Long ago I wrote 'xpaint' which is a VERY crude version of MacPaint.  
It can draw lines, bitmapped text, and a couble of other things.  It
tends to be a bit slow, and has one or two bugs, but it is free and
available in the 'comp.sources.x' archives.

For those of you who actually know of this program, I've not yet
begun to work on "Version 2", since I've not had any copious free
time recently (even though I almost started it over the holidays).
