They named it “Mouse Draw”. The interface was primitive but the program functioned well. Wolfgram traveled to SoftCon in New Orleans where he demonstrated the program to Mouse Systems. Mouse Systems was developing an <a href="/wiki/Optical_mouse" title="Optical mouse">optical mouse</a> and they wanted to bundle a painting program so they agreed to publish Mouse Draw. The original program was written entirely in <a href="/wiki/Assembly_language" title="Assembly language">assembly language</a> with primitive graphics routines developed by Wolfgram.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources. (February 2023)">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup> </p><p>John Bridges worked for an educational software company, Classroom Consortia Media, Inc., developing and writing Apple and IBM graphics <a href="/wiki/Software_library" class="mw-redirect" title="Software library">libraries</a> for CCM's software. Bridges and Wolfgram were friends who had been connected through a bulletin board system developed and run by Wolfgram. The two collaborated cross country via the <a href="/wiki/Bulletin_board_system" title="Bulletin board system">BBS</a>, Wolfram in California and Bridges in New York.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources. (February 2023)">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup> </p><p>Mouse Systems wanted the paint program to capture the look and feel of MacPaint. John Bridges and Doug Wolfgram started reworking Mouse Draw into what became PCPaint. The program was completely re-written using Bridge's graphics library and the top-level elements were written in <a href="/wiki/C_(programming_language)" title="C (programming language)">C</a> rather than assembly language. Bridges developed the core graphics code for the first version of PCPaint while Wolfgram worked on the user interface and top-level code. Mouse Systems signed an exclusive agreement with Wolfgram's company, Microtex Industries, Inc., to bundle PCPaint with every mouse they sold.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources. (February 2023)">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup> They began publishing PCPaint with their mice in 1984. </p><p>Microsoft responded in 1985 by bundling a competing product, <a href="/wiki/PC_Paintbrush" title="PC Paintbrush">PC Paintbrush</a>, with version 4 of its DOS drivers for the <a href="/wiki/Microsoft_Mouse" title="Microsoft Mouse">Microsoft Mouse</a>, replacing its in-house Microsoft Doodle program which it published with version 1 of the DOS drivers in 1983. Microsoft’s mouse began to outsell Mouse Systems mouse. In November 1985 Microsoft bundled a cut-down version of PC Paintbrush with <a href="/wiki/Windows_1.0" title="Windows 1.0">Windows 1.0</a> (called <a href="/wiki/Microsoft_Paint" title="Microsoft Paint">Microsoft Paint</a>), later bundling an updated version of PC Paintbrush with <a href="/wiki/Windows_3.0" title="Windows 3.0">Windows 3.0</a> (as Paintbrush), impacting PCPaint’s marketshare. </p><p>In early 1987, Mouse Systems decided that PCPaint wasn't helping to sell mice any longer so they discontinued the bundle deal and returned rights to the code to MicroTex Industries, but retained rights to the name, PCPaint. Wolfgram then combined the paint program with a new animation system he was developing (called <a href="/wiki/Graphics_Animation_System_for_Professionals" title="Graphics Animation System for Professionals">GRASP</a>) and Paul Mace Software bought publishing rights to the animation system and PCPaint, which was to be renamed <b>Pictor</b>. Bridges again got involved and took over programming responsibilities for GRASP as well as PCPaint while Wolfgram focused on more of the business details. </p><p>In creating the first version of PCPaint, Doug had a dual-floppy machine with a Computer Innovations <a href="/wiki/Compiler" title="Compiler">compiler</a> on one disk and <a href="/wiki/Source_code" title="Source code">source code</a> on the other. John had the "luxury" of a 10MB hard disk in his XT.
