[The following is a brief introduction to a free color paint program
that I wrote for children ages 4-10 and which I just posted to
comp.binaries.mac. If you are unable to read this newsgroup, or if
you cannot do the BinHex 4.0 conversion, contact me at the address
below and I'll send you a disk in the mail. Any feedback would also
be appreciated.]
-----------------------------------
Welcome to Kiddie Color Paint (KCP), Version 0.2, copyright 1988
by Bruce Ballard. This free program runs in 16-color mode on the Mac II.
It contains many basic features of a paint program, and was designed
primarily for children between the ages of 4 and 10. It will let you
save and later read pictures, using its own form of data compression
(the maximum file size is about 90K, our files are typically 20-30K).

KCP is written in Lightspeed C and has been tested with Systems 5.0
and 6.0.2. It is compatible with Multifinder.  Before launching KCP,
select a simple pattern for the desktop (by clicking Monitor in the
Control Panel). Restart the Mac if necessary. Also, avoid running programs
or desk accessories that manipulate the palette. Naturally, you should
avoid changing the depth of the screen (e.g. the number of colors) while
the program is running.

The 16 colors, in order, should be: white, black, red, pink, 2 greens,
3 blues, yellow, orange, 2 browns, and 3 grays.

Please address comments or questions to me at 55 Clinton Avenue,
New Providence, New Jersey, 07974, USA. For more complete documentation,
and to receive a free update when it becomes available (about 1-1-89),
send $2 (to cover postage and the disk) to this address. Enjoy.
