt  -- which you obviously have found, 

-- file_id.diz  -- a general desription text file, 

-- amipnt01.xml  -- a portable application distribution file, and 

-- e-Paint.exe  -- the application install program.


A CRC value can be used to check the integrity of a file you 
have downloaded. By assuring that the CRC check value matches 
the CRC check value for the file in question, you will reduce 
the possibility of attempting to install a damaged archive to 
about one in 4,294,964,296 - odds even longer than those of 
winning most state-run lotteries. 

You must have the Alchemy Mindworks CRC software installed 
on your system to perform this check. Please visit the CRC 
page to download the CRC software if you do not currently 
have it. It's small, free and a valuable asset to make 
sure that your Alchemy Mindworks software has not been 
damaged in transit.




INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
---------------------------

AMI e-Paint embodies robust painting functionality. It 
features a variety of selection tools; antialiased drawing 
and text; a gallery of image processing filters; multiple 
document handling; soft brushes; undo; variable magnification; 
an intuitive user interface; and extensive documentation and 
tutorials. 

You'll find e-Paint handy to fine-tune your digital photos; 
draw cells for web animations; and build graphics for business 
presentations. 

E-Paint requires a Pentium or better processor and a processor 
speed of 300 megahertz or better is recommended. A display 
adapter and Windows screen driver capable of displaying more 
than 256 colors are required to run e-Paint




INSTALLATION OF AMI e-PAINT 
---------------------------

Extract the file e-Paint.exe from this zipped file to a 
temporary folder such as c:\temp

Please install AMI e-Paint through the Run item of your Start 
menu. It is recommended that you close all applications before 
installing. Installing it through Explorer or Add/Remove Programs 
will usually fail very colourfully. 

The self-extracting Windows archive installs AMI e-Paint. Follow 
the prompts that guide you through the install procedure. 




TO UNINSTALL AMI e-PAINT
------------------------

Use Add or Remove Programs under the 
Start -- Settings -- Control Panel.
