     Working on Sprite Shop:
     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     Click on the zoomed area to draw. Left click on the colour panel
     to select a colour. Right click to edit that colour. Click on the
     menu to activate and right click to inactivate.

     You cannot cancel in the palette editor.

     Clicking on the tools will restrict you to the original sprite.
     Goto the x1,y1 coordinate and click. The goto x2,y2 and click.
     The tool will be implemented. Right click will cancel the
     operation.

     While saving and loading, press enter without typing anything in
     the filename area to cancel.

     After you type the filename to save you get two crosshairs. Use
     the crosshairs to locate your coordinates. First move to the topleft
     corner of the sprite and click once. The move to the bottomright
     corner of the sprite and click. The area in between the two points
     will be saved.

     While saving,please see to it that the crosshair line is on the
     first pixel lying either on the horizontal or the vertical line.

==============================================================================

     I am not a good artist. So I haven't drawn a sample sprite. But
     I hope it will not be much trouble. If you think you can draw
     a good sample sprite then please do so and send it to me.

     If you create a lot of sprites in this sprite editor the please
     give me some credit in your program. Also please send me a copy
     or tell me where it is so that I can download it.
