Here is a new true color only paint program, which can be used on
Falcon 030 to generate wonderful pictures.
The best configuration for this program is:
-VGA 640x480 * colors or RGB 640x200 * colors
-4 MB ST-RAM
-possibly FOLDR200.PRG in the AUTO-folder
-NVDI for faster menuhandling
-keyboard
-mouse
-monitor or TV set
-Falcon 030 if possible
-no Windows 95

I did my best to make the program as save as possible but there are
still a lot of bugs, which YOU may discover! Use this program at
your own risk!
