GETART
Ver: 3.0 07-12-88
Copyright 1988 by Valerie Jean Kramer
Display printmaster graphics files on your screen with GETART!
GETART will read a printmaster or printmaster+ art folder and display the
graphic images on the screen. 15 images can be seen on the screen at once.
To start the program, just type the program name at the DOS prompt:
C: >getart
You will be prompted for the name of the file you want to examine.
You may give a complete DOS path name including drive letter and path.
The file's extension should NOT be typed. For example, you could respond
D:\PM\GALLERY1
rather than D:\PM\GALLERY1.SHP
The program pauses after filling a screen and waits for a key to be hit
before clearing the screen and displaying the next page. You can use the
DOS Shift-PrtSc feature to print the screen at this time. Be sure that
you have loaded GRAPHICS.COM or whatever program your printer needs
before starting GETART. If you don't know how to print graphics images
on your printer, include your printer's make and model and a request for
help when you register the program. I will try to get you going but I
do NOT guarantee success as there are too many types of printers and too
many other strange things that can go wrong!
If there are changes or features you would like to see,
please drop me a note!
You are encouraged to share this program with your friends, your club,
your BBS, etc. If you like the program, find it useful, and would like
to register for updates, send $15 to:

Thank you.
GETART REVISION HISTORY
02-08-88 Release 1.0 first released to public.
02-14-88 Release 2.0 completely re-written in "C". MUCH faster!
Release 1 allowed an "x" at the end-of-page pause to cancel the
program. This has been removed in release 2 because the improved
speed makes this unnecessary.
Release 2.0 is designed to be compatible with Hercules Graphics
and CGA equipped systems or any that can emulate a CGA. If you
are interested in support for other graphics devices, let me know.
I could get twice as many images on an EGA screen but the aspect
ratio looks funny. Any preferences?
07-12-88 Release 3.0 bug fixes and updates
Fixed a bug in handling long picture names causing garbled display.
Fixed the program so that when you give the printmaster graphics
library name on the command line, you don't see the copyright/
instructions screen -- you go direct to the first picture screen.
Added a screen number to the file name at the bottom of each screen.
Added the ability to hit a "q" to exit the program from any
picture screen. Added the (Q to Quit) message at the bottom
of the screen.
