Ported-by: Original-site: Copying-policy: Supplemental: Basis Picture Utility (Bpict) version 1.0A July 11, 1997 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Requires: QNX 4.22 or later, QNX Windows 4.23A or later. (Revision history at end of document.) To install: 1. copy bpict.tgz to /windows/apps 2. cd to /windows/apps 3. execute: gzip -cd bpict.tgz | pax -vr This shareware version of the Basis Picture Editor provides simple editing of QNX Windows picture files. It is primarily intended for modifying existing pictures created by other means. For example, elements can be rearranged or erased. This version does not support creation of new elements. Bpict supports all current fonts and element attributes. In particular, any available font can be defined for any text-type element, or a global default font can be defined for the entire picture. Although this program can be run standalone (taking a single file name as an argument), it is best used through the Basis Workspace Manager (Bwm) which will allow you to browse through directories and will automatically execute Bpict when you Ctrl-double-click on a picture file icon, or press 'menu' on the icon and select 'edit' from the pop-up menu. This package contains the following files, which should appear in /windows/apps/Basis: Bpict -- the program Bpict.pict -- a library of icons and symbols Bpict.help -- help file for Bpict Bpict.splash.pict -- start-up identification picture Bpict.readme -- this file History ------- 0.1A - initial release 0.9A - color picker (for elements and picture background) - picture dimensions dialog (under the 'Picture' menu) - attach tags, labels and pop-up ('balloon') help - background pop-up menu (to set picture color, paste, etc.) - tiled background image (under the 'Picture' menu) - variable-size temporary grid (under the 'View' menu) - improved 'element information' window - numerous small cosmetic changes 1.0A - displays a start-up 'splash' window (also the 'info' window) Copyright 1996-1997 Basis Computer Systems Inc.
