Hmm... Given the quality I think it was more of a commercially available
product rather than just a listing on Rainbow Magazine. I do not recall if
it used a CoCoMax high res. adapter or something along those lines I did had
CoCo Max as well and other than the now Extinct PC PaintBrush I have yet to
see such a fine drawing program on the whole present day computer market.
