Firehand Blaze v2.7.2 Release Notes
-----------------------------------

Firehand Blaze is an image screensaver, slideshow, and
automated desktop wallpaper changer for Windows 95, 
Windows 98,  and Windows NT 4.0 (and later).  The 
Evaluation Edition of Blaze can be installed by 
running the installation program, BlazeSet.exe.

Blaze stands on its own, or integrates tightly with 
our award-winning image browser, Firehand Ember. Blaze 
features a host of sophisticated capabilities including 
windowed and full-screen display, multiple transition 
effects (with transition randomization), file and folder 
captioning, support for multiple simultaneous slideshows, 
sequence randomization, the ability to traverse 
subfolders nested to any depth (and randomize playback
across folder boundaries), powerful background audio 
support (including support for CD audio accompaniment), 
an automatic desktop wallpaper randomizer, and more! 
Simply point Blaze at a folder -- or set of folders -- 
containing any number of JPEG images, TIFFs, Windows or 
OS/2 Bitmaps, PNG files, PCX graphics, Windows metafiles, 
RLE images, Kodak Photo CD images, Targa files, or GIFs 
(even animated and transparent varieties) and then sit 
back and enjoy the show!

Best of all, like Firehand Ember, Firehand Blaze is 
compatible with the Firehand Media Xtension Add-In. So, 
not only is Blaze the ultimate slideshow and screensaver 
for your graphic files, it's also the ultimate slideshow 
and screensaver for your digital audio, video, and MIDI 
files! Imagine a looping multimedia screensaver of your 
favorite movie clips played back-to-back (with smooth 
transitions in-between) accompanied by your favorite CD 
audio track! 

Blaze v2.7.2 is a shareware demo.  It may be freely 
redistributed, and is free to try out.  If you decide to 
purchase the full, registered version of the product, the 
fee is only $24.95 US.

If you have any questions or problems with Blaze, please 
contact support@firehand.com.  We pride ourselves on our 
responsiveness.

Thank you for your interest in Firehand Blaze!
