Not to be a bore or anything but if you look at the first line the
first author states that the *latest* version of DpaintIII is 3.25.
You have a *very* old version and it does NOT allow larger bitmaps
than 1008x1024.  You MUST have version 3.25.  Read my lips VER 3.25.

I guess alot of people only read between the lines. <grin>
