On the other hand, don't be too quick to blame a particular DA if
your PaintWorks Gold starts working when you remove that DA.  I
suspect your problem is just the amount of RAM available to PWG: it's
a big-time memory hog.  Apart from the space the program takes
itself, the space taken by the OS, and the space taken by the tools,
one of the first things PWG does it request a 640K (!) block.  The
version I have drops into the monitor ("Bonk") leaving the title
screen on the screen when it can't get the memory it wants.
