Seitz This version of Paint-Scrap is halfway to where it will be eventually, but it might be handy for some people in its present form. It may be a while before I finish it, so here it is for now. This version allows you to copy a photo scrap of any size from a geopaint document. The paste option, however, has not yet been implemented. The size of the scrap in bytes is still limited to less than 28K, and color is not yet supported. To copy a picture larger than 28K, just do it in two scraps. This way, at least you have some way of converting larger pictures into scraps and pasting them in a geopublish document. To run version 2.0, run convert on it, then doubleclick on its icon from the desktop. An opening dialog box will appear with the options of opening a document or quitting to the desktop. Click on the  @OPEN  icon and a dialog box will appear with a list of files on the current disk. This box is used the same way that the one in version 1.0 was. Once a file has been opened, Paint-Scrap will read the data from the disk and display the file in basically the same way it is displayed by the "preview" option in geopaint. When the mouse cursor is moved over the preview box it is changed to a crosshairs. A box in the lower right corner of the screen shows the cursor position on the geopaint page in  @cards , the 8X8 pixel blocks that photo scraps boundaries are set on. This display allows you to split a picture into two scraps, with one scrap starting one card over or down from where the other scrap left off. Clicking once within the preview box will cause a dotted line frame to be drawn from that position to new crosshair positions. Clicking a second time "sets" the frame so you can move the mouse outside of the preview box to the menus. Clicking again (inside the preview box) will repeat this process. After you have set the boundaries of the scrap you wish to copy, go to the  @edit menu and select  @copy . If you are running more than one drive, a dialog box will appear asking you to choose the destination drive. This is the drive that the photo scrap will be written to. Make your selection if appropriate and click on the  @OK icon to continue. The drive(s) will run as the geopaint file data is read, converted to a photo scrap, and saved. Most of the paste option is implemented, except for the part that does the actual file modification. Check it out, nothing will be affected, but you can see how the final version will work. To work on another geopaint file, select  @close from the  @file menu. You will be returned to the first dialog box. To return to the desk top, select  @quit from the  @file menu. The other menu options are pretty simple. You can run desk accessories from the currently open disk by using the  @geos menu. If you are running more than one drive, the  @drive menu will allow you to switch between drives at any time, and swap disks if you are not on the drive that has the currently opened geopaint file on it. Anyway, here it is, as far as it's gotten. I hope you find it useful and I do hope to complete the other improvements soon so people who do not own geopublish can copy/paste large scraps. By the way, this software is now copyrighted so selling it without notifying me and giving me a cut of the take is ILLEGAL. Feel free to give it away or trade it, just don't make money off of my work without compensating me! I don't really expect anyone to send shareware donations for this, as it is unfinished, so just enjoy it! Dennis Seitz a.k.a. DEN S on QLINK
