Paint packages are well within scope for implementing large amounts
of custom blitting code for doing stuff way beyond the systems'
capabilities onto bitmaps that it probably isn't directly displaying
(for example, several Amiga paint programs use an internal high
resolution high colour depth bitmap to paint onto, and just show
you a preview).
Voyager doesn't have the luxury of a custom bitmap to draw to or
intimate knowledge of the graphics system such that it could or
should blit images itself to 10 or more different possible types of
bitmaps.
If you want alpha channel support in PNGs, it should be simple
as going BltBitMapWithAlphaChannel() - I suggest you lobby
Picasso96 to implement something as such.
Thanks
