You were misinformed.  In the letter I received along with the
2.0a update, Cindy Taylor of Silicon Beach Software Technical
Support states "As I promised, enclosed is a new version
of SuperPaint which works with the LaserWriter Driver 6.0.  It
also fixes the problem where filled polygons grow upon saving
and reopening a document."  So there clearly was more to the
2.0a update than fixing the LW 6.0 incompatabilities.  And,
while I never pinned the problem down, I found that the
unexplained crashes upon saving a document in SuperPaint did
not occur after I started using version 2.0a.
