- I have recently tried MacDraw Pro under q8 and found the same color
- pattern appear that Stephen describes above for Intellidraw
- when I tried to resize the screen larger with the buton in the
- lower right of the window. Also found a second copy of the stuff
- at the left of the window, in the expanded area of the window rather
- than more of the drawing as should be there. On my machine I can't
- reliably start MacDraw II or MacDraw Pro more than once in any
- Executor q8 session. If I try, Executor crashes back to DOS or hangs
- the machine.
-
- I am getting very solid (though not absolutely perfect) performance
