    Shareware paint programs are a bit hard to come by. I had the demo for
Minipaint, which had a $25 SW fee, but that was the only decent IIGS paint
program that I've seen in SW. If you're willing to fork over a little more
money, there are two main programs: DreamGrafix and Platinum Paint. Both aregood programs, and I've heard good things about both. I have DreamGrafix as it
allows one to make/edit 3200-color pictures, and a lot more cool things.

   DeluxePaint II, now discontinued, was also a pretty good program, as well
as PaintWorks Gold. If you can find someone willing to unload themselves of
these products, you might consider them, but I know that PaintWorks Gold
isn't too compatible with Hard Drives and GS/OS System 6. I don't know about
DeluxePaint, but you might seriously consider supporting programs for the IIGS
that are still being upgraded and the authors are dedicated to the IIGS.
