- FrePaint1.0 by Jim Ellis 1 Nov 88
- A mouse oriented drawing program
- Load,Save,and cycle are hacked up versions of Carolyn Scheppner's
- ILBM demos ,the rest is mine. Compiled with AC-basic v3.0
- Freely redistributable as long as -You don't make any money on it,
- and I'm not responsable for any problems arising from it's use.Ok?
- This version is Unfinshed so there's bound to be a couple unhatched
- bugs floating around .A 512K Amiga is fairly easy to run out of
- memory The program shoud exit gracefully if this happens ,but I
- make no promises
