Farsi Screen Saver for Windows(c) 3.x
---------------------------------------
	This program (as far as I know) is the first Farsi Screen Saver 
	for MS-Windows. It brings up Farsi proverbs from a file (amcal.ffw)
	and shows them on your PC's screen. All the proverbs used in this
	program are coming from the 4 volume book of "Amca-o-Hekam" which
	is one of many great works of Mr. Ali-Akbar Dehkhoda. 

	This program comes with more than 650 proverbs, that I personally
	choosed from that book. I will try to put more and more of these 
	wonderful proverbs in my program, in a near feature. 

Requirement:
------------
	- An IBM(R) compatible  personal computer.
	
	- MS-DOS(R) ver. 5.0 or above.
	
	- MS-Windows(C) 3.1 or WfW(C)3.11 (I am not sure if this program 
	  works under NT(C) or Win95) with more than 128kByte of free memory.
	
	- About 300k Bytes of free hard disk space.
	
	- PKUNZIP(C) ver 2.04G (you can find it on many BBS's around the 
				world)

Files:
------
	REAME.TXT       This file.
	INSTALL.TXT     Information on how to install this program in Swedish
			and English.
	AMCAL.FFW       The proverb file.
	FARSISCR.INI    Initiation file for the screen saver.
	FARSISCR3.SCR   Screen Saver program.
	FARSI_1.TTF     A Farsi True Type font for MS-Windows.
	FARSISCR.HLP    Help file for this program (will be available 
			later).
	FARSISCR.ARA    An experimental version of this screensaver.
			With allmost all information in Farsi.

How does it work?
-----------------
	This screen saver works like the "Marquee" which comes with Windows
	3.x, the only difference is that FSCRSAV3 reads its data randomly 
	from a file (AMCAL.FFW) and shows them on the screen by movings them 
	slowly from right to left. 

	Size, colour, speed and position of text can be changed. Colour and 
	position of the proverbs can be set to "Random" and then it will show 
	the proverbs in different colours and on different parts of your 
	screen.

How much does it cost?
----------------------
	I wrote this program for myself, because I love Farsi proverbs and 
	they always remind me of my grand mother who used to tell us stories 
	about the meaning and origin of these proverbs. Sometimes ago when 
	I started my Farsi For Windows project, I thought it would be a good 
	idea to make a program that shows Farsi proverbs on the computer 
	screen. It was first in the beginning of 1994 when my Farsi editor 
	became stable and I could save my file without causing the system to 
	crash, then I started to write this program. 
	I am trying to increase the amount of provers in this program all 
	the time. There are still som functions which are not implemented 
	yet, which I try to when I have some "free" time from my other 
	projects.
	
	Since I did not wrote this program to earn some money, I do not want 
	people to pay for it. 

	So it is free!  The only thing I ask you for, is to let me know 
			whether you like this program or not. By sending me 
			a letter, a postcard with a picture of the town you 
			live in, or if you have access to E-mail, by writing 
			a few lines to give me your opinion about the program.
			That would be the best payment for my job.

	This means that you can install it on how many computers you want, 
	copy it and send it to your friends or put it on a BBS. There are 
	some restrictions that you must follow:

		- This program is copyright of SE&SE and should not be 
		  modified, or be included in any commercial product. No part 
		  of this program should be used in other product, without
		  the written permission of SE&SE.

		- All the files in this archive must be in the copy, 
		  specially this file and the README.WRI.

		- You should not charge people for this program, you should 
		  only charge people for the cost of the media and your work,
		  but not more than 5 US$ or 35 Skr

		- You can use FARSI_1.TTF (the truetype) font for your personal
		  use, you can include it in any publicdomain or freeware
		  program. The only restriction is to send information about 
		  the origin of that file, with your program.

		- You use this program at your own risk, I do not guarantee 
		  it's functionality. SE&SE is not responsible for any damage 
		  on your computer that directly or indirectly caused by using
		  this program. If you think this program may cause any damage 
		  to your computer, then my advice to you is :
							
							DO NOT USE IT!

PS      Please let me know if you have any  suggestion and complain about
	this program. I really appreciate it. 
	Since I am putting more and more proverbs in amcal.ffw, and I try to 
	complete those part which are not implemented yet, it would be a good 
	idea to look for new versions every now and then.
	The final version of this program will be available before the 
	end of 1995.
