- But you already have ADPro, and it has ARexx support, so you
- can write a script to go through all the clip art files and
- change the color registers (I imagine as I don't have ADPro).
-
- I only have DPaintIII and I have to MANUALLY load each file,
- and click on the palette stuff to change it. What a drag!
-
- Anyone know of an easier way???
