MacPaste Update Scratch Pad


         MacPaste is now up to version 2.10.  It now has erase, flop, squeeze,
     and fill functions; I have changed the way the picture is stored in 
     memory; sped the help function up considerably; changed clippings to 
     memory storage instead of disk; the manual is a bit more complete;
     there are cut and truncate functions; there is a scroll and stop feature;
     a quick cursor move; a line drawing function; a paint function; a text 
     line function; cursor on/off toggle; a more organized screen; "squish" has
     been sped up slightly; "flip" is a bit quicker; minor help is on the main
     screen; different methods of "put" are available; annoying screen mode
     changes have been minimized; screen movement is possible in magnify; the
     screen now scrolls with the crosshairs; print ability is in; you can 
     start the program with a blank picture; printer definition is possible 
     (changes are made to the program code itself);  and a few other little 
     changes.  A few annoying little bugs have been removed and some 
     annoying sounds added.
         That slightly readable mouthful was the first big overhaul for
     MacPaste.  A few more changes have been added.  One such change is the
     ability to delete lines anywhere in the picture.
         Well after about a year of being on the PC-SIG response has been
     mild, so no major revisions have been added yet.  I would still like
     to add in conversion from other formats.  With the onslaught of EGA and
     VGA pictures, I can see why MacPaste is not experiencing a great 
     reaction.
         However, a few people have written to me with their suggestions and
     comments.  To those people I say THANK YOU.  Let me end this note with
     my short list of contributors:
