                        RIPdraw vs. RIPaint Feature List
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RIPdraw has these features:

	Supports RIPscrip graphics primitives in a graphical Fourth Generation
  Language (4GL) What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) design interface.

	Direct loading and saving of RIPscrip scenes.  These files can be put in
  message bases, or sent as electronic mail on host systems with or without
  RIPscrip graphics.  You can post graphical advertisements, bulletins, visual
  on-line catalogs and much more.

	16 color 640x350 mode with object oriented editing capabilities.

	Context sensitive, keyword-driven help system.

	Floating Toolbox contains frequently used commands.

	Multi-level Undo ability.  Undo a scene even after saving and reloading!

	Simultaneous text and graphics windows.  View graphics in one window, and
  ANSI/ASCII text in another at the same time.

	Choose from many built-in graphical drawing modes like Line, Circle, Ellipse,
  Rectangle, Arc, Bezier Curve, Pie Slice and more.

	Built-in sizable, colored fonts.

	Editable Fill Patterns and Line Patterns for an appealing look and feel for
  your images.

	User-definable Grid Snap for precise work and creating technical drawings.

	Cut and paste of screen regions.  This is used primarily as a transmission
  savings mechanism.  Rather than transmitting one thing many times, tell the
  terminal to cut and paste on its own screen.

	Easy to use color palette editor.  Create 16 color palettes by selecting from
  the 64-color palette.

	90 page typeset bound manual, with tutorial, RIPscrip language reference,
  in-depth Button and Host Command Text Variable reference, and plenty of
  graphic examples to refer to.

	On-line mouse support.  Define up to 128 mouse fields to control how the
  terminal responds to the host.  Something new to the on-line world:  a fully
  mouse-driven user interface!

	Microsoft(TM) Windows compatible (but not required).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RIPaint includes these additional features:

	Runs in Protected mode - use all that Extended Memory!

	Optimization of scenes for best possible on-line performance.

	MicroANSI fonts -- have text windows with different font sizes.

	Control individual scene settings, such as maximum column width of RIPscrip
  code,  reset window option, kill existing Mouse Fields, Auto-Optimization of
  scene, and more.

	Button command allows the combination of several drawing capabilities together
  in one command.  This makes the display of clickable buttons very fast and
  easy to do.

	Zoom-mode Icon Editor for bitmap graphics creation/editing, plus use of icons
  in scenes.

	Numerically edit object values for precise manipulation of image

	Ability to change a specific palette entry, rather than the entire palette.

	Ability to specify Project Directories, and easily switch between them.

	230 page typeset manual in a binder, with tutorial, RIPscrip language
  reference, in-depth Button and Host Command Text Variable reference, and lots
  of graphic examples to refer to.

	IconList program reports icon files used by RIPscrip files.

	Icon conversion programs.  Convert PCX, IMG, TIF or MacPaint files to RIPscrip
  icon format.

	Future versions will support 256 and 16.7 million colors, compressed RIP
  files, sound support, faster graphics output, transmittable bitmaps (such as
  JPEG files), and much more.
