NeoPaint
NeoSoft created
NeoPaint, the DOS paint program Dov uses the most. Now they have a
Windows version! Dov heartily recommends this paint program. (The
other ones are good too but Dov hasn't used them as much and so
cannot say much about them yet.) NeoPaint doesn't have as many of
the fancier effects of other paint programs but it does support
GIF, PCX, and BMP in a variety of palette modes including 16
color, 256 color, grayscale, and TrueColor. This is a shareware
paint program; you can download it and use it for free but it
will stop working after the trial period is over. Still, the
price is actually pretty cheap for a quality paint program and
well worth the price.

D-Pixed
D-Pixed is a very popular Freeware paint program in Japan and is
frequently used to create KiSS dolls there. It has support for
some very useful add-in tools (currently only in Japanese but you
can probably figure them out with a little experimentation).
Update (10/3/2009): The japanese site is no longer available, however an English language version of
D-Pixed is available at Flat2D ( http://www.flat2d.fr/dpixed_en.aspx),
a site dedicated to drawing programs.

LHA v2.55e
KiSS dolls are always distributed in LZH-compressed files. This
simple DOS command-line utility will allow you to compress and
decompress LZH archival files. Please note that, if you use Direct KiSS,
you don't need this program since Direct KiSS can create the LZH archive
for you.
How To Use
LHA is a DOS-based, command-line utility. If you're using Win95
and have no idea how to use an DOS-based utility like this one,
you're probably going to be a little lost. This short document
might help point you in the right direction.
