There's a long "GfA: Grafik für Anspruchsvolle" (for the discerning?) type-in which seems to be a mid-sized paint program? Which is SILLY given that the ST had many good paint programs, like Degas Elite, Neochrome (HAM hi-color), etc.
Also wow I forget how annoying GFA BASIC is to read, it had one statement per line, no structs, so
If Ho=1
Hoehe=6
Endif
etc for 600 lines. Auto-indents at least.
I wrote many large programs in it.
