Toaster Paint
Barry,
I will call you when we get in or sometime on the weekend.
Right after I got your message, I got a fax from David at Composite Studio
tellling me that the upgrade is finished. It is suppose to ship today. I'll let
you know when it arrives.
You have two work arounds at the present time. Quit the Flyer and run the
Toaster program with Composite Studio. It works just fine that way.
Or, use it with the present TPaint in the Flyer. You then have to make the
following adjustments. In all version of the Flyer except for the 4.06, the
program would not save the finished file. However, it would leave you in
TPaint. All you had to do was go to DISK and press SAVE FRAMESTORE. The name
was there, it just would not take that extra step.
Also, the feature of BACK will not work. This means that some of the pre-formed
templetes will not work, if they have backgrounds. One way around this is to
find what is being used as a background and kill it. Then bring it in as either
a brush or framestore and use the size control to make it full screen, then
just save it. It will now become the background.
Another way, is to avoid anthing with a background. If you are creating your
own templete, just use the full screen save rather than pressing BACK.
You could also make up some backgrounds in the Toaster. Render them and save
them. Then use them as backgrounds when you run C.S. in the Flyer. When you do
this, get rid of the eliments when you first render. Then try and remember what
the background looked like and place the eliments in a proper place when you
run it under the Flyer.
