To all interested parties:
 
"The HoneyBee" Version 2.0, New For 1997-is a freeware software program,
Ver: 1.0 released about six months ago.
 
The program is a bit large (about 2mb) and requires Win 3.xx/Win 95 and
SVGA.
 
It is a joint effort by myself and P-O Gustafsson (fellow BEE-Ler). It
is an "Educational Program About Honey Bees, Their Role In Nature, And
Their Value To All Of Us" It features some nice close-up photography by
P-O.
 
The object of the program is to get some good PR (Public Relations) out
there to the general public on behalf of our Bees & secondarily to
encourage a growth in the ranks of folks like us - Hobbyists &
Commercial Beekeepers.
 
The new Version 2.0 is a complete re-work of the original-"tain't much"
left of the version 1.0. It is much less "wordier"! Fewer long text
files!
 
It also features a "Slide Show" that operates manually (press a key or
right mouse button to move to the next slide) within the program itself.
 
A little "secret feature" is available if you look inside the program
files - "An Automatic Slide Show" that is timed to ten seconds between
slides-with additional info on how to change this timing to suit your
purpose. I put this feature in there for the use of those Beekeeprs
amongst you who put the effort into getting out to schools, etc. It
could also come in handy if you have a Honey selling booth at a fair.
You could bring a computer along and use this Automated feature to
attract folks to your booth. I am sure that some of you will find novel
uses for it.
 
I might note that you are free to just separate this Automated features
files from the program for the above purposes. However, you are not
legally free to distribute/upload/sell, etc. these Automated files apart
from the whole program. Text inside the program covers this aspect.
 
For those of you who do not have the capability to download from the
Web, or do not have a friend/inlaw/outlaw who has that capability, you
can obtain a "Two Disk Set" from either myself ($8.95 US Funds) or P-O(
60SKR Swedish Krona) total cost-Postage Free to naywhere on this planet.
 
The Disk Set will automatically create its own Program Group and Icon
and will wutomatically run itself upon completion of its installation.
No need to make a Directory,etc.
 
Once you unzip HoneyBee.zip into a directory, run Setup and it will do
the same as above.
 
Once you have the "Two Disk Set", you are most certainly free to, and
encouraged to, diskcopy and pass around as many copies as you please
with no additional charge! This is not intended to be a "money making
deal". Anyone caught trying to make money off this program, aside from
charging normal shareware distribution charges, is doing so at their own
legal risk!
 
You may, of course upload HoneyBee.zip to anywhere you please within our
common solar system. Inside the "zip" are the description files to be
examined by a BBS Sysop.
 
Should any of you have your own Web Site, P-O and I, will be pleased if
you care to have it available as a Download from your pages.
 
Incidentally - Have any of you out there found BEE-L via the info in
the original HoneyBee?
 
Sorry Allen, but your name and info on your "cool" Listserv Subscription
site is in the new Version 2.0 - properly credited, I might add! :) All
you pros are credited in general for being so helpful (and mighty
patient at times) to all of us small hobbyists and newbies!! You folks
do deserve the credit!!
 
That's it -
 
Al
