Springboard Clipart Volume 1 disk and conversion programs for the Microbee - ChickenMan - 04-10-2024
Thanks to Mbeetech for making available these disks to be imaged. The disks were standard Microbee DS40 5.25" disks that are not bootable, contained no copy protection and were imaged 100% error free.
Springboard Clipart vol1 is intended to be used with Electric Paintbrush. The EP files are almost the same as Macintosh MacPaint files, just a small difference in the header. The clip art in this Art a la Mac Volume 1 was created by Springboard artists Robert Cavey and Karen Christiansen. The disk has 14 category files which each contain a number of small clipart, the categories are -
Faces
Fantasy
Fun
History
Kids
Maps 1
Maps 2
Men 1
Men 2
Sports 1
Sports 2
Women 1
Women 2
Workers
We currently have in the Repository a disk titled springboard_clipart_ds80.dsk and appears to contain most of Volume 1 and 2 clipart files, but not all. We currently have a separate copy of the Volume 2 and its manual in the repository.
The disk graphics_conversion_util_ds40 disk (which is bootable) has a number of graphics file conversion and viewing programs. SMEP.COM can convert the Springboard files to EP (Electric Paintbrush) format while MACSHOW.COM allows you to view the Springboard files.
So in the MbeeTech Repository in the Microbee/Software/Applications/Graphics folder we placed
springboard_clipart_vol1_ds40.dsk
graphics_conversion_utilities_ds40.dsk
