I contacted Electronic Arts today regarding the problems some of us have 
been having with DeluxePaint II.  They were very cordial but told me that 
they currently had no plans for an upgrade as they don't know whether the 
problem is with the new operating system release (5.0) or in the program 
itself.  The puzzling part (to them) is that it works for some folks and 
not for others.  I suggested that when people call in, to ask them how 
much memory they have and see if a trend begins to form.  I have seen with 
DiskTimer V2.0 that the program bombs with 1.25M machines but not on 
machines with 2megs or greater.  The same may be true with DPII.  

They are currently waiting for the update from Apple to System Software 
5.0 to see if that clears up any of the problems.

They look forward to hearing from more of us to try and isolate the problem.
