PICTATTRIBUTE & INSERTCHAR
PictAttribute (PC) "remembers" the attributes of a picture box when you perform a Get Picture and restores the picture's scale, offset, rotation, skew, runaround and flip. For bitmap TIFF, JPEG and GIF images, the colour, shade and negative are also retained. One use for PictAttributes XT is to substitute hi-res images for lo-res without losing the vital parameters.
InsertChar XT (Macintosh) allows you to insert any character into your text.
NOTE: the files can be found in the folder \software\essentials\markzware... the Mac version is supplied as a Stuffit SEA file. Read the text files supplied for info on installation and use.
