Short: Free update from PPaint 7.x to v. 7.1b Author: info@cloanto.com (Cloanto) Uploader: info cloanto com (Cloanto) Type: gfx/ppaint Architecture: m68k-amigaos Distribution: Only Cloanto, Aminet and Aminet CD-ROM CLOANTO SOFTWARE UPDATE FILES BEING UPDATED - PPaint (v. 7.0 or 7.1) INSTALLATION - Automatic (requires Installer to be available on system) DESCRIPTION This update set transforms the "PPaint" v. 7.x program file to the corresponding version 7.1b file. The installation/upgrade script automatically recognizes and updates the following Personal Paint 7.0 program files: PPaint 7.0 CD-ROM distribution : 681608 bytes PPaint 7.0 floppy, imploded : 368100 bytes PPaint 7.0 floppy, deploded : 684056 bytes PPaint 7.1 CD-ROM and Amiga Forever: 684788 bytes PPaint 7.1 floppy, imploded : 368416 bytes Accordingly, the resulting file will be one of: PPaint 7.1b (full size): 684996 bytes PPaint 7.1b (imploded) : 368440 bytes Cover disk versions are not recognized, and cannot be updated by this script. CPU-optimized versions are also not supported: if you are using a software version other than the standard 68000 one, you need to reinstall the default (68000) 7.0 or 7.1 "PPaint" file first. After upgrading to version 7.1b, it is possible to patch the 68000 software to a version optimized for 68020 and higher CPUs, also available on Aminet, in the biz/cloan directory. Please refer to the Amiga Software FAQ at http://cloanto.com/amiga/classic/faq.html for additional information on versions for different CPUs. Version 7.1b includes fixes to a few minor issues of version 7.1, most importantly the fact that double-buffering chunky-pixel RTG screen modes were assumed to be planar (as per IFF-ANIM spec) when loading and playing animations, resulting in possible memory corruption. If upgrading from version 7.0, please note that additional files are available on Aminet, in the "biz/cloan" directory, to update the Personal Paint blitting libraries, the I/O libraries, the Rexx scripts and the user interface languages. In part due to licensing restrictions, these files do not include all files which are published on the Personal Paint 7.1 CD-ROM.
