Why is it so hard to use? Why should I waste my time with it? Electro-Paint is a string of bytes, tiny organizations of magnetic fields, minute ripples in an electronic flow. It has controls. Electro-Paint responds, but in ways that are hard to describe. It can be frustrating. It is not automatic. It will reward attention. It has no purposes, except those that are self-evident. It has a reset button. It has subtle bugs. It's free. Try a little "wrst", with some "zoom", ... ...and maybe a bit of "flip" or "spin"... ps, I've successfully downloaded and uudecoded the version sent to the net, it seems to work pretty well... -- -- David Tristram tristram@sgi.com
