- You might want to take a look at CyberPaint and Cyber 3D-Cad (both by Antic
- Software), Deluxe Paint which is now being distributed by Golden Image with
- its optical mouse or the Phase-4 series by Lexicor Software Corp. These are
- but a few of the anaimation programs available. They can all be obtained
- from your local Atari dealer. If you have any problems you can call B & G
- ELECTRONICS 1-216-521-2855 or write 15729 Madison Ave., Lakewood, Ohio
- 44107. All of the above programs are currently in stock.
