The Barking Cards Lite Readme File  5/31/97

Barking Cards Lite includes one of our favorite Father's day
cards (The Ball Game) for you to personalize and send. 
You can customize the text in the cards, add more text, add
photos, images or clip art, record voice messages or add 
pre-recorded sounds.  When you're done personalizing a card, simply 
hit the DONE button on Main Editing screen and follow the instructions
for saving the card.  You can then send the self playing card to your
recipient by attaching it to an email or by saving it to diskette and
sending the diskette.  The self playing card will run on any Windows
3.1 or Windows 95 system with the following minimum requirements:

- 486DX (or higher) IBM PC compatible 
- 8 MB of RAM
- 5 MB of available disk space
- VGA or higher Video board
- Sound card (if you want them to hear the sounds) 


Barking Cards 96, Barking Cards Birthday and Romance Editions
and Barking Cards Lite are published by:

To Install the product:

1. Use an unzipping program (like PKUNZIP) to unzip the BARKFATH.ZIP
file into a temporary directory.
2. Run the Setup.exe program from that directory and follow the 
instructions.  DO NOT INSTALL "BARKING CARDS LITE" INTO THE SAME
TEMPORARY DIRECTORY IN WHICH YOU PLACED BARKFATH.ZIP. THIS WILL CAUSE
SOME QUIRKY PROBLEMS.

Also the installation program doesn't recognize long file names so
don't use a directory name of longer than 8 characters (or the 
files won't install). 

(Sorry, the Barking Cards program is cool but the third party 
installation we chose for its small size leaves a little bit to
be desired).

Barking Cards Lite is a trial version of our Barking Cards

The Barking Cards Lite software may be distributed freely in the
original form (i.e. BARKFATH.zip) as downloaded from from any of Blaze 
Technologies' authorized distribution outlets.  You are not permitted 
to modify the software from its original form, and you are not 
permitted to distribute any installed copy  or separate files.
Please refer to the licensing agreement (LICENSE.TXT) for more

WE ALSO MARKET Barking Cards products that include additional cards.
They make a perfect gift for yourself or a loved one. Barking Cards 96
includes 25 animated cards covering the following categories:

Birthdays
Holidays
Invitations
Thank You
Congratulations (new job, baby)
Romance
Friendship  

You can get a complete description of all the cards
on the CD-ROM by choosing the Additonal Cards option
on the Barking Cards Lite program group or by
looking in the Help File.  

We believe that you'll find that we have the highest 
quality (and wackiest) animated cards on the market.
So if you enjoy the cards in our Lite Edition you might
consider purchasing the Barking Cards CD-ROM ($29.95)
so you have a wider variety of cards to send.   We also 
sell two smaller editions, the Barking Cards Birthday
Edition (with 6 cards for $9.95) and the Barking Cards 
Romance Edition (with 5 cards for $9.95). Look in 
the Barking Cards Lite help file for an order form or 
choose the ORDER FORM option from the Barking Cards
Lite menu.

For your information, here is a list of the files that are
installed by our software onto your system.

All the files are stored in the Directory that you chose 
during installation.  Barking Cards Lite does not include
an uninstall program.  To delete it from your system
just delete the directory into which you installed it.  You
will also need to delete the Barking Cards Lite program group
that was created (this will remove it from your Start menu)
