     I've got a friend who has FullPaint.  (Version 1.0, I think.) It acts
differently on a Mac-Plus than it does on an SE.  I'm trying to help him debug
it so it will function properly on an SE.
     First, it runs fine, but you don't get to use a crucial part of the
program:  the bottom part of the vertical "Tools" palette that lets you make
the file you're editing take up the whole screen (or the whole screen minus
the menu bar.)  It just doesn't show up in the palette.
     I thought that they're probably just improperly checking ROM versions.
Well, they're definitely checking the ROM versions (with Environs).  I spent
about an hour and concluded that they're really doing something strange.  I
trapped when Environs was called (it's a Pascal-only routine, by the way) and
changed the result to that which would appear on a Plus.  It crashed.  Just to
make sure I wasn't doing something wrong, I also tried to get it to think it
was using 64K ROMs.  That time, it worked fine, but it was still missing the
full-screen options.  Perhaps they call ROM directly if they find out it's a
version $75 (Mac-Plus) ROM...
     Anybody know of a patch?
