While this may be true, I would not put it past Apple to sue anyway in an
attempt to harass or delay Commodore if they feel like it. (which they
periodically seem to).  However, I think EA could sue apple for copying the
outlined/filled circle/ellipse/box/etc. gadgets out of DPaint and using
them in the draw program for Mac II.  I saw them demonstrate these *new* 
features at Comdex with a chuckle of how neat they were.  (see!, click on
this side and you get a filled box, on this side and you get an outline
box, yuk,yuk, ain't that neat!).
