SUMMARY

You can load .PCC files created in Microsoft Paintbrush version 1.0 or 2.0 into Microsoft Paintbrush version 4.0. The .PCC files can be imported into an open Paintbrush drawing area using the Paste From command in the Edit Menu.

Paintbrush 4.0 does not mention .PCC extensions. However, it can load .PCC extensions if you specify this extension in the filename. If you do not specify the .PCC extension, Paintbrush adds the extension specified in the Image Format box, either .PCX or .TIF. This causes a "File not found" error message.

The .PCC file can be correctly imported if you know the path and filename of the .PCC file. You must type the complete path into the Filename box before selecting the Paste command.

MORE INFORMATION

With Paintbrush 4.0, you can load both .PCC and small .PCX files with the Open command. This generates a small image in the upper left corner of the Paintbrush screen with a limited drawing area. To make a larger drawing area, the image must be pasted into a drawing area the size and width specified in the Create a New Image dialog box.
