USER INSTRUCTIONS:
ANTIQUE TRANSPORTATION SCREEN SAVER: CLASSIC SAILBOATS

Your screen saver program has been installed into the Windows(tm) 
Desktop of the Control Panel. BE CERTAIN YOUR MONITOR IS SET TO
256 COLOR PALETTE. If you have an old generic VGA monitor which
can only display 16 colors, I'm afraid these images will look
terrible. Sorry. 
Accessing your screen saver is easy and requires only three steps:

  I.   Load the Control Panel
  II.  Run the Desktop option
  III. Select your screen saver

=======================================================================
I.   Load the Control Panel

The Control Panel is generally found in the MAIN group of your Program 
Manager. Execute the Control Panel by double clicking the Control Panel 
icon.

If you cannot find the MAIN group or the Control Panel icon, you can run 
the control panel from the File Manager by double clicking CONTROL.EXE in 
your main Windows directory (usually called WINDOWS).

=======================================================================
II.  Run the Desktop option

To run the Desktop option of the control panel, double click the Desktop 
icon in the Control Panel.

=======================================================================
III. Select your screen saver

Use the 'Screen Saver' area of your Desktop screen to select your screen 
saver. The name of your screen saver will be SAIL1SW (shareware) or 
SAIL1RG (registered). You may use the Test button to preview your screen 
saver and the Setup button to assign a password and activate/deactivate 
your mouse.

THREE GOOD REASONS TO REGISTER!

1) YOU WILL RECEIVE ELEVEN (11) ADDITIONAL RARE IMAGES OF 
CLASSIC SAILBOATS. (Actually, you will get 12 new photos 
because the photo of the schooner launching with the 
registration reminders will no longer have this text upon it.) 
THESE ARE ROYALTY FREE and may be used in any project, private 
or commercial, subject to one restriction. See below.

2) THE REGISTRATION REMINDERS WILL NOT APPEAR DURING YOUR SLIDE
SHOW.

3) You will be supporting an important project in which we are
preserving and restoring archival transportation photography, 
making individual images available to design professionals at a 
cost of $1.00 or less each. Compare that price with those typically
charged by stock photography agencies. If you are a hobbyist,
tall ship enthusiast or nautical historian, you can build a 
collection of rare and important images at very little cost. 
Such photographs rarely appear in the antique market, and when they 
do, prices are typically in the range of $20 to $60 each.

4) Only registered users will have access to our tech support.

INFO & FILE LIST: ANTIQUE TRANSPORTATION: CLASSIC SAILBOATS

The Archive

        These photographs of classic sailboats are taken 
from our private collection of classic sailing ship photography 
which took many years to assemble. With a few exceptions, none 
have ever been published before in any medium and then only many 
decades ago. 
        Many of the original prints are sepia toned but they are 
reproduced here in black and white which is truer to the majority
of the original prints when new. Also realize that many of these 
photographs were taken and printed by less than expert
photographers with film whose resolution by today's standards is
coarse and primitive. Often a significant area of the image is 
slightly out of focus and the grey scale is severely reduced 
resulting in a less than adequate range of middle tones. A few of 
these photographs date from the early years of photography and 
cameras were less than technically adequate as judged by today's 
standards. Furthermore, many of these prints were exposed to excessive 
sunlight and have faded. Dirt and dust were embedded in many of the 
negatives and are visible in such prints. A number of prints have 
suffered physical damage over the years which include creases and 
slits in the emulsion as well as degradation of the glossy emulsion 
layer itself. 
        While purists may wish that we had not restored these 
photographs, the fact remains that in their original condition the 
majority would be unusable and unattractive. If you wish copies of 
the original scans, you may contact us directly. The price is $50 per 
file and they are royalty free as are these images. But beware, they 
look terrible! Most are very dark and damages are emphasized because of 
the resolution of the scanning process. We meticulously restored each 
image using industry standard, heavy weight graphics programs expressly 
designed for this purpose. We firmly believe that we have preserved the 
historical integrity of each photograph. My wife, Leslie, is an 
exceptional graphics technician and did the final restoration of each 
image. Realize that these images are in 256 grey scale so set your monitor 
to a 256 color palette. We also recommend setting your monitor to maximum 
brightness and contrast when viewing these images; such are the settings we 
used when editing. You will then have the best possible viewing environment. 

        Here is the historical information that could be reliably ascertained 
for each photo. A number of these pictures were taken in 1935 by a
photographer who lived in Rockland, Maine and thus this collection has 
preponderance of Maine photos. Remember that if you have not registered you 
have only four of these fifteen graphics files which are indicated by an 
asterisk *. REGISTER TODAY!! How can you be satisfied with only four of these 
marvelous sailboats?

RELEASES SCHEDULED FOR 1995 AND BEYOND!

        Additional releases in our series of screen savers whose 
theme is historic transportation will be forthcoming. Each registered 
version will contain 15 royalty free, 8 bit TIF images in 256 grey scale. 
These photographs are rare: most exist as single prints made by photographers 
many, many decades ago, some more than a century old. These archival images 
are of extraordinary interest, to historians, hobbyists and design 
professionals. The majority have never been published before in any medium 
and their intrinsic interest is exceptional. The originals comprise our 
personal collection which took many, many years to accumulate. This series 
offers you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a collection of the 
rarest transportation photography which is truly of museum quality. Except 
for an occasional old stereo card, there is no possibility that you would 
see any of these prints in the public marketplace. 

1) Additional screen savers which feature 19th century
locomotives will be released in the coming months. If you purchase 
the entire collection, there will be no duplicate photos!

2) 1995 will see the publication of additional photo collection/
Windows screen savers featuring classic tall ships from the 
great age of sail.

3) Also scheduled for 1995 release is a screen saver of antique
bicycle images. Obtaining a variety of early bicycle photos is
one of the most difficult collecting tasks in the realm of
historic transportation photography.

4) In 1996, we plan to publish screen savers that feature
archival photography of early trolley cars, electric trains, 
late 19th and early 20th century warships and early aviation.

The format of each registered product will remain the same: 15 
superb, royalty free images for $15. Stock photo agencies
typically charge license fees in excess of $100 for commercial
use of their images. There will be no duplicate photos throughout 
our entire collection of archival transportation screen savers. 

If you register this product, you will automatically be placed
upon our mailing list to be notified as each volume in the
Antique Transportation Screen Saver series is released. Be
certain to indicate an e-mail address on the registration form:
we distribute a great deal of our publicity as e-text.
