 I.	Introduction

 AxePaint is a  sprite editor capable of editing 8x8 and
 16x16 sprites in both 3 and 4 level grayscale. In addition,
 sprites can be exported as HEX directly to the Str1 variable
 for easy use in other applications. AxePaint uses an
 intuitive GUI so you don't have to memorize hotkeys.
 Writen in the Axe programming language, AxePaint benefits
 from the speed this language has to offer.

 VI.	Exporting as HEX

 There are four methods of exporting the sprite as HEX.

 1 - top buffr:	Only the top buffer will be exported.

 2 - btm buff:	Only the bottom buffer will be exported.

 3 - all buffr:	Both top and bottom buffers will be exported.
		Formatted as: [Top Buffer][Bottom Buffer]

 4 - 8x8 pack:	Identical to "all buffr" will the addition
		that the HEX will be split into 8x8 parts.
