I registered and downloaded. It's... written in Basic? Why would I use this instead of Botticelli again? I was just surprised to see it pop-up un-announced, but since then I found that the guy announced it on commodore16.com. I thought we were THE scene home, but guess not Ah who cares, lemme go back to my publications.
this is my homepage and it's "just" a site which was created for my "old" basic release Paint System. This programm was coded in 1987/1988 and published as Chris wrote already in a german magazin in march 1988.
Last year i came back to my old 8-bit 'love' and bought a full C=Plus/4 equipement.
Unfortunately when i sold my plus/4 around 18 or 19 years ago i lost all my sourcecodes including my biggest developement project GDOS (Graphic Disk Op. Sys.) and Paint System was a part of it. I looked around what is still "alive" from the scene and found www.forum-64.de and of course the plus4-world and many other sites. i wrote a short topic that i'm searching my paint system release from a magazine in nearly 88 and sidius got it. He sent me the scans and so i got one of my sourcecode back, did a little bug-fixing and now it's back to where it belongs and online for all the people out there who are still interested in this machine.
As i wrote on my homepage... Paint System is what it is: a hires paint programm with basic functionalities operates fully in hires mode with a grpahical interface (without switching to a print screen) and was created in a time when graphic interfaces and clickable icons where completly new. Originally it was integrated in a 80-chars text programm, graphic file-manager and some other tools.
Sidius told me about plus/4-world and he wanted to contact the admins for publishing paint system also here. If you think it's worth it, feel free to upload it (now you got it on your own as you wrote). If you want to put my new site in your news/links, feel also free to do it, it would be kind of course.
@Luca
The version 1.2 is the re-release which you can download now. I'm still planning und coding a completly new version, which is for sure faster and many editors build-in are planned. But more informations when the parts where coded.
