This screen saver consists of five images taken from several of Damsel's
most popular Real World screen savers.  We apologize for the addition of
our web address overlay on each image, but we didn't want you to forget 
where you found this great screen saver.  Rest assured this address will
not appear in any full version you order.  A list of the five filenames
follows in the order in which they first appear in the screensaver.  We
also note the full screen saver from which they came.

In order to assist the reader, the older Windows 3.x  instructions have been
left intact.  Windows 95 instructions, where different, are given either
their own sentences or are indicated by the use of parentheses.

This is the only time this README.TXT file will appear automatically. In the
future you can read the file by coming back to your Windows 3.x Notepad, 
located under Accessories in your Program Manager menu, and opening the 
README.TXT file found in the 02RWDMSL directory, or by two clicks on the 
filename directly from within File Manager.  In Windows 95 the Notepad is 
reached from the Start button followed by Programs\Accessories\Notepad.  
You may also read the file from your C:\> DOS prompt by typing 
TYPE C:\02RWDMSL\README.TXT | MORE.  You may exit this file at any time by 
clicking on the minus sign of Windows 3.x's Notepad window at the upper 
left-hand corner, or by clicking on the "X" Close button in Windows 95's 
Notepad upper right-hand corner.

This README.TXT file can be printed in a variety of ways.  In MS-DOS you can 
print it at any time from your C:\02RWDMSL> prompt by typing 
COPY README.TXT PRN and pressing Enter.  Within Windows it can be printed 
from the Notepad or from any other word processing program that can open a 
.TXT file.  In Windows' Notepad you should set File\Page Setup\Left Margin 
to as low a value as possible before printing to insure that each line will 
print in its entirety.  This text file will not appear during the actual 
running of the screen saver.

4MB RAM, and a hard disk with 2MB free disk space. 

Damsel products run with MS-DOS 3.1 or higher using Windows 3.1 or higher.

4.  SETTING UP YOUR SCREEN SAVER 

To access this screen saver exit this README file by clicking on the minus 
sign or the Close ("X") button of the Notepad window.  Then, turn off any 
other screen savers you may be using unless they are the ones linked 
directly to your Desktop (Display) Accessories module, following the 
manufacturer's instructions.  

    *** ACCESS IN WINDOWS 3.X ***

To access your Damsel screen saver from Windows' Program Manager,

1.  Double click on your Main icon.
2.  Double click on the Control Panel icon. 
3.  Double click on the Desktop icon.  
4.  Once you are in the Desktop dialog box open the list 
    in the Screen Saver area by clicking the button at the right 
    of the box titled "Name:" (or by pressing TAB several times to go to 
    the box, followed by ALT+DOWN ARROW).  
5.  Scroll on the slide bar until you find the screen saver titled 
    "Real World 2".  Click once on the title to select it.  You may 
    also select the "Delay" time (of inactivity) in minutes which will 
    precede the initiation of any screen saver selected.  Password 
    protection is also available and is described in the next section.
6.  After selecting the Real World screen saver choose OK in the 
    upper right-hand corner of the dialog box and exit back to the opening 
    screen.  The screen saver will now appear after the initial chosen 
    period of inactivity passes.  

    *** ACCESS IN WINDOWS 95 ***

1.  Press or click your mouse on the Task Bar's Start button.
2.  Highlight or click on Settings, from the first menu.
3.  Click on Control Panel, from the second menu.
4.  When the Control Panel window opens, double click on the Display icon.
5.  Click on the tab titled Screen Saver.
6.  Scroll down the list of screen savers and click on the name "Real
    World 2".  At this point you can also set the screen saver's "Wait" 
    time or enter a password.  Password details are available in the next
    section. 


5.  SCREEN SAVER FUNCTION AND FEATURES

All of Damsel's screen savers have preset display times and transition
effects (the methods used to transition between one image and the next).  
Most of this screen saver's image files are stored in the JPEG format.  
The length of time required to decompress each image and perform transition 
effects will depend directly on the size and speed of your microprocessor 
(386, 486, or Pentium class) and the power of your video graphics card.  

Damsel has set the display times to be approximately 25 seconds for each 
image using a 486-type machine running at 33 Megahertz.  Faster 486 and
Pentium machines will exhibit shorter display times.  Users with 386-
type machines will notice display times of up to one minute and an
initial blank screen lasting up to one minute as the microprocessor 
decompresses the first image.  Some blank screen time will also appear
between transition effects on slower machines.

Your screen saver has been installed in the "Mouse Aware" mode, meaning that
any movement of the mouse will disengage the screen saver.  Disengagement
may take several seconds if the program is interrupted during one of the  
image transitions.  The "Mouse Ignore" mode is not functional in this screen
saver.  Also, this screen saver has no sound track, so the Sound On/Sound Off
toggle button is inoperative.  The program will recommence using the next 
image in its sequence when the selected delay time reactivates the screen 
saver.        

