- Electronic Arts would like to thank and acknowledge all those

- and reports on how to improve the program.
-
-
- We sweat blood and tears making this the program for everybody.
- We want to keep making better versions of DeluxePaint, but remember
- piracy and "lending your software" hurts everyone. If you want Amiga
- software to continue to be developed please support the software and
- peripheral companies and your local dealers by buying their wares.
- This ensures that your favorite computer will continue to thrive and
- be supported. If you're using copies of different companies' software,
- including our own, now is the time to think hard about making some
- legitimate software purchases!
-
- Spread the word, not the software.
