WHAT IS IN THE DRAWER
---------------------
Papio-Design the launcher: opens the programs of the pack, each on
the screen and in the part of it you chose
Folios page layout: text, image and graphic frames placed
freely on the page, printed or exported as PDF
Graphos vector drawing: logos, illustrations, diagrams, with
text and pictures, saved as SVG, exported as PDF, EPS,
DR2D, PNG or JPEG, printed; opens WMF, EMF and DR2D
drawings
Momento your photos: browse the folders, sort by date, view,
adjust the colours, print
Pixelios pixel painting: pencil, brush, fill, shapes, text, on a
canvas with real transparency, saved as PNG, JPEG, IFF
or BMP, printed (formerly Croquis)
Papio-RegTool registration: pick an offer and register - one window
Shared what the programs share: the fonts, and Ghostscript
10.07 native PPC, used by all four for printing
Each program has its own readme in its own drawer, and its user manual in
the Docs drawer, in the 16 languages of the pack: the "?" button at the top
right of its window opens it. This readme is only about the pack.
INSTALLING
----------
Copy the Papio-Design drawer wherever you like. Nothing is written outside
it: the settings of every program go to its Settings drawer.
Folios, Graphos and Pixelios save a copy of your work by themselves, every
five minutes, in the Autosave drawer beside Settings. After a crash, the
next start offers that copy back; it is deleted when you save or quit
normally. That is a help, not a substitute for a copy elsewhere.
All the programs speak 16 languages and follow the language chosen in the
Locale preferences.
THE DEMO
--------
Every program in the pack is a demo. Everything can be tried; what needs a
registration is keeping your work: saving, exporting and printing in
Folios, Graphos and Pixelios, and in Momento saving an adjusted picture,
turning a PNG or GIF picture on disk, correcting a date, copying the chosen
pictures, printing and PDF export. The title bar says "Demo" until the program is registered.
Registration follows your MorphOS registered user name and your machine --
there is no key to type. Open Papio-RegTool, pick your offer and click "Pay
and register": your request is sent, then PayPal opens. Write the request
number shown (for example PD-4821) in the note of the payment. You then
receive the pack with the programs you registered for, unlocked, for up to
three machines. For another machine of yours, choose "Already registered:
add this machine" in Papio-RegTool - free of charge.
OFFERS
------
Folios (page layout): 29.90 euros
Graphos (vector drawing): 29.90 euros
Momento (your photos): 19.90 euros
Pixelios (pixel painting): 9.90 euros
Papio-Design, the whole pack - all four: 59.90 euros
Every offer includes all future updates, free of charge.
Papio-Design is sold on its own: a registration for Papio-Office does not
unlock it, and the other way round.