Damsel screen savers have incorporated the same Password protection scheme 
offered by the original Windows screen savers.  This feature is found in the
Setup (Settings) dialog box of the Screen Saver section of the Desktop 
(Display) dialog box (accessed by the Program Manager\Main\Control Panel\
Desktop command sequence in Windows 3.x, or by Windows 95's Start\Settings\
Control Panel\Display\Screen Saver command sequence).  Once there, the 
choices are found on the left side of the upper tool bar. 

A click on the Password button (the 'Key' icon) brings up a screen with the 
"Enter New Password" entry line.  As you type in your selected password, 
asterisks will appear for each letter.  Clicking on the OK button will bring
up a confirmation screen where you will be asked to reenter the same pass-
word.  Clicking the OK button here will return you to the original Setup 
(Settings) screen.  Click on the Exit icon or the Windows' "X" at the upper 
right-hand corner to leave this box.  Note that if you have several Damsel 
products, they will all use the same password.  A change to a password for 
one screen saver will affect them all.

Exiting will activate your password protection. With the screen saver 
activated, any motion of the mouse will bring up an Enter Password dialog 
box.  The password must be correctly entered in order to gain access back to
the active Windows environment.  If you forget your password your best 
option is to download another copy of this program from our website or give 
us a call.  We can attach a copy of the very small PGX.INI file that holds
password info in a brief reply to your query.  You can then overwrite your 
PGX.INI file with ours.  Ours will contain no password.

If you wish to change or remove the password you must return to the Setup
(Settings) screen of the Screen Saver section of the Desktop (Display) 
dialog box.  To enter a new password follow the same procedure as described 
above.  To remove the password simply click on the OK button of both the 
Enter New Password input screen and the Reenter New Password screen without 
filling in the input line.


6.  JPEG IMAGE COMPRESSION

In order to save space on your hard disk Damsel uses JPEG graphics file
compression techniques on most images used in the screen saver.  JPEG, a
standard developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group, is a complex 
compression method that gives the developer control over the degree to which
a file is reduced in size for storage.  This method does result in loss of 
image fidelity since individual pixel data is not maintained.  At high 
compression ratios , the mathematical algorithms average large groups of 
pixels resulting in a reduced number of colors and image blockiness when 
displayed.

Damsel Software Group has elected to set the trade-off between disk space
and image quality a bit more in the direction of high image quality.  
Each image is manually optimized to meet image quality requirements without 
sacrificing valuable hard disk space.  You can be sure that every Damsel 
screen saver you order abides by these same rules of conscience, to bring 
you the best imagery possible with today's computer graphic capabilities.


7.  MONITOR DISPLAY

This program configures the image display to your screen by first reading
your on-line graphics display format.  If your monitor is not configured
for 256 colors, the program will display 256-color images by constructing a
16-color standard VGA dithered image from the colors available in this 
format.  Usually, the result of this mathematical process is visually 
grainy, looking much like a needlepoint design for the images in this screen
saver.

If you find the images barely recognizable and you have a minimum of 512K 
RAM on your video display board, there is probably a driver you can load 
which will support 256-color display.  Consult your machine and Windows' 
documentation for more information regarding your specific situation.


8.  WALLPAPER

To use Damsel's images as wallpaper for Windows the picture file format for
this screen saver must be changed from JPG to Microsoft BMP format.  Your 
Windows program does not have this capability, it must be purchased from a 
third party vendor.  These programs can be purchased as stand-alones for 
under US$100.00.  


9.  UNINSTALLING YOUR SCREEN SAVER

Your screen saver has been loaded to a directory named 02RWDMSL unless you
chose otherwise during the installation procedure.  In order to enable you
to access the screen saver Damsel has loaded two additional files into your
WINDOWS directory, 02RWxxxx.INI and 02RWxxxx.SCR, where "x" can be any 
number.  If you have chosen a password, the program has also copied PGX.INI 
to the WINDOWS directory.

To remove the screen saver from your hard disk simply delete all files in
the 02RWDMSL directory (or your own directory name chosen during 
installation) and the 02RWxxxx.INI and 02RWxxxx.SCR files located in your 
WINDOWS directory.  This can be done quickly from your Windows 3.x File 
Manager, found in your Program Manager's Main menu, or from your Windows 95 
My Computer or Explorer applet.  Though not required for the continued 
functioning of Windows, popular uninstall application programs may be 
used to seek out and remove small lines of code that Windows adds to its 
own system files.

Also, remove PGX.INI if present.  If PGX.INI contains an active password and
you do not remove the file, the next time you load any Damsel screen saver
you will find that the old password has immediately been attached to it.  If
you have forgotten that old password, you will have to manually copy a new
PGX.INI file into your WINDOWS directory in order to overwrite the old pass-
word.  You can find this screen saver PGX.INI file in the 02RWDMSL 
directory.
