A couple weeks ago someone posted a message saying the there were problems
with DPaint III running with a Super Agnus chip. They also said that Electronic
Arts would provide an upgrade free of charge if you sent in your original 
disks.

The problem is that supposedly for some animations DPaint III does not 
recognize the extra chip RAM that Super Agnus provides. Well, I have the Super
Agnus chip and I had noticed problems with loading animations.

I sent my disks off to the address at EOA with a letter explaining the problem
and would they please send me the upgrade. Well, today I got a letter back
from them saying "Here is a replacement copy of your ORIGINAL program." and
"Here's a suggestion: Keep the disk write-protected at all times".

Nothing about an upgrade, just a letter implying that I had somehow messed
up my own disk by not write protecting it (as if I run the program off the
original disk). What's the deal? Has anyone else attempted to get the upgrade?
Has anyone been successful? I am going to call EOA tommorrow to see what's up,
but it doesn't look good.
