- DPaint IV AGA and DPaint V (at least) have a serious bug... they will NOT
- replay Animations by typing "4" in most (if not all) gfx modes. You can
- create stuff, as long as you don't `preview' it. Talk about SUCKY! I
- lost many a 2D Animation in Extreme Video Overscan when DPaint FROZE the
- entire system. You would think that they would've caught onto this
- problem, but I guess everyone knows about it and stopped buying the
- product. The only way around this is to save it and run it in PLAY (or
- DPLAY) which will run it flawlessly. If you have enough memory, both
- progs will multitask together (how much you need depends on the size of
- your anim).

- >Is there any other programs which show anims faster then Dpaint?
- AMOS Pro will, if you want to do a little programming. Just about any
- programming language will, however. In the case of Paint programs, I
- would say they all display at the same frame rate... but someone else may
- know better here... I here Brilliance is terriffic with animations. I
- have it, don't use it... it looks like a toy, and I can't see what I'm
- doing because of those horrific menus. Personal Paint Animates about the
- same as DPaint, but they need a better paint palette mixer/arranger
- and support for animating bigger than the screen (though it's the ONLY
- real paint program left for the Amiga).
-
- DPaint just plain sucks. EA started a revolution with DPaint III, and
- killed it with DPaint IV.
