WarPaint (paint program)
WarPaint is a basic paint program and bitmap viewer for the OS/2 family of operating systems including Warp v3, v4, Warp Server v4.5 and eComStation. It allows the user to work with existing bitmaps or to create bitmaps from scratch.
WarPaint had been knocking around PillarSoft for a few years but had been held from release by a couple of issues that may or may not affect most users. If this program is a major part of the reason you would be interested in purchasing the PillarSoft Suite, please be sure it works satisfactorily in your case before making any commitment. Bitmap formats supported by WarPaint are:
- OS/2 1.1, 1.2, 2.0 / Windows 3.0 bitmap - Extensions .BMP .VGA .BGA .RLE .DIB .RL4 .RL8
- CompuServe Graphics Interchange Format - Extensions .GIF
- ZSoft PC Paintbrush Image format - Extensions .PCX
- Microsoft/Aldus Tagged Image File Format - Extensions .TIF
- Truevision Targa/Vista bitmap - Extensions .TGA .VST .AFI
- Amiga IFF / ILBM Interleaved bitmap format - Extensions .IFF .LBM
- YUV12C M-Motion Frame Buffer - Extensions .VID
- IBM KIPS - Extensions .KPS

- X Windows bitmap - Extensions .XBM
- Archimedes Sprite format from RiscOS - Extensions .SPR .SPRITE
- IBM Printer Page Segment - Extensions .PSE .PSEG .PSEG38PP .PSEG3820
The JPG format is not supported internally but because it is such an important format we have made provisions for WarPaint to use a conversion utility to convert JPG's into a temporary BMP file for viewing and editing. The file may be saved as a JPG after editing but the quality is dependant on the jpeg utilities. You will notice that it isn't quite seamless and native by the extra time it takes to load the jpg's.
WarPaint is not for sale separately but is part of the PillarSoft Suite. For non-registered users the program is fully functional for evaluation until it hits its drop dead date.
