Known problems;

2. When saving files, if you erase the extension Save Template will default 
   to FRT and Save Picture will default to PCX.

3. Viewing the toolbox over a drawing erases that part of the drawing.

If you're new to FractalVision, try the tutorial within the on-line help.

Many fractal icons are included in the FVW.EXE program. To choose which icon
appears in your Windows program group, select File/Properties and Change Icon
within Program Manager.

Note; Setup adds an association for FRT but not IFS files. These are both 
fractal templates, but you need to associate IFS files yourself. 
We did not associate IFS files because some other program (such as FRACTINT
for Windows) might use them. 

To make an association so FractalVision will load files that you double click
on inside file manager;
 
1 Start file manager 
2 Highlite a file with an .IFS extension
3 Click on File or alt F 
4 Click on Associate
5 Click on Fractal Vision or Type in c:\fvwin\fvw.exe (or what ever path you used)  
6 Click on ok

Repeat steps 1 through 6 for other file types like GIF PCX and BMP that you want
to double click on and have FractalVision load up.
