Dear E/A….don't the instructions in the manual for DPaint specifically explain HOW to change the Preferences file on the original disk….and here you say that "it is a BAD IDEA (your emphasis) to put new preferences on a product disk…." How is one supposed to customize their D/Paint (which is a LOT more expen$ive than Archon) for their specific printer, or even center the screen if they don't change preferences and re-save it to the original disk? I guess you could USE instead of SAVE preferences but then you'd have to do it EVERY TIME you loaded up DPaint. Keeping this general conversation in mind, I'll make absolutely certain that if I purchase any of your Amiga gameware, I'll NOT change the preferences file, or at least not re-save it onto an original disk!
