========================================================================

I think I've asked some of these questions before, but now that it
seems there are more people paying attention, I'll try again:

1) I have a copy of MACPIX (Rainbow program to display Mac graphics),
but it only reads the Mac files that were supplied with it.  It chokes
on any other Mac pictures that I pick up from BBS's.  Could someone
with some Mac experience explain to me what the file format difference
is?  Is there any way I can display the "other" Mac format with MACPIX?

2) I also have a copy of XPRESS.  Does anyone know if this will work
with a serial mouse?  It looks like that would be the best way to use
it, but I don't want to shell out for a mouse until I'm sure.

Thanks in advance for any info!
