	As far as I know, the current version of Deluxe Paint does *not*
support the 320x400 lo-res interlace mode.  This was because Dan Silva
just thought no one would be using this mode, so he included only
320x200, 640x200, and 640x400.  It is possible that the next release of
Deluxe Paint will include the 320x400 mode.
	The setlace program does *not* put the Amiga into 320x400.
It is still 320x200 (or 640x200), but with interlace turned on, so
the picture fills in the spaces between the lines somewhat.  It will
*not* increase the resolution of Deluxe Paint editing.  However, you
do not need a C compiler to use setlace; the executable is available
in the public domain (try the Fred Fish library; Fred resides in the
Bay Area, you can inquire at retailers in the Bay Area.)
	The Deluxe Paint Data disk is a disk of picture parts for
use with Deluxe Paint; a face contruction set, images of birds, trees,
etc., plus three utilities, including a SlideShow that supports
color cycling (and fading, scrolling, etc.), and some printing
utilities to help manage your DPaint library of images.  This disk
will be released shortly.
	The new version of Deluxe Paint is in the works and includes
pattern fills, gradient fills (really spectacular!), multi-color
brush cycle paint (rather than just single-color cycle paint), stencil-
like color lock (so some color appear "above" the brushes, and some
"below"), and all sorts of other beautiful features.  Dan is a
true software artist.
