Thumbs+CD Product Information The Thumbs+CD Developer’s Kit includes both the 16-bit and 32-bit versions of ThumbsPlus versions for building a browsing database of images, clip-art, video or TrueType fonts on CD. Either or both databases (16 and 32-bit) may be placed on the CD-ROM along with a royalty-free viewer for the user, called Thumbs+CD. There is Thumbs+CD/16, for use with Windows version 3.1, and Thumbs+CD/32, for use with Windows 95, Windows 98 or NT. Either version or both may be included on your CD publication, and a Wizard is included to simplify the process of including the programs, databases and run-time components. The functionality of the two versions differs, with the 16-bit based on ThumbsPlus version 2.1b, and the 32-bit being based on ThumbsPlus version 3.30. The viewers are very similar to ThumbsPlus. The main differences are: All menu options for making/updating thumbnails are removed. Menu options for opening or creating databases are removed. The "Automatic Clipboard Saving" option is removed. All TWAIN functions are removed. The HELP…ABOUT box references your company and product name. All functions relating to keyword assignments and, annotation assignments have been removed. (However, you can define keywords which the users can use to search.) Contact Sheets, Directory creation/deletion and Thumbnail export functions are removed. You can customize Thumbs+CD/32 in several ways, including: Play a startup sound (WAV file) Replace the splash screen background graphic (or bypass the splash screen) Change the Thumbs+CD title bar Specify the directory on the CD to start browsing Turn off menus You can customize Thumbs+CD/16 in some ways as well; this requires a 16-bit resource editor (such as Microsoft's AppStudio). At your discretion, you may also include the ThumbsPlus evaluation product for your customers to install and use. The 16-bit version 2.0e or the 32-bit version 3.30-S may be included. In such case, it is the end user’s responsibility to register ThumbsPlus. These evaluation versions are included on the CDK distribution IMPORTANT: If you wish to use Thumbs+CD to view files that use Unisys’ patented LZW compression (all GIF files and some TIFF files) it is the your responsibility to obtain an agreement with the Unisys Welch Licensing department. Cerious Software cannot provide the LZW capability in Thumbs+CD unless you provide a copy of your agreement with Unisys.
