        I don't beieve that this is true.  John Shultz utilizes the method
      decribed by Doug quite effectively, and since DPaint is more flexable
      than a sprite editor, he can do more with it.  He recently purchased
      Photon Paint, so perhaps a brush capturer for that is in his plans?

        Anyway, DPaint seems an execelent way to create sprite images.  Do
      any of the many Paint programs support this capability?


                                                Thanks,


                                                        Wade.
