VGACAD is an all-purpose graphics editor, image processor and paint     
program to create, enhance, or colorize digitized images.  VGACAD       
provides 21 brush shapes with 5 different brush modes, normal, spray,   
air#1, air#2, and eraser.  Air#1 (airbrush) adds a color mixture as you 
paint over your picture, like a real air brush.  Air#2 mixes colors in  
more gradually.  Spray, when used with the MASK feature, will have the  
effect of placing a stencil over the painted area.  There are 256 color 
fills, border tracing, and pattern/gradient fills.  You can colorize    
grey images in the same way old movies are reborn in color.  Three modes
of zoom editing are available.  Cut and Paste functions are also fully  
supported.                                                              
                                                                        
VGACAD provides several ways of altering the size and image orientation.
Portrait will rotate the entire screen 90 degrees. Horizontal will      
create a mirrow image of any defined area.  180 degrees will make any   
defined area upside-down.  Vertical will create an upside-down mirror   
image.                                                                  
                                                                        
Four different file types are supported by VGACAD.  .BLD, or BLoaDable, 
pictures supported by BASIC.  .PLT, or PaLeTte, also in a bloadable     
format.  .GIF, CompuServe's Graphic Interchange Format.  .CLP are CLiP  
art files.                                                              
                                                                        
VGACAD also provides utilities to convert pictures from CGA to VGA, from
EGA to VGA, and from VGA to EGA.  A VGA print utility is available that 
prints any viewable color picture in 7 user selected grey shades.  You  
can also shrink large size pictures.
