                  Amigaguide documentation.

Comments......... All programs on this CDROM are commercial software,
                  with Amigaguide documents instead of printed manuals.
                  
                  The CDROM has the same version number as the version of 
                  PPaint on the disc. New versions will be probably be released
                  when PPaint gets updated. (Most information here was taken 
                  from the 6.4 version)

Testers Opinion.. "The Amigaguides include all the information you
                  need, along with illustrations in places, but I still prefer
                  to have a ring-bound manual sitting on the desk when the
                  going gets tough. For PPaint alone, this CD offers good 
                  value for money. The addition of Superbase, Personal Write
                  and the supporting utilities and files bolster the value
                  further still. Commercial PC software has been widely 
                  available on CD for some time, and it's about time the Amiga
                  market caught up."
                  Rating: 90%                   (CU Amiga Magazine Jan 96)

                  "If you are looking for a paint-program, this CDROM offers
                  amazing value for money. Personal Paint is a great program
                  that can compete with DeluxePaint 5. There are many 
                  classic animations from Eric Schwartz etc. Superbase personal
                  and Personal Write isn't of the same quality as PPaint, but
                  still it's nice to have."

                  "This CD offers exceptional value for money. A stupendous buy."
