I got this info from Silicon Beach a while ago, and I thought some of you out
there maight be interested.

Here is a list of some of the new features to SuperPaint 2.0

	- AutoTrace (automatic tracing of bitmapped images in the Paint layer
	  to create true objects in the Draw layer
	- Bezier curves
	- Multigon tool which creates equilateral polygons with any number of
	  sides
	- Expandable paint palette (custom tools can be programmed and will
	  automatically be integrated into the tool palette
	- the ability to add commands to the paint menu
	- New "air brush"
	- Free rotation of objects and text in the Draw layer
	- Multiple draw layers
	- graphics libraries that allow you to define shapes and store them as
	  objects to a floating palette for easy retrieval
	- Color preview on a Mac II (SuperPaint 2.0 remains a black & white
	  editor but includes a Preview option to display color assigned to
	  objects
	- The ability to mix fonts, styles, and sizes in blocks of text
	- A new file format -- LaserBits in now one big page
	- Page size is not restricted to 8 x 10, but is memory dependent
	  (relevant to LaserBits)
	- Support for the TIFF format
