	Hello and welcome to Art School!

	Art School is a fun and easy way for kids to enjoy and be creative with
	computers and art.  With a large and easy to follow interface kids will love
	to experiment with the many options available to them without getting bogged
	down with un-neccessary technicalities found in others similair programs. 
	  
	  Art School was originally released on the Amiga a few years ago and picked
	up quite a following so I naturally wanted to bring it to the PC.  This version
	improves considerably on its parent, and if support is strong enough I hope to
	develop Art School into a much more feature rich application.  Any ideas for new
	tools however would be warmly welcomed!
	  
	  I am currently translating Art Schools documentation and sound into four other
	mainstream languages, so eventually it will be a truly international product.
	Sadly, the cute samples wont be included in multi-lingual versions as the child,
	little Kain, who recorded these hasn`t yet fully grasped the English language!
	  
	  I have decided to donate 20% of each registration fee to childrens charities.
	At this point I have no idea what that would amount to, maybe a lot, maybe a 
	little ?  Either way I dont actually know who to forward it too ?  Ideally I would
	like the money to go towards underpriveleged children in less developed countries
	than the one I happen to live in.  If anyone is a member of something like this
	then please drop me a line with some info.

	Although this is a demo version, most of the features are still enabled and
	you are encouraged to play with every one of them.  The on-line help will guide
	you through the controls and general use of the program.

	This program is shareware and as such if you continue to use it you are required
	to register.  For information on registering please see the help file or select
	Help | Registering Info from the help menu inside Art School.  Thanks.

	I hope you enjoy it!  Have fun :)
