[gnu.misc.discuss] Freed paint package for EGA+mouse

nelson@sun.soe.clarkson.edu (Russ Nelson) (04/01/91)

As of the first of this year, I have freed the Painter's Apprentice
paint package.  Formerly shareware, it is now covered by the GNU
General Public License.  Painter's Apprentice requires a PC with at
least an EGA and mouse.  It is now available by FTP [128.153.28.129]
and modem (315-268-6667) from grape.ecs.clarkson.edu:pub/msdos/pa/*.
I will also send it out on three 360K (or one 1.44 MB) floppies for
$25.

Painter's Apprentice edits bitmaps, not pixmaps.  That is to say,
it will only edit monochrome pictures.  Don't ask about color,
you're likely to get a rude response.

This package is unsupported.  Neither Patrick Naughton (the other
author) nor I have the time to fix bugs or improve it.  I am willing
to serve as a distribution point, however.  That means that I'll
accept bugs fixes and enhancements, merge them in, and issue new
releases.
