I seem to be asking a lot of questions lately. Well, I'm trying to do things I haven't done before..... Anyway, I just stumbled over what appears to be a bug in DPaint ][. Namely, the "double horiz" (and presumably similar for vert) function on brushes stops working for large - but less than 1/2 the screen - size brushes. Is this a bug fixed in one of the "quiet updates"? Or is it a documentation bug (they don't say there's a size limit!)? Thanx, <mike -- All around my hat, I will wear the green willow.

I've seen this problem many times and assumed that there was not enough contiguous memory remaining (chip wise) to hold the new brush. It depends on the size of the picture, screen resolution and number of colors, of course. There may be a bug there somewhere, however, as really large brushes (almost the whole picture) can crash the machine when they are moved. I get around the problem by using two smaller brushes instead of one large one. It's pretty easy to seam them up. ...sjk -- * Defence & Civil Institute * ...!utzoo!dciem!king * of Environmental Medicine * Stephen J King - Simulation & Training Group - (416) 635-2149
