A Review of

Starry Night Deluxe TM

I'm still evaluating this package, I add new information about every week.

PLATFORMS: Windows & Macintosh

VERSIONS: Windows95/NT & System 7.0 or later (68040/PowerPC or better)

THE PACKAGE: Purchased: (Monday) 1998 June 01. Arrived:via AirExpress 1998 June 03 -- Excellent on the delivery service. Packaging: Outer package was sufficient to prevent the package from being destroyed in transit. Package Look & Feel: Outter packaging is quite artful. Front is clearly marked with versions, product name and use. Back is mostly advertisement intended to be seen in mass marketing, but does indicate useful features. Contact information: Are clearly marked either on the back of the package or on the bottom flap of the package. System Requirements: The package clearly indicates that for the Intel package this is a WIN32 package and will NOT work with Windows 3.1.

WHAT WAS TESTED: Starry Night Deluxe (TM) -- version 2.1 for Windows95/NT

TEST EQUIPMENT: The program was tested on two Pentium machines. Machine A) Dual-Pentium Pro 200MHz; Windows NT & Win95; 128MB RAM; 2XCD-ROM; Machine B) 300MHz Pentium MMX, 128MB RAM; 24XCD-ROM Machine A & B) Soundblaster 16; Diamond Multi-media Video cards & Ethernet cards installed.

THE INSTALLATION: The installation is done with InstallShield and is very painless. However you will need more than 30MB to expand the installation files. One does not need to reboot to launch Starry Night.

Trademarks: Pentium Pro and Pentium MMX are trademarks of Intel Corporation. Windows95 and Windows NT WIN32 and Windows 3.1 are trademarks of Microsoft Corporation. InstallShield is a tradmark of InstallShield Software Corporation. Macintosh is a trademark of Apple Corporation. MC68040 is a trademark of Motorolla Corporation.
