  

     These are selected works from the "Sealace" series; studies in experimental
computer graphic structure. They should be used with a minimum monitor color setting
of 16 bit HighColor, and preferably 24 or 32 bit TrueColor. The graphics are in 640x480 
screen format, and are intended for standard 15" monitors, but can, of course, be used 
on larger monitors. However, I recommend, if they are so used, that the graphic's original 
format be retained, rather than expanded for the larger screen, as the graphics lose some
crispness and clarity in that action. They can, I think, be quite effective on larger monitors 
in their original size if the desktop color is set to black, and the graphic is centered on 
the desktop, but, of course the users will suit their own preferences.
     These graphics are designed to be used with the Windows taskbar set to "autohide":
their "punctiliated" corners appear to hover in parallel above its retracted line. They 
also, I think, work effectively with the Windows98 "Science" screensaver, which is included 
with the OS. I recommend either the "glass sphere" or the "dent" setting, but they can be
effective with the other settings as well.
      To use these graphics, simply unzip the Sealace3.zip package into the Windows
directory, or a user created Windows subdirectory. They can then be accessed for
desktop selection by rightclicking an empty desktop area, then leftclicking the 
"properties" label on the consequent menu. The Display Properties control panel will
then appear, and the graphics will be listed in the "wallpaper" window of the Background
tab for preferential selection. If they are not in the primary wallpaper listing, leftclick 
the "browse" button to locate the directory that contains them. Leftclick the Display
arrow in the Background panel to set the preference for "stretch", "center", or "tile".

*If any recipient of these graphics, however, were to be shaken with spontaneous and
ineluctable urgencies for fiscal contribution to the extension of these studies, I and
my four cats-("Buster"; "Angie"; "Zorra"; and "Bster***")- would be humbly grateful for the 
increased ability to purchase vital body heat-(this is January in Indianapolis!)-, and general  
lifesupplies.
