Yes, it runs in a DOS window on Win 95,98,2000 and
Xp. But I forgot to mention the Colorix program produces .GIF files
directly while Windows Paint only produces .BMP files which need
conversion. There are utilities to convert formats, but it's nice to
get the finished drawing in the right format without conversion
problems.
The first few drawings took some time, but as the library grew, I can
usually find a drawing close to what I need, start with that, and just
move things around to create a new drawing.

FYI, Paint under XP can save files as GIF, TIFF, JPG, and PNG, as well
as various levels of bitmap. You need to change the popup menu on the
saveas dialog to indicate the proper format.
