- IV. NOTES
-
- All operating instructions are in the included on-line Help file.
-
- This version is the same as the fully registered version except that
- the fully registered version does not include a "Test Drive" watermark
- on saved or copied images. This was the best way we could think of to
- let everyone play with all the tools and features and still maintain
- a degree of protection. In this manner you can see if this program is
- right for you and we sleep well.
-
- Ordering ASL Painter! will get you the latest registered version.
-
- We will add tools and features in subsequent versions of the program.
- The support policy is to upgrade to the latest version for the cost
- of materials, shipping and handling. In the USA this is generally
- around the $5 to $8 neighbourhood.
-
- Known Problems:
-
- Some video drivers don't like to run the Windows Stretchblt API call
- correctly. This is used especially in the Zoom function. If you are
- experiencing any difficulties you may wish to try another video driver.
-
- Our experience has been that this is a function of the compiler AND
- the video driver. (This is our 18th project with this compiler.)
