Problems Importing PCX Files into Perform (62480)



The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY

The desktop publishing product Perform cannot load Microsoft Paintbrush versions 4.0 and 4.01 files properly. The display has horizontal lines missing and garbage characters along the left side of the screen.

This behavior (which does not exist with Paintbrush version 2.0) occurs because Paintbrush versions 4.0 and 4.01 use a different file format (PCX) than version 2.0.

The only workaround is to use Paintbrush version 2.0.
