SYMPTOMS

 * When you copy an image onto the Clipboard (using CUT, COPY, or Print Screen) and then paste that image into Publisher's Paintbrush 2.0, you receive a general protection (GP) fault.
 * Selecting an unavailable font in Publisher's Paintbrush 2.0 generates a GP fault.
 * When you run Publisher's Paintbrush 2.0 under Windows 95, you see a window title that displays only the letter "W."

GP Fault When Pasting an Image
Publisher's Paintbrush 2.0 expects the Clipboard to contain a device- independent bitmap (DIB). If a DIB is present, Publisher's Paintbrush 2.0 assumes that it is a 1-, 8-, or 24-bit bitmap. If a 4-bit DIB is on the Clipboard, a GP fault occurs.

GP Fault When Selecting Unavailable Font
This problem is caused by a limitation in Publisher's Paintbrush 2.0.

Window Title with Only the Letter "W" Visible
This particular window is known as a "child window" and should read "Width." This child window is of a fixed sized; therefore, it cannot be changed. You cannot read the entire word "Width" because Windows 95 adds the Close button in the upper-right corner of the window.

RESOLUTION
For information about whether the latest version of PC Paintbrush corrects these problems, contact SoftKey.

MORE INFORMATION
SoftKey purchased ZSoft and replaced Publisher's Paintbrush 2.0 with PC Paintbrush 1.0.
