- The following files are sample image files located on the 256 DRAW disk.
- Some of them were originaly downloaded from a public domain Durham, NC
- Bulletin Board System in the Compuserve (C) GIF format. They were then
- converted into ZSoft's (C) PCX format and then converted to VGA format
- using 256 Plus. Others were created using the 256 Draw environment.
-
- 256DEMO.VGA Sample VGA image, Look at this in conjunction with Demo.Doc
- PARROT.VGA Sample VGA image, You'll remember this guy
- STONE.VGA Sample VGA image, look for this from POD BAY in the future
- SANDSTRM.PCX Sample PCX image, A Current Pod Bay Release
- ALIAS.VGA Sample VGA image, demonstrates the Anti-aliasing feature
- PHASE.VGA Sample VGA image, demonstrates the Phase feature
- SUNBURST.VGA Sample VGA image, demonstrates the Sunburst feature
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The following files are palette files that you may find useful. Hint: If you
- have converted a .GIF or .PCX file into VGA and really like the palette,
- you can save the palette into its own palette file without saving the image
- itself...just choose option 2 under the palette menu.
-
- 256DEMO.PAL Sample palette, used with the demo.
- BW.PAL Sample palette, 64 color greyscale palette.
- STANDARD.PAL The Standard VGA palette used by 256 Paint, with a couple changes.

- !!! A Note about device drivers
- Version 1.0 of 256 Draw used Borland's VGA256.BGI device driver. Due to
- palette inconsistencies and the lack of ability to Putimage an entire screen,
- Version 1.1 and all later versions use Jordan Hargrave's SVGA256.BGI device
- driver. For image's created with 256 Draw 1.0, don't worry, version 1.1
- will comment about the image being non-compatible with the SVGA driver, but
- will load it anyway, making the necessary adjustment. The image will also be
- saved as a version 1.1 compatible image! For those of you who wish to create
- images with version 1.1 but still prefer to use the VGA256.BGI driver, there
- is a utility provided in 256 Plus. For those of you who order 256 Plus, If you
- have 720k capacity (default for orders not specifying), I will send you the
- SVGA256.ZIP package as well. You also might want to consider the PB256 Units
- to avoid device driver usage altogether. Those who wish to obtain more
- information about the SVGA256.BGI driver, contact Jordan via the following:
