Divide this by 8 to get 990.000 bytes FOR A SINGLE BITPLANE. Very, very tight, since DPaint needs this memory (chip, of course) UNFRAGMENTED. I doubt that it is possible without the 2meg Agnus. People who don't have 2 meg Chipmem will have to resort to lower resolutions. At 150 dpi, for example, the memory requirement reduces to 247.500 bytes. Best regards, Holger -- Holger Lubitz, Kl.
