Introducing DemoSHIELD
----------------------
Use DemoSHIELD to create fully interactive, live, high impact demos and
tutorials for any Windows application. Create computer-based training, cue
cards and other interactive help systems for your Windows applications.

DemoSHIELD is the only demo toolkit that can actually control an application
LIVE! That's right, imagine your audience actually interacting with your demo
or tutorial, live. This is not a simulation or a slide show, this is real,
live application control. Of course, DemoSHIELD allows you to show simulations
with screen shots, AVI files, or with Lotus ScreenCam 2, integrated within
DemoSHIELD. Create a software demo now, create a tutorial or a cue card system
tomorrow. DemoSHIELD is the complete package for all the demos and tutorials
you want to create now and in the future.

Fully Interactive
-----------------
What if your audience wants to interact with the demo to see the information
they want without waiting for a lengthy slide show? No problem. DemoSHIELD
lets you design interactive demos that allow you to drill down to the
information you want... the information that closes the sale, or gets your
point across!  You can drill down into your demos, because DemoSHIELD allows
you to create hierarchical scenes and sub-scenes which are linked by buttons
and hyper links. DemoSHIELD has built in navigational controls such as a
SmartVCR and menus that you can instantly use in your demos.

Customizable and Flexible
-------------------------
DemoSHIELD is fully customizable and flexible. Do you want full screen demos?
Do you want demos which automatically fit to various Windows resolutions?
Then DemoSHIELD is your only choice. No other tool can match the flexibility
of DemoSHIELD. Add sound, text, graphics and interactive objects with buttons,
hot spots and graphical shapes. Make your message hit the target. Choose from
DemoSHIELD's many special effects and apply any special effect to any text or
graphical object to deliver your message with impact.

Complete Solution
-----------------
Distribute your demo on floppy, BBS or electronically. Only DemoSHIELD comes
with a 7 Step Setup Wizard based on the world-standard InstallShield. Of
course, DemoSHIELD includes an integrated uninstaller to cleanly remove the
demo from the hard disk, so your customers don't hesitate installing your demo
right away. You can distribute all your demos royalty free without any
additional runtimes or fees.
