==Running==
KNP is a 16-bit Windows program, which means most contemporary operating systems will not run it without some setup.

There are some OS-specific tips below, but a good universal method is to setup a {{jargon|Virtual Machine|virtual machine}}. Basically, this's like running another computer from your regular OS, kinda like emulating a console game. If you install something like [[Guide:VirtualBox|VirtualBox]], you can install an old version of Windows (Windows 3.1, or XP ...) on that, and it will run very similarly to how it would have originally.

===Linux===
If you're a Linux user, you are probably familiar with [[Guide:Wine|Wine]].

===Mac===

===Windows===
Ironically, it can be more of a pain to run old Windows stuff in new Windows than it is to run it in Linux.

==Distribution==
And because of the issues in ''running'' KNP, many people will not be able to play your games :(

Some solutions to this are:
* Archive.org can now emulate Windows 3.x things, but they can run pretty slow! More info. here: [[:Distribution:Internet_Archive]]
* Newer [[:Category:Clickteam|Clickteam]] programs still load stuff made in older ones, so you can use those to re-export it for increased compatibility. This can introduce bugs due to difference in how some things are handled (which I need to make a page about)!

==Utilities==
===KNPUTIL===
Set of Windows tools for 

# Extracting materials from KNP games and it's bundles libraries and converting them to regular formats.
# Generating new KNP games by feeding it existing ones.
# Generating fictional screenshots from a library of KNP games.
