Purpose of the program
----------------------
Advanced Imagemap Designer is a tool that helps web designers to include dynamic imagemaps into their web pages. In contrast to traditional imagemaps (client-side or server-side), the imagemaps produced by this tool can play sounds or display pop-up images when the user moves the mouse over a specific hotspot.


How it works
------------
Advanced Imagemap Designer consists of a Java applet and an application. The applet, which implements the imagemap, must be embeded in your webpages. To do so you have to include in your webpage some HTML text that embeds the applet and most important, defines its parameters. To create this HTML text you can use the application which helps you visually create an imagemap.


How to Install
--------------
In order to install the program just execute the setup.exe file, which can be found in the distribution, and follow the instructions on the screen.


Licence
-------
This program is a shareware program. You can use it and distribute it freely. There is a charge of $25 to obtain the registered applet that allows the use of the created imagemaps over the Internet.
