Yeah, I remember seeing it... Disney Animation Studio for the PC. I
almost bought it by accident (I had/have an Amiga). I also remember an
announcement for EA's "Deluxe Paint & Animate".
But I don't know if they saved in IFF format.
I agree with the other guy, that PhotoShop is indespensible (on any
platform) But It sucks as a "Paint" Package. Painter 3.0 is great, but
it don't save as IFF (I don't think) do they make a DOS version? My .02$ is
check out the Corel Paint programs, they might have what you are looking
for on the PC. If you need IFFs for Amiga, Main Actor Broadcast is a
nice (and spendy) package for the Amiga that is also indespenceable when
Animating for video, especially in a multi-platform enviroment.
