Instructions...
Create a directory and copy all the distribution files there.
Type 'YP' to run the program, the unregistered version displays a
start-up screen, hit any key or click one of the mouse buttons
after you have finished reading. You will notice a green panel
with an assortment of tools, this is the main menu where most of
the features of the program are selected.
The various bottles are used to select different drawing
colors. Starting at the second row, the first tool is used for
freehand drawing, next is a line tool, followed by tools for
creating squares and circles. Select the appropriate tool by
simply pointing to it and pressing the left mouse button. To use
any of these tools move the pointer into the drawing area and
press the left mouse button. The line, square, and circle tools
allow you to select the size before anything is drawn, simply
hold down the mouse button and move the mouse to set the
appropriate size, then release the button to draw.
Next to the circle is a brush tool that is used to paint
enclosed areas, this tool is especially fun to use because of
the way it operates. Select the enclosed area you want to paint
and press the left mouse button, you will notice a bouncing color
filling in the empty area.
Just incase you went a little overboard with the last tool,
there is an "oops" tool to undo the last thing drawn or painted.
The save tool is pretty much self explanatory, select it to
save your drawing. A small window will pop up asking for a name,
make sure to give a name you have not used before. If you don't
another window will pop up informing you that you already used
that name. Simply hit any key and select save again.
To retrieve your picture use the get tool. A file menu will
pop up with a list of file names. You can either point to the
file or use the up/down arrows to select. Point to the "get"
gadget to retrieve, or you can erase the file by selecting the
"erase" gadget, or exit the file menu with the "exit" gadget.
Next to the get tool is red door used for exiting the program.
Just incase you selected this by accident a small window pops up to
verify that you really want to exit.
Below the save tool there are two yellow arrows, these are
used to toggle the position of the menu from top to bottom
position. Another tool with a similar feature is also located
right beside it. This tool is used to hide the tool menu, you can
press the right mouse button to reveal it again.
The last tool "new" is used to clear the screen, just incase
you have selected this by accident, press the "oops" gadget to
retrieve your drawing.
