WORDPERFECT CLIP ART PACK


The WPG graphic files in this package are designed for WordPerfect
6.0 and WP Presentations 2.0.  If you are using WordPerfect for
Windows 5.2, the CGM images will provide the best results in your
documents.

For better printed output, WordPerfect 5.1 users should use the
Graphics Conversion Program (included with your WordPerfect
software) to convert the .CGM graphic format files to a .WPG
graphic format.

When converting .CGM graphics files to a .WPG graphic format, use
one of the following startup options explained below:

/c=2
Converts color values in the input file to monochrome (black and
white) values.

/c=16
Converts color values in the input file to the WordPerfect standard
16-color palette.

/c=256
Converts color values in the input file to the WordPerfect standard
256-color palette.  (Use this option when you have a graphics
adapter capable of displaying 256 simultaneous colors.)


In addition, the Graphics Conversion Program will convert other
files than those located on the CD-ROM.  You may want to use the
Graphics Conversion Program when the following conditions apply:

  -  The file is in .DXF format.  (All .DXF files must be converted
     through the Conversion Program before you can retrieve them
     into WordPerfect.)

  -  You want to use some of the startup options available with the
     Conversion Program to affect the way the file is converted
     (see Startup Options below.)

  -  You want to convert multiple files (see Multiple Files below).

  -  You are using the Graphic on Disk feature in WordPerfect and
     want to save time in printing, viewing, and editing the
     display parameters of the graphic (see Graphic on Disk below.)


To run the program,

1    Go to DOS.

2    Change to the directory where you installed the clip art
     images. GRAPHCNV.EXE is located in this directory.

3    Enter GRAPHCNV to start the program.

4    Enter the full pathname of the file to be converted (input
     file).

5    Enter the full pathname of the converted file (output file).

     When you see the "->ok" message, the conversion is complete.

6    Press any key to exit the program.


MULTIPLE FILES
You can use wildcard characters when specifying the input filename
to convert multiple files.  Use "?" to represent a single
character, and "*" to represent zero or more characters in
succession.  The output filenames will match the input filenames
except that they will have a .WPG extension.

For example, if you have a series of graphics named GRAPHIC1.CGM,
GRAPHIC2.CGM, GRAPHIC3.CGM, etc., you could convert them all at
once to WordPerfect format by entering GRAPHIC?.CGM as the input
filename. The output files would be named GRAPHIC1.WPG,
GRAPHIC2.WPG, GRAPHIC3.WPG, etc. 

To convert any file with a .CGM extension to WordPerfect format you
would enter *.CGM as the input filename.


STARTUP OPTIONS
The following startup options can be used with the Graphics
Conversion Program:

     inputfilename outputfilename

You can designate both the input filename and output filename when
you start the Graphics Conversion Program by entering "graphcnv
inputfilename outputfilename", where inputfilename is the name of
the file to be converted, and outputfilename is the name of the
output file.

You can also use wildcard characters in the input filename without
using an output filename to convert multiple files.  See Multiple
Files above for more information.

/b=#
Sets the background color for the .WPG output file, where #
represents one of the following colors:

1=Black,  2=Blue,  3=Green,  4=Cyan,  5=Red,  6=Magenta,  7=Brown, 
8=White

If no number is specified, the background color defaults to intense
white.

/c=2
Converts color values in the input file to monochrome (black and
white) values.

/c=16
Converts color values in the input file to the WordPerfect standard
16-color palette.

/c=256
Converts color values in the input file to the WordPerfect standard
256-color palette.  (Use this option when you have a graphics
adapter capable of displaying 256 simultaneous colors.)

/c=b
Converts all color values in the input file to black.

/c=w
Converts all color values in the input file to white.

/f=#
After a color or gray scale conversion (with /c or /g), you can use
this option to change the fill color.  # represents the following
colors:

1=Black,  2=Blue,  3=Green,  4=Cyan,  5=Red,  6=Magenta,  7=Brown, 
8=Gray,  9=Dark Gray

/g=16
Converts color values in the input file to the WordPerfect standard
16 shades of gray palette.

/g=256
Converts color values in the input file to the 16 shades of gray
present in the WordPerfect standard 256-color palette.  (Use this
option when you have a graphics adapter capable of displaying 256
simultaneous colors.)

/h
Displays helpful information about the Graphics Conversion Program.

/l
Lets you send conversion status messages for each converted file to
the standard printer device.  See also /l=filename below.

/l=filename
Lets you send conversion status messages for each converted file to
the specified file.  See also /l above.

/m
Inverts monochrome bitmapped images.

/n=#
After a color or gray scale conversion (with /c or /g), you can use
this option to change the line color.  See /f=# above for a list of
colors.

/o
Lets you override the "Replace files?" user prompts.  This is known
as unattended mode.  When the Graphics Conversion Program writes an
output file with a filename that already exists, it will replace
the existing file without issuing a prompt.


GRAPHIC ON DISK
When WordPerfect needs to use an image located in a graphic file on
disk, it must find the file and convert it.  The converted file is
placed in a temporary file which is then deleted when WordPerfect
no longer needs it.  This conversion takes time, and occurs every
time you print or view a document using a graphic on disk, or when
you edit the display parameters of a graphic on disk.

If you pre-convert the file by using the Graphics Conversion
Program, you will reduce the time required for these tasks.  Note,
however, that if you convert the graphic on disk, the graphics
program you used to create the file may not be able to edit the
converted file.


ERROR MESSAGES
As the Graphics Conversion Program tries to convert your files, the
following error messages may appear.

Bad Format
The input file is in a format not converted by the Graphics
Conversion Program.  Try exporting the file to another supported
format (use your graphics program).

Bad Input File
The input file cannot be accessed.  This error occurs when the
specified path to the input file cannot be found or does not exist.
or when the graphics file you want to convert is marked "Read
Only."  This message may also indicate that an error occurred while
converting a file.  For example, the input file may be corrupt, or
it may contain information not expected given the type of the input
file.

First check whether you entered the path correctly.  If not, run
the Graphics Conversion Program again and enter the correct path. 
If the original path was correct, try re-exporting the file with
your graphics program, then run the Graphics Conversion Program
again.

Disk Full
This error occurs when there is not enough room on disk to convert
the file. If you can, make room by deleting files, then try again.

End of File
An unexpected end of file was encountered while trying to convert
the file.  Try exporting the file in another supported format (use
your graphics
program).

File Not Found
The specified file could not be found.  Check to be sure you
entered the correct path and name of the file.
