Last I checked dpaint could do pattern fills, first you draw the area to 
be filled with some unused color, then you make that the "background" color
by clicking the select button over the palette color, then put the pattern
you want in the spare screen, then select merge in back from from the 
spare item off the project menu. Voila everything you painted with "background"
color gets what ever was in the spare screen. Now I realize this isn't as
easy to use as Aegis' pattern "colors" but it is very flexible. I hope
it stays in Version 2 even though they have added a more traditional pattern
fill option.
