Before You Install Embellish
---------------------------------
   Software Requirements
   ---------------------

   * Windows 95:
   Optional TWAIN drivers and/or pressure sensitive 
   digitizers.

   * OS/2:
   Version 2.0 or greater.  Optional TWAIN complient
   drivers and TWAIN type dll from third party sources in
   order to support scanning. Optionally PEN for OS/2
   to support pressure sensative digitizers.

   For this version of Embellish, only TWAIN support from
   CFM in Germany is working (http://www.cfm.de)
   At a future date, we expect support for drivers from
   Solution Technology, Inc.  If you are trying to use
   drivers from STI, be sure they are the more recent 
   version 1.6 complient drivers.

   Hardware Requirements
   ---------------------
   33 Mhz 486 with 8 megabytes is minimum.
   100 Mhz 486 with 16 megabytes is suggested.
   Video must support at least 256 colors,
   16 bit or 24 bit video card is strongly recommended.
   Most computers have 16 bit capable video cards, but
   many users don't have the machine set to use this
   mode.  Check your computer's setup to see if your
   video is set optimally.

Installing Embellish
-------------------------
   OS/2:  If installing from CD-ROM, go to the OS2 directory
            and run install.

   Win95:  If installing from CD-ROM, go to the WIN95 directory
            and run setup.
           Because of the way Windows handles file associations
           (the .bmp like extension of file names), the installation 
           for Embellish is broken into 2 parts.  The first is
           accomplished by the setup.exe command.  After running
           this, Embellish can be run and is fully functional.
           However Embellish will not be associated with any of
           the graphics files it can read.

           When a program is associated with a file extension, the
           program's icon will be shown when you view the file's 
           icon and the program will be launched when the user
           double clicks on the file's icon.  

           We do this 2 part install because you may want to keep
           files associated with an image viewer, a web browser or
           whatever.  If you decide that you do want the file's
           associated with Embellish, run the program regsetup.exe
           after installing Embellish (it will be in the same 
           directory as Embellish).  Read the instructions it
           provides and be sure to not to destroy the backup file
           it creates.  This file is needed if you ever want to
           uninstall Embellish.


   If the files are downloaded or from floppy disks, run the commands
   listed above but do not change to the specified directory first.

Un-Installing Embellish
-------------------------
   OS/2:     Run INSTALL.EXE (which is included on the first disk or CDROM) to
               uninstall Embellish.  When running install, choose 'Delete and 
               reinstall'.  Select the Embellish component to delete.  After the deletion
               has occured, the install program will prompt you about
               re-installing.  At this point exit the install procedure and
               Embellish will have been removed.

   Win95:   Double-Click on the 'My Computer' icon.  In the folder that is displayed,
               find 'Control Panel' and Double-Click.  Choose 'Add/Remove Programs'
               and Double-Click.  Look for the Embellish entry in the listbox, select it
               and choose remove.  If you did the file association (regsetup)
               mentioned in the install section, you will need to run it again
               before you perform the normal un-install.

--- Manual Updates ---
1.  The manual section on use of the Clone tool is incorrect, refer to
the online documentation instead.

2. The manual description on the use of the Color paint implies that
intensity and saturation change will be linked to pressure.  This is
untrue, they are not pressure related.  See the online documentation 
for more information.
