        No, not as far as I know. Platinum Paint has been at version 2.01
for several years now, and there were no plans for future updates (in fact
this pretty much applies to _all_ SQC's Apple II software). I'm still using
version 2.00 though I haven't a clue what changed in that (x.01) bug-fix 
release. Anyone here know?

        Another bug I just came across recently (among countless others)
is pasting large images from the clipboard. For some reason anything larger
than the window your using is chopped! When it's first pasted with the moving
square marquee outline around the image, it's fine. As soon as you click the
mouse button to paste it in though the rest of the image disappears! (scrolling
anywhere outside the window). I wanted to simply "glue" together two halfs
of an image I created with my Quickie scanner but it won't do it!
