mac paint/ pngt files

Timotheos · #1 February 17th, 2007, 09:19 PM

I was wondering if its possible to download mac paint anywhere and if i could, would it run under classic?

I have .pngt (apple macintosh paint image) files that i want to edit/create. Is theres any way of converting images to this format (image converter can only convert to .mac (macintosh paint document))?

If I could get the mac paint app I would be stoked.

Hope I make sense.

Cheers.

P.S. Just incase anyone was wondering why Im working with this file, im trying to edit some images on mac Cricket (1986)

Graphic Converter converts a slew of image formats. It's $30
shareware from versiontracker.com -- and well worth it.

But a ".pngt" file is the same as a ".mac" file. They're aliases
of MacPaint. See:

I sincerely doubt that MacPaint, if you can find a copy, will run
under Classic. Way too old an app.

Im not too keen to spend $30 on converting a couple of images.

If i open up a pngt in image converter the only best option it gives me is to save in .mac but Mac Cricket does support .mac files for some stupid reason (maybe theres something in the saving settings that would work? or i could hide the alias or change the alias if thats possible?)

I was thinking MacPaint would have to be around the same time as the cricket game im playing so I thought there could be a chance of it being able to run, but I doubt i would find it on the internet

Sorry, I thought you were talking old Cricket Draw. Nope. Why don't
you look at the OSX version of Cricket?

Who would have thought there was an old program called cricket draw? haha

Never seen that game before, might look into it someday when im bored but the 1986 game im playing is pretty realistic and overall, probably a better cricket simulator than that game. (apart from graphics)

Plus the extreme age of the game is pretty cool

graphic converter will open and edit and save files without spending any money. you just get a diag box count down at the beginning before the app finishes loading. its the best all around mac image app there is.

Thats what i was using (I was calling it image converter, my bad)

That is a pretty good converter but I cant get it to save pngt files. I think I got the program from the apple developer tools or something with no diag box count down at the start.

Thanks for the help.
