Description:
------------
Animated Screen lets you create Windows screen savers, stand-alone
presentations and animated .GIF files that you can give to your friends
and customers or publish at your Web site. You can also use Animated
Screen to start your own screen saver business, selling custom shareware
screen savers, with your company listed as the author.
There are no distribution fees and, as an Animated Screen owner,
you can distribute the animations that you create in unlimited
quantities, royalty-free.

Animated Screen lets you combine an unlimited number of words,
sounds (in .WAV, .RMI and .MID formats,) and pictures (in .BMP, .GIF,
.JPG or .AVI formats.) When working with words, Animated Screen lets
you determine the font, text color, and background color;
you can also add special effects like shadows and extrusion.
When working with sounds, you can use pre-recorded WAV or MIDI
sound files, or you can use your PC and microphone to record your
own soundtracks. When working with pictures, you can place multiple
images on each screen, and determine how the images come and go,
using both fixed and random placement as well as special effects
such as bouncing images off the screen`s borders, dropping
images like raindrops, or creating fascinating star-and- meteor effects.

You can distribute your Animated Screen presentations as Windows .SCR
screen saver files, as stand-alone .EXE files, or as self-extracting
files that will automatically install your presentations into your
users` Windows System folders and set them up as standard screen savers.
Animated Screen compresses your files so that they can be sent
easily over the Internet.
