Hello,

I just discovered a disk containing tons of my old computer art
drawings from when I was a kid. Unfortunately I can't find any
program that will view them or convert them. Can someone tell me what
program will view and/or convert Deskmate .PNT paint files? Thanks!

Deskmate. Look for a copy on WakaWaka (telnet:wakawaka.dns2go.com).

I can't run Deskmate on my current computer. I was hoping to just
find a .PNT viewer. Does anybody know of one?

Thanks!

Send me a .PNT file and I'll see if I can find something that will work.

Deskmate is a 1.2MB file. The entire operating system. It ran on a 286,
and will run on any modern PC. You should be able to open it up on the
Windows desktop. I just tried it myself and it worked. You probably can
do the same thing I did & put your disk into your current computer, then
read it from the Deskmate window.

Here's where I found the file. It's on the web:

I hope it works,

Thanks for the info about deskmate! Once you are running deskmate,
how do you convert the image? I do not believe there is a "save as"
.gif in the deskmate "Paint" program. Also, I do not think there is
screen capture ability.

Getting closer...!
