Thanks, Bruce. I wish it would work for me... Unfortunately this doesn't work with OS9.2. I had to drag the app to the MacDrawDisc icon, not the .img icon.
as I said; "Drag your MacDraw Pro folder to the disk MacDrawDisk on the desktop."
If I try clicking on the .img I get a window flashing on & off once, with the message "Mounting disk MacDrawDisc.img". I had to click repeatedly to flash the window rapidly enough to be able to read it!
Ok, let me see if I can clarify. A disk image (the .img file) is a file that when opened by Disk Copy fools the system into thinking that it is another mounted disk drive. For all intents and purposes it can be treated like one. It appears on your desktop like one, you can drag files to and from it, you can even reformat it.
Once you've opened the file (by double-clicking on the .img file) ignore the .img file. If you drag the "disk" off to the trash or shut down, to access the "disk" again, you need to double-click on the .img file again. You can't save things on your "disk" by dragging files to the .img file.
And once done, both MacDraw II & Pro cannot save more than once, so remain useless. I cannot even try them in OS10.2.8 because there is no 256 colors monitor option on my Mac.
My system is set to millions of colors, and MacDraw Pro 1.5 (the exact version I have) works perfectly under 9.2.1 (the version I have installed) with this scheme, as it does for others here. <http:// dbdev2.pharmacy.arizona.edu/miscjunk/mdp_osx.jpg>
