KENNEDAM%WWPS@dupont.com (Tony Kennedy) (03/09/89)

I see that DPaint III is comming out RSN. Is there going to be an upgrade
offer for us owners of DPaint I and II ??? You know, send us the cover of the
manual and you first born son and we'll send you the latest and greatest
version.

Just wondering out loud.

Heard from a reliable friend the other day that DPaint III did not work
properly with the Super Agnus chip and that EA had an upgrade that fixed
this.  I was surprised to hear this because I hadn't noticed any
problem and hadn't heard this anywhere else.
 
So I checked a few animations and sure enough, DPaint III does not seem
to recognize the extra Chip Ram in all cases.  The bug must be a sly one
because some of my animations seem okay.
 
Just got off the phone with EA and indeed they do have an upgrade that
fixes this, and it is free to boot!  You must send all three disks to
them, you must state in a letter that you have the Super Agnus chip and
you must state that the animation function is not working properly.  They
will send you the upgrade free of charge.
