Well, I checked our copy here and SuperPaint 2.0 is 506K.  I do not remember
how big the original was but I believe it was around 280K.  The 100K growth
in MacWrite 5.0 was probably due to the inclusion of a dictionary.  According
to the manual SuperPaint 2.0 requires at least 1MB, System 6.0 or newer, and
the 128K ROM.

Apple seriously should have come out with the FDHD sooner, 800K is just not
enough now.
