RIPaint?

Post by wohali »

HI there! New MBBS sysop, long time MBBS user / other sw sysop.

Is there any replacement for the 16-bit RIPaint (.DLL I think) in the new v10? I see the button greyed out in the Worldgroup Configuration Editor for Core Text Blocks. I do have an old copy of RIPaint but... no DLL.

I don't (yet) know what happened with the RIP ecosystem; I assumed it just died off. I'm not certain whether the owners of the code are still around -- wonder if they'd contribute their code to a modernization effort. I remember when RIP came out and how cool it was for what it accomplished at the time.

I have the same question. I have an older version of Ripaint, and there are even DLLs available at bbs.themajorbbs.com, but I don't know how to activate it. Excuse my ignorance.

greetings from Chile, South America.
