[Offer] Astral Picture Publisher v1.1a (Windows 2.03 APP)
Hi,
I'm sorting out file dump from Russian Warez BBS and found another interesting application. I see you have version 2.5a, I found the earlier one, it was mixed up with random files in the file dump, but I've sorted the files into two 5.25" 360k disk images as it meant to be originally.
Moreover, I have found Astral Picture Publisher v2.1, but it's kinda broken, three TIFF files from the samples are corrupted, and one directory ("FORWIN21" or something) is absent on disk #3, and I cannot find it elsewhere, but still it works under Windows 2.1. Do you need it?

The installation runs and the first disk (Program) seems to be OK.
The second disk (Sample) contains three corrupted TIFF images, though four are OK.
The third disk (Tutorial) is missing a directory "FORWIN21" where tutorial *.SHO files are supposed to be. It is also saying "Access denied" on file TUTR1.TIF though the file itself seems to be OK.
Installation complete!
Windows is running at 1024x768x256 colors, the application does not support this mode, and uses b/w dithered. When clicking "Xchg" button on the menu bar, it switches to full-screen mode, showing 256 colors grayscale in a 640x400 DOS session, using its own driver.
Also, I have no idea what the floppy images sizes should be, I set all 3 of them to 1.44MB-3,5" but if we delete 3 corrupted tiffs there will be enough space to make all 3 disks to 720K-3,5".
It turned out that the app seems to support not only grayscales using its own drivers, but also 256-color images. So I am really happy to share the app!
