SUMMARY

AD Reader is a shareware program that allows you to use your favorite bitmaps (.BMP) 
with your After Dark Screen Saver. Simply select the bitmaps, choose the effect and
AD Reader will take care of the rest. You'll never get bored  again watching the 
same screens again and again...and again....!!! Simply copy the bitmaps you like 
to your hard disk and replace them once you get bored or read them from your favorite
CD ROM directly.  It's like designing a new screen saver every time you like!
Here are some registered used comments:

"...I scanned some family pictures and made a screen saver with the
photos we took in our last vacation...my wife and children love it!.."

"...I made my own screen saver with all the pictures I downloaded from my
favorite BBS...once I got bored, I simply replaced them with new pictures!"

"...I hated to see the same pictures over and over. The guys at the office
told me "When are you gonna get rid of that screen saver? almost everyday...
now, I can change my screen saver every week...I even made one screen saver
with my company logo (my boss love it...)... great work! and I hope many register
as I did..."

"... I don't have a big hard disk so I hate to install a screen saver that
required 3.5 Mb of hard disk space... I simply tell AD Reader to read the
images directly from my CD ROM or over the network in the office.."

This is a shareware program. This means that you are allow to have a 15-day trial period. 
After that, you must register because:
1) it's the right thing to do 
2) it's nice to be honest 
3) because..I don't know exactly why...but I feel I can trust you....(^-^)


If you register, you will receive the latest version of AD Reader, 
the "Unregistered Copy" messages will be gone and your name will be branded
in the AD Reader Dialog (you will have a personalize copy of the program...so 
please write your name clearly , as you would like it to appear,
in the registration form..)B

Licensing
I certainly don't like authors who ask you to pay for every copy you install
For example, they ask you to pay for the copy you have at your home, to pay for 
your another copy at the office and another more for your laptop! Let's be honest,
that  it's too much. Part of the joy of writing shareware software is to know that
the registered user is using it, having fun with it, and one (the author) haven't ripped
you in the process. So if you register, you will have the license to install
AD Reader in as many computers as you like, PROVIDED that those computers are YOUR
computers. This means that you can install AD Reader in YOUR home computer,
at YOUR office computer, in YOUR laptop, at YOUR Dacha...(Do you really have one? Whoww!!)
. However, you are NOT allowed to install it in your friend's computer or give it
for free to anybody.  Also, you CANNOT buy one copy and install it in a computer center (please ask about site licenses).  Let's be honest: if you do so, I won't be able to make a penny...and a penny counts...(you will be surprise to know how many people use shareware and never register...bad guys!!!)

INSTALLATION

1. Set your video resolution to at least 32K colors or 65k colors.. AD Reader works very nicely
in these modes, displaying beautiful pictures in full colors. I am really sorry,
but with 256 colors you won't be able to see anything clearly. Please consult your
video card manual or you computer manual to see how to change your video mode.
 
2. Copy the READER.AD file into your After Dark directory. If you are using
After Dark 2.0, then you MUST put the file in your After Dark main directory
(it won't work if you copy it in an After Dark subdirectory).

3. Re-start After Dark by pressing the Control Key (CTRL) and double clicking your
After Dark icon.

1) Requires Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and above.
2) After Dark 2.0 for Windows and above.
