OVERVIEW
Paint Shop is a Windows 3.0 program.
Paint Shop will allow you to display, print, alter and save pictures that use
variouse file formats.
Due to memory requirements for holding large pictures, Paint Shop will run
the best in Windows 386 Enhanced mode.
Paint Shop can be run in Windows' Standard mode. Remember that large pictures
take quite a bit of memory. If you do not have enough memory, to complete an
operation of Paint Shop, a message telling you this will appear.
If Paint Shop can not recover your origianal picture when an out of memory
error occurs then Paint Shop will reset. Paint Shop resets by clearing the
present picture from memory and the client area. Just reopen the picture
file to get the original picture back into Paint Shop.
Loading and Saving of GIF pictures and Dithering of any picture is done in the
background, so you may continue to work in Windows as Paint Shop is taking
care of the processing of your picture.
Paint Shop does allow for multiple instances (more than one copy of Paint
Shop may run at the same time).
Paint Shop has a built in Help system. All menu commands along with additional
information may be obtained by selecting HELP - INDEX.
