I recently got a 19" Sony monitor from Supermac for my Mac II which I like very much but I have a small problem with the Backdrop INIT that I didn't have with the Apple color monitor. First let me say that I know Backdrop does not put a picture in the background permanently like it did on the Mac Plus. I use it just to display one of a random set of MacPaint files on startup. I like this better than trying to convert all my MacPaint files to PICT 0 resources so they can be put into the StartUpScreen file. The problem is that the pictures are displayed scrunched in the vertical direction which makes them less than desireable to look at. When I use the Backdrop DA to View the files, they display correctly. I've tried this on other Mac II systems with 19" and 16" Supermac monitors and they do the same thing. Does anyone have any idea why this happens? George Pavel Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory P.O.
