What version of the software are you using? We've used DeltaGraph 1.5 on II's,
IIx's, and IIsi's and have seen none of the problems you describe. No crashes,
no (unexplainable) out of memory conditions, no problems with color.
Things print just fine to  our LaserWriters, DeskWriter, and PaintWriter.
The only bug we've seen so far is that DG botches rotated text. Rotated text
prints at 72 dpi regardless of the destination printer. Fix for this is to
export as PICT and print in MacDraw II. And I agree, the inability to open
more than one file is an extreme annoyance. As is the (apparent) inability to
do multiple imports into the same page. BTW, we're running under 6.0.7
with a wide variety of INIT's.
