- /* Well, it finally happened, my hard drive crashed beyond easy repair.
- Lost on the HD was my 2.0 release of Cpaint, as well as the source. So, I
- had to rewrite the entire program from scrap. don't worry, it's really not
- as bad as it sounds, the new version, 2.01, is smaller, faster, and better.
- Full AGA support is available, although auto-detecting is not implemented
- yet, it will be in the future (Hopefully). It now also opens a backdrop
- window instead of a public window, so anyone under 2.04/2.1 will be able to
- have a backdrop, without opening the workbench.
- Well, ignore that, it now gives the option to load a backdrop
- (default) for 3.0+ users, or a window for 2.0/2.1 users. If you have
- problems with the scren size, just wait, I will have a new vrsion out soon.
- I am still working on loading and saving IFF files.
-
-
- The new version includes :)
-
- 1...............More efficient routines for faster running on slower
- machines, ie. a500 a1200 a2000
- 2...............better looking requesters
- 3...............faster palette requester
- 4...............full AGA support
- 5...............erase brush
- 6...............Now opens a backdrop window

- purpose of this paint program
- 2...............fixed the pen toggle problem, now only draws while button
- is being pressed.
- 3...............fixed palette requester problems of not cycling properly
- 4...............fixed opening menu to better explain functions
-
- The following are being worked on :)

- 3...............loading an IFF input file
- 4...............CLI options to bypass menu
- 5...............ability to load as a backdrop viewer
- 6...............auto screen depth detect
