The new version, called EGS-SpectraPaint V1.2, is available as an upgrade electronically from GVP's BBS or GVP's CompuServe file section, or may be found freely circulating on area BBS's and Internet file sites. This release incorporates more features, including new drawmodes, additional image, brush, and stencil functions, an enhanced IFF load/save module that loads more IFF file formats (such as HAM, HAM8, Extra-Halfbright), and a JPEG load/save module. The upgrade is a patch file system that modifies the original EGS-Paint distributed with the EGS-28/24 SPECTRUM, to create the new program.
