Cloanto Personal Paint 6.4
This directory contains a complimentary edition of Personal Paint version
6.4, for exclusive distribution through the Aminet and Meeting Pearls
internet and CD-ROM collections. This is the full commercial version (not
a demonstration version), with a few limitations due to space and
licensing reasons (support for some file formats, such as GIF, is
missing, and the artwork and documentation files are also not included).
A description of new features of Personal Paint 7.1 and a special
upgrade offer to the full version 7.1 CD-ROM follow in this text.
Tutorial and FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) sections are included in
separate files in this directory.

interface fonts, NewIcons thumbnails, etc.)
- New "plug-in" library system makes it possible to add input/output
formats (for files, scanners, screens, etc.) and to replace critical

the toolbar
- New Rexx scripts, including animation paths

Brand New from Cloanto: Amiga Forever!
1998 is the year in which Amiga emulation is becoming practical (as
emulated Amiga systems are becoming less expensive and more powerful than
silicon-based ones) and official (with the Amiga companies endorsing
emulation both for Amiga Forever, and as the future solution to run
"Classic Amiga" software).
Amiga Forever is a cross-platform Amiga integration solution, providing
tools ranging from Amiga Explorer, to connect an Amiga to the PC and
access all Amiga drives from the Windows desktop, to an official and easy
to use Amiga emulation environment with original Amiga ROM and OS files.
For more information, please refer to the Amiga Forever home page:
http://www.cloanto.com/amiga/forever/
Presenting The Kara Collection CD-ROM
It took 10 years of hard work to create the superb art which is contained
on this CD-ROM. The Kara Collection includes all packages previously
published by Kara Computer Graphics for the Amiga, plus many more, in an
exclusive and professional edition reorganized and enhanced by Cloanto.
This CD-ROM contains 80 ColorFonts (including effects like brick, glass,
chrome, chisel, etc.), 5 AnimFonts (handwriting, rotating characters,
static wipes, sparkles, etc.), hundreds of alternate colour palettes,
Starfields (moving stars seen from different perspectives), Plaquegrounds
(backgrounds such as granite, marble, sand-stone, wood, etc.), and
software for special effects in pictures, animations, titling and
presentations. All items for solo or combined use.
The Kara Collection also includes two software packages developed by
Cloanto to manage bitmapped fonts: ColorType for colour fonts and the
Personal Fonts Maker for black and white fonts. Both have been acclaimed
as the best in their respective fields.
To make AnimFonts really easy and enjoyable to use, we created an ARexx
program for Personal Paint, which renders any string of characters into
animated text. As Kara says, "So long to the laborious task of placing
individual letters... This is the way AnimFonts were meant to be!!!"
