     In David Small's latest newsletter (Number Two), he offers a hint in
working with start up screens for the Spectre 128.  Since Mac's StartUpScreen
causes a crash, he says to use a program called BACKDROP.
     From LISTSERV@RICE, I was able to download a file called BACKDROP which
included a set of instructions.  In it, we are told to create a SCREENS folder
and to place that, along with a StartUpScreen file, into the System Folder.
     By placing several StartUpScreens within the Screens folder, we can have
random startup pictures, ala SuperBoot!
     However, I'm not having any luck.  I get a garbaged picture for the
startup picture.  Has anyone else running Spectre experienced this and managed
to massage a fix?   Many thanks!
