NASCAR Paintkit

HELP !! I`m the owner of the UK version of the NASCAR manual and I`m desperately trying to build a "favorites" car set. But thanks to the manual, I`m getting nowhere fast. I`ve already posted one gripe about the manual but now I can`t import any downloaded .pcx files into PAINTKIT. I have stored the .pcx file in the PAINTKIT directory, the NASCAR directory and the destination directory but every time I click on IMPORT, the car I`m working on just goes white. EXPORT works fine and creates it`s own little .pcx. Am I missing something ? Are there any secret commands I should be typing. I have tried typing PAINTKIT <directory> <name of pcx> but it totally ignores the second part :( Thanks in advance, Andy

The only thing I know to tell you is to change the name of the pcx you want to import to nasc94.pcx and rename the original nasc94.pcx to something else, like .old or .one, .two, etc. Then, when you hit import in paintkit, it automatically brings in the nasc94.pcx file. May not be the best way, but that's how I did it. IGN #70 Red Scorpion Barbecue Sauce Grand Prix Miskatonic Racing "Feel the Sting!!"

Open your cars94 in paintkit. export the pictures, one at a time and rename them in DOS. for instance name nas94.pcx nas94.old Take a pcx such as Tide.pcx and rename it to nas94.pcx and so on untill you have replaced all the exported pcx files with those you wish to import. Takes awhile but it works. Anyone know of any faster way, let us know.
