OPTIKS 2.03 (public)
The PC Rockland Graphics Base
Released September 23, 1987
This is the public version of OPTIKS. OPTIKS is a
system designed along the lines of spread sheet for graphics. It
is a large paste up board for graphics from various sources. It
can read graphics files from Apple MacPaint, PC Paintbrush,
Microsoft Paint and a dozen or so other file formats. It can
print out on IBM, Epson, HP, OKI, GEMINI, Panasonic and Canon
printers. It supports CGA, VGA, EGA, Hercules and several other
screen modes. This version saves in BLOAD formats (7 flavors)
and a super compressed mode which is unique to OPTIKS and PCRGB.
This version also supports direct reads from CANON IX-12
scanners and JLASER scanner drivers.
OPTIKS is not fully tested yet. It is a complete
rewrite of PCRGB, but many of the PCRGB features have yet to be
implemented. Don't erase the last (1.36) version of PCRGB yet!
OPTIKS runs smoother and generally faster than PCRGB
and should have fewer bugs. Hercules users should be pleased
with the Hercules support. See WHATS.NEW for a rundown on some
of the features. There is still no documentation. I am working
on the documentation after all this time.
Soon, OPTIKS will be released as a commercial program. The public
version will always be available through the BBS's, but will not
write to file formats other than PCR and BLOAD. The commercial
version will be available some time in December. The pricing is
not yet final. It will be sold as a graphics utility for
converting between file types.
