MacDraw Bug? or Old ROMs?
I was using the smooth function under MacDraw 1.7 to smooth a
curve and then proceeded to send it to the LaserwriterPlus. The
result was a Bomb id=2 error (this was repeatable).
Equipment and Versions: FatMac (old Roms), MacDraw 1.7, Finder
5.3, System 3.2, laserPrep and LaserWriter 3.2, and
LaserwriterPlus.
I then replaced the system, finder, MacDraw, and the Laserwriter
Drivers; still the bug persists.
Is this the fault of MacDraw or the old ROMs or something I have
not even thought about?
The drawing only contained a few drawn curves and could be
produced using a enhanced Mac and a MacPlus.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This bug seems to have appeared with the LaserWriter 3.1 nad LaserPrep 3.1 files. I don't know if it occurs on a MacPlus but does occur for sure on a 512 with old ROMS. I'm sure you have a typo above since the LaserWriter and LaserPrep files released by Apple are only up to version 3.1.
