Folks,

I've got two questions:

I have a problem with SuperPaint v1.1 on my Mac SE running System 6.0.2
MultiFinder.  Whenever I take a graphic that is LARGER THAN SuperPaint's
default window size, copy it to the clipboard, and paste it back into a new,
untitled SuperPaint window, the top 10-15% of the graphic disappears!  This
DOES NOT happen with any other painting program I have tried.  I have called
and written Silicon Beach about this and have gotten essentially zero response. 
Has anyone else seen this problem?  I hate to burden Silicon Beach any further
with my business, so I'm looking for a replacement, which leads to my second
question...

I recently got hold of the Canvas v2.0 DEMO, and it looks really nice.  Not to
mention the fact that the above graphic pasting problem does not occur!  Does
anyone out there use Canvas, and can you comment on it?  Do you love it?  Hate
it?  What's good, what's bad?  What does it REALLY require under MultiFinder? 
It wants 1500K !, but I kicked it down to 520K, and it worked.  Please mail me,
as I'm probably going to buy this program.

As always, thank you!

Rich
