INSTALLATION REMINDERS FOR SLICER 1.0

The Spyglass Slicer Setup program fully automates the installation
of Slicer and, if necessary, the Microsoft Win32s sub-system.
Microsoft Windows version 3.1 users need to be sure that SHARE.EXE is
loaded before attempting to install Slicer.  This is necessary to
ensure that the Win32s sub-system can be properly installed.


ANIMATION

Spyglass Slicer allows you to create animation files in the AVI
format that may be viewed using Microsoft Video for Windows retail
product or the Microsoft Windows Media Player, included with Microsoft
Windows.

Under Microsoft Windows 3.1, the Microsoft Windows Media Player
requires the Microsoft Video for Windows Runtime libraries in order to
play AVI files.  The Microsoft Video for Windows 1.1 Runtime is a
publicly available library and is included with this package on a 
separate disk with separate installation.


KNOWN PROBLEMS

1. If you consistently receive error messages when generating
   animations and the program's palette becomes corrupted, 
   check if the "Image/Movie Directory" in the Preferences dialog
   is set to a valid path.  Entering a single period for the path
   is always valid.

2. When animation generation fails due to momery shortage, the
   program may wind up in a state where most menus are inaccessible.
   You can exit the program by double-clicking on the program's
   close box.  Alternatively, opening additional data files by
   dragging them from File Manager into the Slicer window will
   usually fix the problem.


We are always happy to hear from our users.  If you have any problems,
comments or suggestions, please contact Spyglass Technical Support.
