- DPaintIV has a bug. The AmigaDOS 3.0 promotes interlaced screens to
- non-interlaced if the application doesn't specifically request NTSC-
- compatible monitor modes, which must be interlaced. Unfortunately,
- DPaintIV does and it shouldn't. Electronic Arts is supposedly aware of
- the problem. Meanwhile, there is a PD program out there that will
- force the promotion to non-interlace, but the name escapes me.
