Does anyone have a list of what programs support color on the Mac 2? Also, I saw a color version of billiards... I wonder if anyone could tell me where to get it? (Looked really nice!). ..........................................................................

>Does anyone have a list of what programs support color on the Mac 2? Also, I >saw a color version of billiards... I wonder if anyone could tell me where to >get it? (Looked really nice!). _____ Let's see: Canvas, SmartcomII, Colorizer, ATG stuff, Greyview, several public domain demos, and yes, that nifty billiards demo. There are new versions of many of the many paint programs which are due out soon that will support color, anyone know if any were released yet? The Billiards demo was done by the Reed Institute, and the about box said it was to be released as a product in SPRING of 1987! I never saw it, or would have bought it. After the MacWorld expo in Jan, I expect lots of color stuff to be floating around. -------------------- Ken Wallich *My views are mine, and mine alone* Consultant "Slimey?

I believe it was from Southworth, or whichever company produces MIDI Paint. This program (can't remember the name exactly. Maybe "One Step"?) was a cheap sequencer program that apparently was a simplified version of MIDI Paint for people who didn't need something so powerful (or expensive :-) Anyway, it was running on a Mac II and was using color for various things. It looked nice. It might be reasonable to assume that there is also now a version of MIDI Paint available in color for the Mac II, but I can't say for sure. Sorry to be so vague, but my memory is failing me nowadays. Anyone doing MIDI on their Mac should be able to confirm all this stuff. /+--_--------------------------------------+----------------------+ ||-/-\:-- Neil Weinstock ------------------|- ...!codas!cord!nsw -| < |---/--- AT&T Bell Labs, Liberty Corner --|---------- or --------| ||--/---- DISCLAIMER: blah blah, etc. -----|-- nsw@cord.att.com --| \+-----------------------------------------+----------------------+

The Deskview program posted to the net looks nice, but where do we get the color picts to run with it? The message that comes up if you don't have a startup screen has a small color picture with some colored reflecting balls. It would be nice to have it as a full screen version. Giffer has some color files, but I can't seem to get them into a format readable by Deskview. The local dealers seem to be too busy to see if they have any color picts unless you are planning to buy a machine from them. Are there any ftpable picts anywhere?
