Will you supply the kitchen sink too?

Nice list

[Wampus]

Thanks for putting together that excellent list  A couple of things there I didn't know about that I'm going to find handy in the future.

Just wanted to say that I love Grafx2 for being compatible with forgotten Amiga and Atari ST file formats. It can also deal with bit-planes in the old 16-bit ways. Very useful for complex ripping of old game graphics!

Also Pro-Motion, although it's a paid product
It's excellent for drawing and animation, similar to Deluxe Paint
