    What's In That Box? - III was created
entirely with Computer Magic, the $99.95
multipurpose creation package.  Would you
like to know more about Computer Magic?

    You can use Computer Magic to create your
own super-professional teaching tutorials,
catalogs, technical presentations, electronic
books, graphical user interfaces (GUI),
retail software, shareware, BBS greeting
cards, disk-based shows, computer-based
training (CBT) and freeform databases, which
will run on any standard IBM-compatible
computer. Create your own images or use
scanned pictures or clip art from a variety
of sources. You can also create your own
sounds or use "clip sounds."

    Built-in features include: complete
drawing program, simple word processor to
create text in any font and any color, sound
effects library, melody composition and
digitized speech through the ordinary PC
speaker, Sound Blaster and other sound card
support, resolutions from 2-Color CGA through
256-color VGA, .GIF and .PCX file display and
creation, ASCII-Vector-Graphics (store up to
100 pictures on a single 360k floppy),
special effects such as fades and "lava
flow," grid and coordinate display for
precise drawing creation, super-imposing,
layering, combining files, hook executable
programs and batch files into multimedia
presentations, display scrollable text files
of unlimited size within any picture in any
font and color, and much more! Even create
full multimedia multiple-choice tests and
on-screen picture puzzles.

    Computer Magic comes with a royalty-free,
multi-faceted run-time program called
CMSHOW.EXE, with which end users can view
your presentation screen by screen, forward,
backward or randomly, and even search for any
word or phrase within your presentation, or
via hyperlinks, in which users can point to
anything on screen with mouse-driven or
arrow-key driven pointer and be taken to any
location within your presentation.

    How can we do it all for $99.95?  Here
are the answers: You are not paying for TV or
magazine advertisements. Computer Magic is an
efficient, fully self-contained package, with
a complete disk-based owner's manual.
Eliminating the paper-based manual keeps the
cost low. And, we ship everything immediately
via first class mail, so no cost is wasted
in excess warehousing/order procesing.
You're paying for pure state-of-the-art
programming, not advertising and packaging.

    Computer Magic is a complete integrated
creation environment using the latest WYSIWYG
(What You See Is What You Get) technology. It
is so easy-to-use that you can start making
your own great products the first day you
own it. To get your copy, send $99.95 in US
