- Playmation is indeed Journeyman, retitled to take advantage of Will
- Vinton's name & his process of "claymation".
- My understanding was that the IBM version only supported 320x200
- renders (blazingly fast, though, for Journeyman), but the Amiga version
- can handle well above that. A theoretical limit of 32000x32000, if I
- recall correctly. I certainly have rendered at 768x482, so I think you
- must have seen some junky files. The Amiga version is out, apparently,
- for an upgrade fee of $100 ($350 for first time buyers?). I'll hopefull
- be getting it early next week.
