- Can you get him to write a note stating that fact. I have a copy of Paint Power,
- and have never given away a copy because it was a purchased product, (one of the
- very few I ever bought for my 7300). But if it is now considered freely
- distributable, maybe we could get a copy loaded onto the 3b1 archives so others
- can more easily get it.
-
- Note that Paint Power never was updated, and does have limitations. But as it
- is the only program like that available for the 3b1, it is better than nothing.
