According to the May issue of MacUser, MacPaint is in its last version.
MacPaint's features are to be included in the next version of MacDraw, which
should be announced later this year. Yogen Dalal, Claris' vice president of
product development, is the person credited with making this statement.
I can see Bill Atkinson cringing at the death of his child...

Just dandy. Pretty soon, MacDraw will be about as simple and easy to use as AutoCAD. Just my opinion, Jim Kweeder kweeder@sun.soe.clarkson.edu

The folks from MacUser seem to have misinterpreted Yogen's remarks at the Claris press conference at MacWorld. Yogen said that Claris would eventually include bitmap technology in future versions of MacDraw, but didn't specify when. While some may assume this is the demise of MacPaint, it certainly isn't true. Claris sees the need for an entry-level bitmap graphics program continuing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- David Roberts || claris!roberts@ames.arc.nasa.gov Claris Corporation || AppleLink: Roberts7 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just talked to some Claris reps at a seminar at UCLA the other day, and they were foaming at the mouth (justifiably) at MacAbuser. They told me ther are absolutely NO plans to stop the distribution of MacPaint, that the write misinterpreted what he was told. They mentioned that there was some talk of legal action against MacAbuser for lost sales revenue. Just thought y'all might like to know.
