Hi!

I have a problem that I try to resolve for months now. Maybe you can 
help me.

I am using a Macintosh with system 7.1 and THINK C 6.0.

I have to print lines thinner than 1 point (e.g. hairlines). But the 
QuickDraw-command PenSize allows only integer values, the thinnest 
possible is PenSize(1).

So I scaled the document by using PrOpenPage. Now I managed it to get 
thin lines. But my application, which normally needs less then 1MB, 
suddenly needed more then 5MB of memory. Especially when printing on 
a laser-printer with many fonts. Another problem is that this 
solution didn´t function with each print-manager.

So I simulated the lines by using special characters with a 
2 point-font. But this solution is very, very slow and I can only draw 
vertical and horizontal lines.

Can you help me?
