# Eye-Q

This user friendly program has been on the market for about four years but seldom do you see it mentioned. So I decided to encourage sowcone else to use it by telling how I find it after three years of on and off use.

On start up the first thing you see is a narrow status bar at the top of the working screen. This displays the x and y position of the cursor, the Ink and Paper color (in color) and the drawing mode you are in (Skip, Set, Erase, XOR). Fl toggles the status bar from top to bottom or makes it disappear.
