OK, so I have some beautiful .PCX graphic files that I want to use
on my 386 system under Windows 3.0 using Paintbrush.  Problem is,
that while Wordperfect 5.1 and the very good GIF/PCX viewer CSHOW
do the right thing, Windows does not appear to support this 
resolution.  Worse, it converts my 256 color images to 16 colors,
thus I cannot edit them with the Paintbrush program.

I am somewhat amused that Wordperfect 5.1 does a better job of
doing simple graphical things right (like scale the image, print and
preview the image) than the much touted Windows 3.0.   For example,
it appears in Paintbrush that the 'scaling factor' depends on the 
'printer resolution' for reasons that escape me.  Also, Microsoft
has to have some of the worst documentation in the history of computer
products bar none.  There is nothing in two 2" thick manuals addressing
these problems.  Their user manuals talk down to the audience.  Go figure.

Can anyone recommend a fix to my problem in paragraph one?  Are there
better programs available than Paintbrush?

Thank you, oh net.
