 Installation
-==============-=-- -
By the time you read this you will already have installed the filters.
They should be installed in a directory recognized by your graphics
application. Please refer to your application's manual or the
installation help in this text file

If you use a version of Photoshop before 4.0 or any other application
which will not recursivly scan for plugins in subdirectories, you
should copy all the files from the subdirectories into the plugin
directory.

Also note that the directory names are Windows '95/NT format.
The filenames are DOS-format though.

You may need to have the file "MSVCRT10.DLL" loaded in the
Windows/System directory in order to use these plugins.
This file is freely available on the internet.

 Installation instructions
-===========================-=-- -
PaintShop Pro:
1) Once Paintshop Pro is installed start the program. Then you must
   load a picture into it or open a new file. Then go to FILE
   PREFERENCES GENERAL PROGRAM PREFERENCES. A requester will open up.
   Select the tab called PLUGIN FILTERS. There are 2 areas that you
   can type in called (FOLDER INI Section). You must type in the exact
   path of where your filters are located. Then press OK. After that 
   go to the IMAGE menu and at the very bottom you should have a
   directory or name called Plug-in Filters. That's where the filters
   should be.
2) You're using either the Beta or Shareware version of PSP, these
   won't run any Adobe compatible plugins.
3) You've downloaded the wrong type; you should have the
   "Compatibility" type (filename: "rp...exe") filters. The others
   (filename: "up...exe" or "pp...exe") require the file "plugin.dll"
   which is copyrighted by Adobe.
4) You don't have the file "msvcrt10.dll" installed in you
   Windows/system directory. You can download this file from anywhere
   on the internet.

Adobe PhotoDeLuxe 1 and 2
1) The filters work in Adobe PhotoDeluxe but you have to select
   File>Preferences>Long Menus, then work with files using the "On
   Your Own" button. Plug-in filters are available, not on the easy-
   to-reach PhotoDeluxe Modify > Effects tab, but on the harder-to-
   select Effects menu along the very top.

ULead PhotoImpact
1) The filters all work provided the MSVCRT10.DLL file is present. 

Animator Studio
1) Will accept Filter Factory plugins. 

Photo Paint 7.0
1) Most plugins will work, although it does seem that versions before
   7.0 no plugins will work. For version 7, it has been said you need
   both MSVCRT10.DLL and MSVCRT.DLL loaded in both the Windows and
   Windows/System directories.

Freehand 7
1) Will accept filter factory plugins but in the Xtras menu. Freehand
   comes with 30 or so Xtras plus with a stack of additional Xtras and
   Options plus it accepts all Adobe plugins. 

Macromedia xRes 2.0
1) The plugins will work. 

Macromedia Director 5.0
1) All you have to do is copy the .8bf file to the Xtras directory.
   Then choose a cast member and go to the Xtras menu and hit Filter
   Bitmap. A list of all the installed PS plugins will show up. 

Painter 4.0
1) Since there is a large number of Plug-Ins available here, Painter
   4.0 seems to load as many as it can depending on the amount of RAM
   available.
