2. Troubleshooting
------------------

  Pablo was designed to run in MS-DOS.  It has been tested with windows 95,
  and runs just as good (if not better) than in DOS.

  This release of Pablo Draw is a BETA release, which means there may still
  be bugs in the program, and not everything is guaranteed to work.  If you
  are experiencing problems running Pablo Draw, it may be one of the
  following:

    a.  You have an incorrect PABLO.CFG
          SOLUTION: Delete *ALL* PABLO.CFG files, and run PABLO.

    b.  You do not have the OVERLAY file in the same directory as
        Pablo, or you might have renamed the EXE or OVR files.
          SOLUTION: Move PABLO.OVR to the same directory as PABLO.EXE,
                    and make sure they have not been renamed to another
                    name.

    c.  You have a corrupted or incorrect version of the EXECUTABLE and/or
        OVERLAY file.
          SOLUTION: Attain another copy of the archive.

    d.  You have an incompatable operating system or hardware.
          SOLUTION: check your hardware setup, and/or try a different OS.


3. How to use Pablo
-------------------

  Pablo Draw was designed to be simple to use, but also to give advanced
  features for the expert users.  This makes Pablo Draw the best ascii
  based drawing program on the market.  This version of Pablo Draw is
  SHAREWARE.  Please read LICENSE.TXT and REGISTER.TXT for more information.

  To use pablo, it is suggested that you just dive right in, and fiddle with
  the available keys.  You can find a list of functions (and what key to
  press) by pressing <ALT-H> anywhere in the program.

  To personalize Pablo Draw, you can modify the PABLO.CFG file either with
  a text editor, or by pressing <ALT-O> in the program.  This file contains
  all of the configuration available to Pablo Draw.  Simply edit the
  configuration file to change how Pablo Draw looks, works, and behaves.

  You may use a mouse with Pablo Draw, but it is not necessary.  At this
  time, the mouse cannot be fully configured.  Perhaps in a later version
  more support will be implemented.
