I HAVE TOUCH UP AND THE HAND SCANNER FROM MIGRAPH. FIRST, THE SCANNER IS GREAT! I'M REALLY HAPPY WITH THE QUALITY OF COPY ON AN SLM804 LASER. BUT (ALWAYS A BUT) I HAVE NOT HAD ANY SUCCESS MOVING FILES INTO MACPAINT (UNDER SPECTRE) OR OF READING MACPAINT FILES INTO TOUCH UP. IS THERE SOMETHING SPECIAL THAT HAS TO BE DONE? IT TOOK ABOUT 1 MINUTE 45 SECONDS TO PRINT A FULL 8.5" X 11" PIC TO THE SLM804. THE SAME PIC, PRINTED ON AN HP LASERJET FROM AN AT WITH AN 80287 (NORTON SI 12.5) TOOK OVER 20 MINUTES. AH, THE DMA IS GREAT (DESKTOP PUBLISHING ON A PC MUST BE EXCRUTIATINGLY SLOW!!!)

PICSW7 will read in a mac picture and transcribe it to something atari-format.
