HELP
In this Cdrom, nearly 1,800 photos are available.
Nevertheless, handling Cdrom is very simple : insert, it runs immediately (no install necessary).
However, if you prefer to run it manually, open your cd driver : COME IN.htm Then, select BY-DEFAULT FONTS in your browser ( to select it in Explorer : click View, Text Size, Medium ) and FULL SCREEN ( F11 on your keyboard - F11 to go back ) At last, click the photo.
When beginning
MAIN PAGE (in a yellow colour) enables you to go elsewhere in the Cdrom. There you can :
- choose a COLLECTION OF PHOTOS, either in colour or in black & white : Bretagne, Normandie, Ile de France, Ségala...
These names represent a country, or a matter, such as Factories...
- choose a BACKGROUND for the photos. There are three available backgrounds : black, grey and white, located in the bottom of the page; click the black, grey or white cell, and the desired background colour will appear on the right rectangle. Then you only have to determine the collection of photos you wish. Grey remains the default background colour
- choose a MAP
- choose a COMMENT
- read the text ABOUT COUNTRYSIDE
- get some HELP
- CLOSE Cdrom
When moving inside the Cdrom, you can
CLICK PHOTO

Quick description of the Cdrom
The Cdrom contains nearly 1,800 photos, in colour and in black & white; they were taken, mostly from 1980 and 1995, in the country of France (Europe). A caption accompanies each thumbnail photo and appears in a bubble insert when you keep the mouse for a while on a photo; this caption is also written down by the enlarged photo
COMMENTS give you further information : a short HISTORY OF MY PHOTOGRAPHS, a glance on my OTHER CDROMS, then on my WRITINGS, the OPINION of Monsieur Jean-Claude Dupuis on my work, and finally how to CONTACT me and how to receive a PHOTOGRAPH PRINT
MAPS
This folder contains the AUTHOR'S MAPS and a CATALOGUE OF THE PHOTOS LOCATION
Displeased with administrative difficulties, I came to realise myself the necessary maps. They are supposed to permit an easier location of the photos, for the maps display the key places, regions and rivers mentioned in the Cdrom, yet the main towns and rivers, also a scale in kilometres (1 Mile = 1.6 Km)
A general map of France points to some reference big cities and rivers, and to the ten different countries mentioned in MAIN PAGE. Eight maps figure the following countries : BRETAGNE, NORMANDIE, AQUITAINE, ILE DE FRANCE, ALPES, GASCOGNE, AUVERGNE, SEGALA. As for VERSAILLES and the FACTORIES, they do not correspond to a particular map : VERSAILLES has been indicated onto the map of ILE DE FRANCE, and the FACTORIES, onto the general map of FRANCE
The CATALOGUE OF THE PHOTOS LOCATION contains all the names of the places, regions and rivers mentioned in the Cdrom. This photos location is listed within each country. When the symbol " > " appears, it means "near to", so that only the spot following this symbol will appear on the map as being best known
You can go to the map by simply clicking one of the countries specified below AUTHOR'S MAPS. You can also go to the map by clicking one of the countries specified below the CATALOGUE OF THE PHOTOS LOCATION, and then any name listed within each country

Advice
At last, I should say that this Cdrom has been conceived to work with a SCREEN RESOLUTION OF 800 x 600 PIXELS. I find that this resolution is really the best for the photos. (You can adjust it by clicking right on the screen, left on properties, then parameters, and selecting your resolution; finally : OK - You can change it later as many times as you wish)
The other point I'd like to underline concerns the size of the fonts to be used in the Cdrom. Much better is to select BY-DEFAULT FONTS in your browser (to select it, open Explorer, click View, then Text Size, then Medium). You can change it later as many times as you wish
Now, enjoy your trip across countryside!
