Welcome to Quincy Paint setup file. System requirements 98 or better(??95??) 233 mhz or better video card and monitor that supports at least 24 bit display (SEE NOTE BELOW)* at 800x600 mode or better (640x480 mode is fine but QP was designed for higher resolutions). 32 megs of ram(16 is probably ok) or better Installation 1.) read "License.txt" 2.)Run setup.exe. Follow the instructions. Uninstall issues To uninstall Quincy Paint(Why would you) go to "Control Panel" - "Add/Remove Programs". Select QP click "Remove" If windows tells you that the "shared file QFilter.dll is no longer used by any other programs. Do you want to remove it?" Click "yes" Then, because the help file and QP creates files after installation, you will need to delete some stuff manually. Just delete the folder where you installed QP(the default is "C:/Programfiles/QuincyPaint" - so you would delete the "QuincyPaint" folder). Please read "License.txt" and "BugReport.txt" Thank you for trying Quincy Paint. *Qp will run in 16 bit mode. However you may get some unexpected results out of floodfill and filters. QP will probably run in 8 bit mode, but I don't know what will happen. Because I never tried it. You shouldn't either.(addmend: I did try it and it worked ok but it has to use the desktop palette so it would be difficult to see exactly what you've got.) Also, I forgot to mention in the help file, that you can use the arrow keys to scroll the image. Like, if an image is larger than the view area, and you want to draw a line or something, you can make your start point, and, use the arrow keys to scroll the image to where you can place your end point. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
