Jerald, According to the press, Apple did buy non-exclusive rights to QuickerDraw (or QuickerGraf) and it will be included in the new System release (which was originally scheduled for March). QuickerGraf is useless, though, in any mode other than 8 bit per pixel mode on a Mac II. I'm convinced that QuickDraw is long due for a major overhaul, but I'm not (yet) convinced that Display PostScript is the answer. It _looked_ nice, but a bit slow, in the canned demo's I've seen, but I've yet to see it run on a released package and I'll reserve judgement until then. Maybe when the NEXT machine is released… -Biff-
