Here I am backing to summarise the results. It will not be very difficult
since almost everybody has the same opinions.

I've received many opinions from Pros and from amateurs. Generally all
agreed that working with DrawII and SuperPaint together isn't actually
the best choice. Much of the opinions where from Canvas users that where
experienced with DrawII and SuperPaint as well, and they all agreed that
I should see and then purchase Canvas last version 3.04.

They have also pointed some cons on hardware conditions. It looks that
one of Canvas problems is to be a little heavy so they recommended the
use of SE/30 or faster machines.
They've numbered many good reasons and advantages of using Canvas.

Some of the professional users have talked about programs like Adobe
Illustrator but, in cases like mine, were we don't use these kind of
programs to treat complex images, there isn't necessary to use so
specific programs because that creates a complicated necessity: to give
users formation about it. My users community likes to get in on a program
easy to understand without any design/graphical education.

So the conclusion seems to be that Canvas replaces the use of both DrawII
and SPaint programs (without taking value to both, of course!).

I'd like to sorry if I'm offending anyone or any product but is my
intention just to resume all opinions I've got from Mac Users of this
group. So *my opinion* as no commercial proposes just self elucidation.
If any doubts come to your mind I can e-mail you a compilation of the
many user mails I've received.
