Also, there were more Amigas in evidence at the party, although still greatly overshadowed by the PC Quake players. I spotted around 25 Amigas set up and being used at asm, compared to around 12 last year." c09So it seems that after the release of Pressure#2 - their long delayed and even more awaited Scenzine - last week, the british group really is back for good to push on.

The particular release of Personal Paint 6.4 now on Aminet (biz/cloan directory) is little more than 18 months old, and includes support for anim-brushes and ARexx, which were not supported by the first 6.4 release (also bundled with some Amiga computers). With few exceptions, such as the lack of full documentation this is the full retail version of Personal Paint 6.4, including 20 different user interface languages. The version of Personal Paint 6.4 now released for free download is not a demonstration version, but is fully functional, and may be used without limitations for productive applications. Personal Paint 7.1 remains the latest version, while we are working on version 8, which however is not expected to be ready at least until the second half of 1999. Personal Paint 8 will feature true color, layers, and advanced animation functionality. Suggestions regarding the features of Personal Paint 8 are very welcome, and can be addressed to suggestions@cloanto.com (preferably containing "Personal Paint 8" in the message title). c07 Election 98 For ICOA Developers c09 03.06.98 c08The Transitional Steering Committee of the ICOA is pleased to announce "Election 98".
