    A friend w/out net access wished me to post this question to the net:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is there any way to convert .GIF files to Macpaint files?  I am using the 
Backdrop INIT, and I wish to use certain .GIF files as background screens. But
Backdrop only allows Macpaint files!?!  So, is there an application to convert
between the two?  

-----------------------------------------

I also have my own question:  when using the Control Panel Document Cursor-
Animator , I have changed the waiting cursor to the finger-counting type, but
the old watch-type keeps coming back during certain time (a majority of the 
time)  My setup is a simple SE, 1mb RAM, 20mb HD.

Thanx in advance for any replys
