The color representation in the dialogs is off, and the preview ofan illustration uses black and white only. The problem seems to be that Illustrator 88 checks the machine type for a Mac II, rather than checking for the existence of Color Quickdraw. This means color won't work on the Mac SE/30 either. It looks to be easy to patch the software for a particular machine, because it calls SysEnvirons to get the machine type. -- Larry Rosenstein, Object Specialist Apple Computer, Inc. 20525 Mariani Ave, MS 46-B Cupertino, CA 95014 AppleLink:Rosenstein1 domain:lsr@Apple.COM UUCP:{sun,voder,nsc,decwrl}!apple!lsr
