![]() Unlike most other applications before and since, Paintbrush version numbers were recorded with Roman numerals.Īlong with the release of Paintbrush, ZSoft, following in the footsteps of PCPaint's Pictor PIC format, the first popular image format for the PC, created the PCX image format. Microsoft's mechanical mice outsold Mouse Systems' optical mice after a few years, but PCPaint outsold Paintbrush until the late 1980s. With the release of Paintbrush the following year, Microsoft no longer needed to sell the software of their competitor in the PC mouse hardware market in order to have the same market advantage. At Christmas 1984, amidst record sales volumes in the home computer market, Microsoft had created a "sidecar" bundle for the PCjr, complete with their mouse, but with their competitor's product, PCPaint. Both Microsoft and their competitor, Mouse Systems, bundled their mice with Mouse Systems' PCPaint in 1984. ![]() (The EGA supported 64 colors, of which any 16 could be on the screen at a time in normal use.)Īlso following the lead of Mouse Systems and PCPaint, one of the first pieces of software on the PC to use a computer mouse pointing device, the earliest versions of Paintbrush were distributed by Microsoft, with a mouse included. When Paintbrush was released the following year, PCPaint had already added 16-color support for the PC's 64-color Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA), and Paintbrush followed with the PC's advantage of EGA support as well. Unlike MacPaint, PCPaint enabled users to work in color. In 1984, Mouse Systems had released PCPaint to compete with Apple Paint on the Apple II computer and was already positioned to compete with MacPaint on Apple Computer's new Macintosh platform. It was originally developed as a response to the first paintbrush program for the IBM PC, PCPaint, which had been released the prior year by Mouse Systems, the company responsible for bringing the mouse to the IBM PC for the first time. Microsoft Windows NT 4.PC Paintbrush was a graphics editing software created by the ZSoft Corporation in 1984 for computers running the MS-DOS operating system. Microsoft Windows Win32 - Windows 3.1/95/98/ME using Visual Studio/MFC (legacy) GNU C/C++ compiler (on a variety of environments/processors) ![]() Sun SparcWorks C 2.x / 3.x / 4.x compilers Texas Instruments TMS320 Cxxxx series, MSP430, OMAP L137/L138 series Linux (all versions) (Ubuntu, Debian, Redhat, Seus, Fedora, Centos, etc.) Your application can be implemented on a variety of environments, with your choice of programming languages: Porting applications between environments, across languages, and on to real-time embedded systems is our forte. ![]() We have the latest Windows, Linux, and Texas Instruments DSP development environments at our facility. We are highly skilled at FORTRAN and Pascal translation to C/C++, Java, legacy operating system and language migration, and porting across 8, 16, 32, and 64-bit CPU/DSP architectures. We thrive on UNIX and Linux, Windows, and Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS). ![]() No platform is too obscure or proprietary, or legacy system too difficult to migrate, no automatic or manual language/code/script conversion/translation too difficult - at least for an honest assessment. ![]()
