Well, I solved my own problem -- I saved the document in MacDrawII as a PICT2 file, opened it up again, printed it, and everything came out (nearly) aligned. The alignment was better if I opened and printed the PICT2 file in SuperPaint, but my curves came out unsmoothed. Lydia Gregoret gregoret@cgl.ucsf.edu gregoret@UCSFCGL ...ucbvax!ucsfcgl!gregoret
