Sorry about the reference to the thunderclap but it was the first thing that it
sounded to us so has thus stuck. I took my copy back to the store from which I
purchased it (Super Software in Richmond B.C) and they immediately swapped it
with a new one. I took the new one home and this one works. The thing that adds
to the mystery is that on my way to the store I stopped by at a friends house
who also has an Amiga and tried the disk on his system and it worked!. I did
neglect to mention that to the people at the store thinking that they might say
that it is my machine rather than the software. My friend's Amiga is a newer
model than my old system and has the newer disk drives in it ( you can tell
from the eject action if they are newer models) so maybe his is more tolerant
of diskette errors. Oh well the program is running and the kids are happy
again. BTW the kids also love Deluxe Paint and have taught me a few things
about it. I would like it if the program would check if there are drawers on
DF1 and use those as default pictures and brushes rather than defaulting to
DF0: I realize that you can change the default after you load but they forget
and it is REALLY to slip from LOAD to SAVE on the HOT BOX.
