Here is a message from ages ago for the Paintworks Gold patch.  I've
been using it for years with this patch and 'no problemo Uncie Herb'.
:-)

Patch was written by Jason Harper.

Search the program file for the bytes C9 08 00 D0 CE, and change the
$08 to a $7F.  It's trying to allocate a 640K block of contigious memory,
and is only checking in the first 512K of your computer for the start of
such a block: this renders any memory beyond the 1.125MB (512+640K)
point unusable by the program.  With the patch, it will (hopefully) keep
on looking for a suitable block throughout the computer's installed RAM.
