46.0. "MacPaint clone for high res anywhere?" by PRNSYS::LOMICKAJ (Jeff Lomicka) Wed Apr 20 1988 11:03

Suddenly I find that I need a painting editor for high-res mode.  A
MacPaint clone would be ideal. My only requirements are that it allow
you to draw pictures in a monochrome bitmap, and that it will allow my
private print-screen desk accessory to run.

I have DeGas and Neo-chrome, but to use one of them, I would have to
figure out how to make my print screen utility to work in color.

Does anybody have a hack out there that can do this?  Note that saving
the picture, while nice, isn't actually neccessary.

46.1	Does Degas do mono?	MAST::WALLACE		`Wed Apr 20 1988 22:53`	3
	I thought Degas worked in mono (ie: .PI3 pictures) as well as color? Ray

	Degas or Degas Elite should work just fine. -Dave

46.4	Certainly Degas Elite, if not Degas	LDP::WEAVER	Laboratory Data Products	`Thu Apr 21 1988 19:21`	8
	Re: .3 Well, I know that Degas Elite will work in monochrome mode. Can't vouch for sure about Degas. I use it all the time in monochrome to reverse the RLE stock data I get from CompuServe so I don't waste my ribbon printing tons of white-on-black graphics. -Dave
46.5	No problem with Degas, either	MSDSWS::PALMER	Ed Palmer @JMO, DTN 356-6612	`Fri Apr 22 1988 11:18`	0
46.6	Good advice	PRNSYS::LOMICKAJ	Jeff Lomicka	`Mon Apr 25 1988 11:15`	9
	Well, I hunted around and finally found my copy of Degas, and it works great in monochrome. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't use my print screen desk accessory with it, but solved that problem by writing something that could read the .PI3 files and do whatever I please with them (in this case, put it in a window so that I can use my favorite print screen desk accessory). Thanks for the advice.
