- You may notice that this documentation file is fairly short. The reason is
- that the program really doesn't very much documentation. The hardest part is
- getting the program to load. Most people can just type PAINT and press Enter.
- The program defaults to not using a printer. The program is set this way
- because most users don't print Coloring Book pictures, and small children can
- accidentally order the program to print and cause problems. If you want the
- program to print pictures, use the following command-line options: /EPSON
- (Print to an EPSON or compatible printer), /HP (Print to an HP or compatible
- laser printer), /P1 (Print to LPT1:, not really necessary since this is the
- default), /P2 (Print to LPT2:), and /NOPRINT (Do not print, also not necessary
- because this is the default).
-
- For example: To use the program with an HP LaserJet compatible connected to
- LPT2:, type PAINT /HP /P2. To use the program with an EPSON compatible
- connected to LPT1:, type PAINT /EPSON. To keep the program from printing, type
- PAINT or PAINT /NOPRINT. Remember, this shareware version has limited printer
- support. Images are printed at very low density, and the colors do not
- contrast very well. The registered version supports much better printer
- resolution, and will print in color if you have an HP PaintJet or compatible.
-
- When you get past the registration screen, you are given a picture to play
- with. You can change the colors in this picture, go to the next or previous
- picture, erase the colors in the current picture, restore the original colors
- of the picture, print the picture, or exit the program.
-
- To change the colors in the current picture, put the mouse pointer on the color
- of your choice in the color grid at the bottom left of the screen. Then press
- the left mouse button. The current painting color will appear in the box at
- the bottom left corner of the screen. You can then paint any area of the
- picture you want. The only exception is that you cannot paint areas of the
- screen that are black.
-
- If you want to start over and erase all the colors in the current picture,
- click on the box that looks like an eraser with the left mouse button and the
- picture will lose all of its color.
-
- You can restore the colors that were last saved by clicking on the Undo box
- with the left mouse button.
-
- When you are finished with the current picture, you can select another picture
- or exit the program. To select the next picture, click on the box with the
- arrow that points to the right. To select the last or previous picture, click
- on the box with the arrow that points to the left.
-
- If you would like to print your picture, just click on the picture of the
- printer (make sure the printer is ready first). The program will ask you if
- you're sure you want to print. Click on the smiley face to print and the
- frowny face to abort printing (remember, I had to write this so that even
- little kids could understand it). If you click on the smiley face by accident,
- you can abort printing by pressing the Escape key before the program finishes
- preparing the image. If you have trouble printing, make sure that you have
- selected the proper printer and the proper printer connection. Refer to the
- second paragraph at the top of this document to see how to do this.
-
- This version of the program comes with 10 pictures that I have taken the
- liberty of pre-coloring (the registered version comes with 35 pictures). Do
- not let my lack of taste discourage you, these pictures can have any colors you
- want. Remember, to instantly clear away all of the colors, just click on the
- box that looks like an eraser with the left mouse button.
-
- It is important to remember that the program saves the current colors whenever
- you select another picture or exit the program.
-
- To exit the program, click on the box with the exit sign in it. You will then
- be taken back to DOS if you have registered the program. If you have not
- registered the program, you will be given a registration form that you can
- print out.
-
- If you choose to register the program, you will receive a disk with 25 new
- pictures to paint. In addition, pictures will print properly, and if you have
- an HP-Paintjet, pictures will print in color. Also, the registered version
- does not have any registration form at the end.
-
- I hope you have fun with this. The program has no real tangible use, but kids
- like it, and it gives you something interesting to do.
-

- is to phone in your order. We have a toll-free telephone ordering line. You
