Some questions about software updates.

1. Superpaint. I have a version (1986 1.0/SE) that doesn't support more then 2
bit screen mapping. If I use the MacII colour screen in 256 bit mode I get four
small windows on the upper part of the screen with a lot of garbage in them (no
picture). Not satisfactory at all. The problem is fixed if you turn your screen
to 2 bit mode but I want colours. What is the latest version? Is it MacII
compatible? What else has been added/changed?

2. Ready Set Go. I have a version (1985,1986 3/SE) Any update news at all?
Or is this software totally dead compared to PageMaker and Xpress?

I have purchased a number of common programs from various Swedish sources, and
always posted my registration papers, but NEVER got ANY updates. Is this
unusual? Does any one else in Sweden or AnyWhere recognise this problem? From
what I have seen in this newsgroup, not all are satisfied with the update
deliveries. I most certainly am NOT. Do better, all you software companies that
read this.
