- Aha!! I really want to use SuperPaint, too. I just tried V. 2.0. under
- E1.99Q12. It warned me that the app was not 32-bit clean and might not
- work at all...and then went on to work pretty darn good. Until...I tried
- to type text in the draw mode. Then it crashed with the following dump:
-
- eax=5f80001b ebx=00000000 ecx=00087768 edx=00000000 esi=00000000 edi=00000000

- I should add, too, that the line width part of the draw palette is
- slightly skewed. Otherwise, it seems to work quite well. I tried it
- again, and was able to type text in the paint mode, and in fact, cut/copy
- that text to the draw mode. But when I tried to type text in draw mode
- again, it created a huge(like, down to the bottom of the page!) rectangular
- text frame, and wouldn't give me a stable cursor. Didn't crash again,
- though, although it looked for a few moments like it wanted to. I thought
- perhaps if I upgraded to 3.x I might be more successful, but now, dunno.
-
- Any guesses on the prognosis for this app?
