- Uploader: info@cloanto.com (Cloanto)
- Author: info@cloanto.com (Cloanto)
- Type: biz/cloan
- Distribution: Only Cloanto, Aminet and Aminet CD-ROM

-
- INTRODUCTION
-
- This archive contains a demonstration version of Personal Paint 7. The
- software has no functional limitations, except for a pattern of "DEMO"
- symbols which appears over the image when saving and printing. For obvious
- space reasons, this version is not representative of the I/O modules (most
- formats are missing here, in part due to licensing restrictions), Rexx
- scripts, artwork and documentation included with the commercial package.
-
-
- USER INTERFACE LANGUAGES OTHER THAN ENGLISH
-
- By default, Personal Paint 7 tries to run in the system default language.
- This demonstration archive contains only the English user interface file
- ("PPaint_Prefs/UIText.eng"). Additional languages are stored in separate
- "PPUIText_...88" archives, also in the "biz/cloan" directory on Aminet
- (please note the version number: Personal Paint 7.0 requires version 88 of
- the user interface files). To install a new program language, just drop
- its file in the "PPaint_Prefs" directory.
-
-
- HARD DISK INSTALLATION
-
- To install Personal Paint 7 to hard disk, simply move the entire drawer
- contained in the archive to the desired location. Assigning "PPAINT:" to
- the installation drawer is useful for the system to find the Default
- Tools, if used by artwork files, but is not strictly required by Personal
- Paint. To fit on a single floppy disk, the software was compressed with
- Imploder. After hard disk installation, it is possible to decompress the
- software so that it loads faster (and using less memory). If, for example,
- the software is installed in "Work:PPaint", decompression can be performed
- from the Shell as follows:
-
- CD Work:PPaint
- Deplode PPaint
-
-
- FLOPPY DISK INSTALLATION
-
- To install Personal Paint 7 to an Amiga floppy disk, format a disk
- (without creating a "Trashcan" in it), name it "PPaint", and copy the
- contents of the drawer (not the drawer itself) contained in this archive
- to the disk. For example, to install Personal Paint from "RAM:PPaint" to
- drive 0 ("DF0:"), type the following from the Shell:
-
- Delete DF0:#? ALL
- Copy RAM:PPaint/#? DF0: ALL CLONE
-
-
- OVERVIEW OF NEW FEATURES
-
- Personal Paint 7 has more than 100 new features, including:

-
- - New "plug-in" library system makes it possible to add input/output
- formats (for files, scanners, screens, etc.) and to replace critical
- Amiga blitter and CPU code with a combination of "virtual blitter" and
- other logic fully exploiting the different configurations (68040,
- Phase 5 PowerPC, etc.)
-
- - Automatically create directory thumbnails for entire directories
-
- - Advanced vector text functions (rotate, antialias, paths, animate,
- etc.)
-
- - CD-ROM edition includes: developer documentation, reorganized manuals
