Subject: Macintosh Graphics FAQ v2
This is a slightly revised version of my graphics FAQ for Mac computers,
questions that I keep seeing because people keep asking. Hopefully if they
look for answers before they ask the same old questions, they'll find my
FAQ and life will be just peachy. This version that I'm uploading is in
DocMaker format, and looks almost as nice as the web page version (which
is):
http://www.redshift.com/~surfvh/X/MacGraphicsFAQ.html
I picked docmaker as the format because you can select and drag the URLs
out of the window and into a browser or download program. That's nicer than
using a smaller format that doesn't allow that, binhexing a SimpleText file
seems silly, and raw text (resource fork stripped) doesn't look as nice...
Plus I just needed some reason to download the new version of docmaker. So
hopefully you'll find out something from this FAQ.
