Both: You can't get registered DOS versions. Shareware versions are
still available from several sites, of course. But long-term usage would
violate the shareware license.
NeoSoft officials said in May 2019: "NeoPaint for DOS wasn't
specifically included or excluded from our agreement with SinLios, but
our DOS programs are `retired´ and we don't really want them distributed
any more. I'm Sorry."
Alchemy Mindworks officials said in March 2020: "I'm afraid we no longer
have source code for any of our old DOS applications. Sorry we can't be
of more assistance." -- But I still try to convince them to provide the
registered version for free on a "as-is" basis.
Cheers,
Robert
