We just got a Summagraphics graphics pad.  It is quite nice, but I
have one question: is there any way to truely take advantage of the
1000dpi resolution of such pads?

It seems top me that most software limits you to the screen resolution
of 72dpi.  That is, no matter how far you are zoomed in, you can only
move lines, etc., a pixel at a time.  So, it seems to me that my pad
may be getting 1000dpi, but my drawing package is seeing that rounded
to 72dpi.  Is this true?  Can anything be done about it?
