It seems that it is becoming a regular feature of Aminet series to include some commercial program in either full or special version to Aminet CDs. This time it is full version of XiPaint 3.2 24-bit painting software.
Some 700 MB of new software has appeared since number 10 and it is all included in this CD. One thing stands out here, I saw this megalomaniac demo called 'Data World' uploaded to aminet in January and since it is some 80MB uncompressed I didn't see it very smart thing to do to download it with my 14.4k connection and just decided to wait until this Aminet compilation. And what a demo it is! Purely awesome animation. This alone is a viable reason to purchase this CD. Now I only wish someone released 24-bit hires version of this same demo in some CD and I'd be just drooling over it.
When you include the 128 Megabytes in the pix drawer you get one of the finest picture/animation concentrated compilations so far.
