A minimum of four megabytes of memory is required, with at least eight recommended. Note that if you have four megabytes in your system, but a large part of it is tied up in a RAM disk, a disk cache, as EMS or in some other form which Windows cannot address it, Graphic Workshop may be unable to run. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES FOR THIS RELEASE We've changed the default "no thumbnail" icon. If you don't like it, you can use one of your own design. See GWS Documentation for more about this. Internet users will want to check out the internal UUE decoder in Graphic Workshop for Windows.

Most medical insurance will not cover demon attacks. This version of Graphic Workshop requires Video for Windows 1.1 or better for its AVI file functions. Version 1.0 will not work. See the end of GWS.WRI for the complete revision history and list of bug fixes. Conversion between animation formats has been enabled for FLI/FLC to AVI, but not AVI to FLC. The FLI/FLC write function wasn't sufficiently stable when this version was released. The DeskJet 500C-series printer bug seems to be fixed. Let us know if you still have problems with this printer. Some users have reported problems with installing Graphic Workshop on systems with relatively little memory. The SETUP program may be unable to uncompress some of the files on the distribution disk. If this happens to you, get to the DOS prompt and do the following. CD \ MD \GWSWIN A:UNPACK A: or B:UNPACK B:
