- Ok, you're correct. But DR2D is the only 2D format documented in
- the latest RKM Devices manual. Other formats (e.g. Professional Draw
- Clip) are proprietary and kept secret by their creators.

-
- The DRAW FORM is `reserved by Jim Bayless 12/90' according to the RKM
- but it is not documented yet. The DR2D specs have also been published
- in Commodore's Amiga Mail (the official technical newsletter for Amiga
- developers). DRAW may be the better format (I can't judge it because
- I don't know it) but DR2D has somehow gained the status of an `official'
- format.
