Several people have either posted directly or replied to the net, saying that the problem of drawing "echoed" in 1 inch squares is due to programs writing to screen memory and can be fixed by running in Black-and-White mode. I have a friend who is experiencing this problem with the following programs and still encounters the problem in Black-and-White mode: Superpaint, MacPaint, FullPaint - all give problems, MacDraw & CricketDraw are ok! Any more ideas?

Yes: Upgrade your software! The problems you described went away with newer versions of the software. Silicon Beach released a Mac II-compatible version of SuperPaint (1.1g?) shortly after the introduction of the Mac II. The latest version is 2.0, which has a color preview mode. MacPaint became a Claris product. Claris released version 2.0, which made the program Mac II-compatible and added other new features. Registered owners can upgrade to SuperPaint 2.0 and MacPaint 2.0 for ~$50 and ~$25, respectively, if I remember correctly. I'm a satisfied user of the SuperPaint, MacPaint, MacDraw, and MacDraw II, and I have used them on a Mac II in color mode.

I've been using FullPaint on my Mac II in 8-bit mode for almost two years. I suggest your friend ask for an upgrade. Charles Allen cca@newton.physics.purdue.edu
