 Description of the graphic editor
               ART-STUDIO
                ver 2.0
      This program is intended for
creating and editing screen files
*.scr in the operating system iS-DOS.
      The program is operative on a computer
terah type ZX-SPECTRUM with memory capacity not
less than 128k. For the program to work you need
we are memory banks numbered 4,6,7, therefore,
if you are using an electronic disk
ed_128.blk and similar ones, do not create on
their devices are longer than 128 blocks.
      Required files: art.com and art.cod
in one directory.  It may also turn out
useful file art_tune.com in the same directory
log (see description art_tune.hlp).
      The editor is launched from the shell or
from the command line:
       [] art
   or [] art 
      In the latter case, the image file
 downloads automatically.
      After downloading the program you will see
main menu at the top of the screen and an arrow,
which you can control (see description
art_tune.hlp).  Using the arrow you can
select menu items.
