Short: Cloanto Personal Paint 7.1 Demo Software 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 7.1. The software has no functional limitations, except for a pattern of "DEMO" symbols which appears over the image when saving and printing. For space reasons and for licensing restrictions, this version does not include all of the input/output modules, artwork, tutorials and documentation which are part of the commercial package. The following file formats are supported by the commercial version, but not by this demonstration version: - GIF - BMP (Windows and OS/2) - PCX - PBM, PGM and PPM - Raw Binary Data - TIM - C Source Code (Save Only) - ASCII (Save Only) - JPEG (Load Only) - Photo CD (Load Only) - Amiga DataTypes (Load Only) - Plasma (Load Only) The lack of the GIF I/O module, in particular, implies that the scripts which load and save "GIF animations" do not work. In general, the GIF module is only included (under license of Unisys Corporation) in the commercial Personal Paint packages published by Cloanto, and not in demonstration versions, cover disk versions, and in software bundled with the Amiga computers. The commercial package also includes full documentation in English, German and Italian (on CD-ROM), special libraries compiled for different "Classic Amiga" CPUs, additional user interface languages, tutorial animations, a collection of artwork and some "bonus" software. ADDITIONAL USER INTERFACE LANGUAGES By default, Personal Paint 7.1 tries to run in the system default language. This demonstration archive contains 17 user interface files, all using the default (Latin) Personal 8 font. Additional user interface languages and fonts are stored in separate "PPUIText_...88" archives, also in the "biz/cloan" directory on Aminet (please note the version number: Personal Paint 7.1 requires version 88 of the user interface files). To install a new program language, just follow the instructions contained in the respective archive. INSTALLATION To install Personal Paint 7.1 to the hard disk, simply copy the "PPaint" drawer 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. If there are different versions of Personal Paint installed, "PPAINT:" should either not be assigned, or it should be assigned to the directory containing the software which is used. Trying to run Personal Paint 6.4, for example, when "PPAINT:" is assigned to the directory containing the Personal Paint 7.1 demonstration software, may cause the older software not to load properly (as it would look for some items in the directory containing the demonstration version). OVERVIEW OF NEW FEATURES The new features of the Personal Paint 7.1 CD-ROM (compared to version 7.0) include: - New and improved file formats, including GIF (licensed by Unisys), 24-bit DataTypes, PBM and TIM (loads TIM graphics files directly from Sony PlayStation CDs, with extended TIM saving options features for developers) - Professional Internet features like GIF animations, a map editor, and everything needed to achieve maximum image quality in a compact size - 182 ARexx commands, with dozens of scripts directly accessible from the toolbar - New Rexx scripts, including animation paths - Improved support for environments like Siamese RTG and UAE - Improved and extended manuals (in English, German and Italian) - Special versions of Personal Paint compiled for different CPUs - Cloanto Internet graphics DataTypes - GIF utilities by third parties - Cloanto ColorType 3.1 software - New in the CD-ROM edition: developer documentation, reorganized manuals (no addenda - all in the right place), tutorial animations, extended artwork Personal Paint 7.1 is available as a stand-alone product, and is also included on the Amiga Forever CD-ROM (containing the entire Personal Paint package and bonus software, except for the GIF utilities by third parties).
