This is the current version. An update (SuperPaint II) is scheduled for late
this year, and will be MacII and Color compatible.

>2. Ready Set Go. I have a version (1985,1986 3/SE) Any update news at all?

The current version is 4.0a, and it's a great program. I use it for
OtherRealms and all sort of other layout situations. 4.0a was released in
May.

I don't know about Sweden, but it's not typical in America. Especially these
two companies (Silicon Beach and Letraset) -- they're quite good at keeping
their customers informed on things. Not all software companies are quite
this good about it, of course... But there are some that inundate me with
paper....
