I'm running Illustrator 88 version 1.6 on MAC IIx (System 6.0.2). IAll colors in Paint/Preview \in Paint/Preview/Preferences apperear as dithered patterns. This occurs even when trashing the preferences file in system foldert. (inicidently , I've experienced color probnlems when trying to rtun Canvas 2.0 (version 2,0) on the IIx.) The problem appers to be a bug in the way the software is accessing the IIx's quickdraw (color). When will a fix be available? Are you/anyone aware of of this problem ??

Ian, I'm not in any way connected with Adobe other than beta testing Illustrator 88 for them. What you describe is not a problem. Illustrator 88 is ONLY capable of displaying dithered colors that approximate PMS or Process selections. Regards, Bruce Carillon

}iThe problem is NOT that the colours are dithered but rather that NO color is displayed. There is ONLY a B&W dithered pattern! Furthermore when creating a custome{_ color NO color is displayed on a monitor, e.g. 100% cyand (or any other color) is not cuyan but rather a B&W dithered image. This occurs only when running Illustrator 88 on a _Mac IIx_ on a Mac II it works _perfectly. The monitors are Apple color m}ionitor with Apple's display card and the 8 bit extension. The other moitor is a raster ops 108 board. The exact problem occurs with both monitors but ONLY when running Illustrator 88 on a _Mac IIx_. Canm anyone help?
