Thanks for the info, Michael! Yes, I agree with you that the paintshop
is about the only good bit of the Win95 version - and that's what I
wanted the version for: a nice paintkit with a cursor that paints the
pixels you tell it to (not the ones next door), and gives a preview so
you don't have to forever load up the full sim to check things line up
on the sidepods etc. Oh well, it wouldn't be like Papyrus to get a
paintkit working correctly first time! I kind of wonder what machines
they playtest these things on...
Thanks again!
