  My own, personal copy of Imagine V3.0 for the Amiga arrived yesterday 
(Wednesday 5/4/94).  It had a single sheet update instructing me to manually 
copy over the Lensflare texture and Particles, overwriting the existing ones 
after the install. So, these must be the fixes that people were talking 
about last week here.
  The program icon was still missing.  I thought the new Imagine.pic screen 
was pretty cool, so I used IconUtil to turn it into an icon.  It looks 
pretty good on a 16 color Workbench.  If anybody is interested, I will zap 
it over.  It looks better than that old 2-color  V2.9 icon.
   Hope somebody hacks the location to change the screen  size soon.  I was 
getting used to that larger screen.  The locations should not be too hard to 
locate since the basic screen design didn't change that much, so the actual 
hex for the default screen size should be the same.
  Haven't even done much more than install it and run it but did make two 
observations.  The Spline Editor still seems to be pretty picky about which 
fonts it will recognize (didn't recognize either PS fonts I have) so I 
better get over to Aminet and search through that list of workable fonts. 
 The multiple brushmap bug in V2.9 is fixed! Hooray!  I am not even going to 
try comparing V2.0/V2.9 to V3.0.  I was keeping both versions on my HD 
because one was doing some things the other wasn't but I've deleted them 
now.
   Congrats and appreciation to Impulse for a much improved manual.  Still 
some existential philosophizing but much more Creation-ist than Zen-like. 
 Were you a philosophy major in college, Mike?   Upward and onward!
