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.
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.
You can restore the colors that were last saved by clicking on the box that has
a picture of a doubled-back arrow.
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. 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 open door 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 and print.
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.
