DP3 was great for its time (Announce)

Deluxe Paint 3 was great for its time, although it used only PCX and LBM formats.

Symmetry, align to grid, advanced working with brushes, convenient keyboard shortcuts were its strong points.

Its weak points: 256 colors max, few formats, one undo level.

It would be nice to find good and open source DP3 clone, I would use it for pixel art.
