I'm especially bewildered as to how quantum paint can display 3375 colours or more! Any info appreciated... My quantum paint is pretty useless... I have not seen a conversion program from quantum's own format over to any other (gif would be best!) and so the images are neat to look at... on my atari... in quantum paint.... but besides that, they are useless. Also, my quantum paint screws up the colors whenever I get more than 30-40 of them on the screen at once! (it does that nasty recalibration and changes the colors from like green to red!) I have not used my version since that happens to me EVERY time. Scott -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott D.
