- Printing:
-
- There is no "click button" for printing. Not to fear,
- however! You can print your child's artwork to your printer by
- pressing the ALT+P keys. For those who are unfamiliar with
- hot-keys, ALT+P is activated by pressing the [ALT] key on your
- keyboard, and WHILE STILL HOLDING IT DOWN, press the [P] key.
- After you tap the [P] key, release both keys. At this point a
- pop-up menu will appear from which to choose a printer model.
-
- We have tried to support the most popular printer series on the
- market. The listing should cover 90% of the printers
- currently being used. If you do not see your printer series
- listed, select the next closest printer. For instance, if you
- own a Star Micronics 9-pin dot matrix printer, select the Epson
- 9-pin dot matrix printer. If none of the printers listed work
- for you, please leave the author an e-mail message on The
- Mustard Seed BBS at (703) 372-9680 informing us of your printer
- model. We will try to provide a specific printer driver file
- for your printer.
-
- You might ask why no printer "click button" was provided in the
- program interface? We thought it best for Mom and Dad to be
- the ones who initiate all printouts. Your own Lil' Picasso
- may be too little to understand the complexities of turning the
- printer on, selecting a printer, inserting paper, etc. so we
- felt it best to hide the print feature from them. If your
- little one is old enough, then ALT+P should not be too
- difficult for them to learn. Let us know your thoughts on this
- matter.
-
- If your printer is connected to a parallel port other than
- LPT1:, then you can specify on the DOS command line the
- appropriate parallel port. For instance, to specify that your
- printer is connected to LPT2:, start the program from the
- DOS prompt --> LILPIC LPT2: press [ENTER]

- Problems:
-
- If you have any questions about Lil' Picasso, and you have not
- yet registered, please enclose a self-addressed stamped
- envelope to insure a speedy reply. Please do NOT send us
- defective disks unless you obtained the program directly from
- the author. At the DOS prompt type "CHKDSK" and if you find
- any bad sectors or lost clusters or file allocation errors,
- contact the SOURCE from which you purchased the disk. Lil'
- Picasso was released after extensive testing, and if you have
- any problems, most likely it will be a result of damaged or
- missing files during the copying process from your vendor or a
- pinched floppy sleeve during mailing.
-
-
- Shareware:
-
- Lil' Picassso is distributed as shareware software. Shareware
- is a "try before you buy" software marketing concept that
- allows the user to obtain fully functional copies of programs
- for evaluation. The distribution and copying fee that you may
- have paid to obtain this disk does not cover the cost of the
- software contained on this disk. Shareware programs such as
- the one that you have obtained require separate payment to the
- author if it is found to be a useful product and if it is used
- beyond a reasonable evaluation period.
-
-
- Distribution:
-
- Please contact the author/sysop with a SASE or e-mail
- message on The Mustard Seed BBS prior to distribution of Lil'
- Picasso IF THE FILE DATE STAMP ON LILPIC.EXE IS OLDER THAN 2
- YEARS. We simply want to insure that you have the latest
- version of the program. Thank you.
