I've been waiting a long time for Bug fixes for MacDraw, and haven't seen diddly. So if Apple isn't fixing bugs, I can't imagine they are going to change file formats. It rather seems that MacDraw is an orphan (or at least disinherited). This is a shame, because it is really a nice program. Or do you know something we don't? > The PICT format option in MacDraw is there precisely to satisfy the > needs of people for transferring information out. In my opinion, the PICT format option in MacDraw is there so MacDraw can remember which fonts I used if I used one further down than 11 in the menu, or if I switch system disks. I don't use the MacDraw format for ANYTHING anymore. If only I'd figured this out before having used the program for a year. > -- > David Goldsmith > Apple Computer, Inc. > MacApp Group -- Steve Dorner dorner@uxc.cso.uiuc.edu
