AVpaint runs with 1 Mb of CHIP memory, 1 Mb of FAST memory
and a standard M68000. Memory is pretty tight then, it is
therefore recommended that you close all possible windows
and CLIs before running the program on an A500 or A2000
with only 1 Mb of CHIP memory. AVPaint runs best under
AmigaDOS 2.0 and a M68030 with 2 Mb of CHIP memory and
2 Mb of FAST memory.

CAUTION: In one save mode, AVpaint uses a special non IFF ILBM
format, 'planeC', for images which is not recognized by AVideo.
It will blow AVideo. This format will no longer be used in
future, therefore avoid using this format.
