" Thanks, " Jai Corley As far as I know 2.0a is the latest version. I use it all the time on 6.0.4 and don't recall any problems with 6.0.5 for the short time I used it. (I mean SuperPaint problems.) Did you try reloading from the master disk? That's one of my standard tricks if something is that bad. It was a long time ago, but it does seem to me that I had to ask for the 2.0a version because of some version of System 6. If you're using MultiFinder, be sure you haven't reduced its memory. It comes set with 700 K but to do more than one page you'll have to increase it. I use 1500. Hmmm, I wonder if more memory would speed it up when I have lots of objects on the draw layer.

I found that SuperPaint 2.0 was incompatible with 32-bit QuickDraw 1.2. I had to remove 32-bit QuickDraw from the System Folder before SuperPaint would run. If anyone is aware of an update to SuperPaint which eliminates this problem, please let me know. Kent -- + Kent A. Fuka | Director of Product Planning | Convex Computer Corp. + P.O.

I believe it is set to use superpaint routines as a default. You need to set it to Quickdraw. Take out Color QD before you do this so you can access preferences, and then reinstall it once the change is done. (I found this out after a call to Silicon Beach, and it was quite a while ago, so some of the details may be fuzzy - I can reconfirm if you have problems) This works on an SE/30 w/264 board and Sony 1304 Monitor. -Paul <egapmh@ecsvax>
