I think you're being a bit OTT, Image Master is just an old program
AFAIR Black Belt stopped actively developing it years ago ('95?). I
think they had other products aimed at the Toaster/Flyer market which
continued development 'till last year (as Don said), I assume they
would also still supply Image Master untill that time but it hasn't
been a developed product for years.
Personally I bought ImageFX instead because it supported my (then new)
graphics card.

If you're happy with a chipset only 24bit graphics program then you
would probably have to buy a second hand copy. If you're genuinely
interested I can probably dig out an old review, I'm sure I've got the
one that appeared in JAM.
It's a pity that good programs like ImageMaster and Brilliance that
use overlapping screens cannot be promoted to run on graphics cards as
I'm sure that would have continued their appeal.
