ostensibly, yes, though I'm not 100% sure I buy it. wikipedia and other sources say that microsoft based paint.exe on pc paintbrush, but the UI is completely different and I can't see any good reason for that? i kinda want a more solid citation.
yeah so case in point, the cite on wikipedia goes here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1470412914544539
and that in turn says: Software developer ZSoft had been selling its own 16-color paint program – PC Paintbrush, programmed by Mark Zachmann – since 1985, and this became the code base for the next incarnation of MS Paint (Zachmann, 2014, personal communication). [10]
but then we look at cite 10 and it does not say that, nor is there the actual text of the personal communication.
that said, the author has no conceivable reason to lie, so.........?
Well, PC Paintbrush looks very close to Microsoft Paintbrush, as paint was known in windows 3
The two lots of every shape and two eraisers cinches it i think. idk, i'm not going to check beyond that
oh i guess there are two erasers, i missed that. yeah okay i guess
as an aside i really like being comfortable to say "i'm not going to check". putting stock in beliefs about unimportant things the exact right amount, which is none at all
