I use MAZ on my Apple monitor with a vanilla Mac II, (8 bit color) and it displays more of the desktop on my system. It displays a desktop that is about 70 pixels higher and 50 pixels wider (sorry I don't have my mac handy to give the exact number, but I know its 7xx by 6xx). You just adjust the height and width on the monitor so the whole image is displayed on the screen. A 1" square in MacDraw becomes smaller, not larger. By the way, I've been using MAZ 1.2 for 10 months and think its great. I can get almost a full page on the screen. I have never had any compatibility problems and would never go back to the normal desktop.
