Opening Superpaint Files

[thorstenlemke]

Hello,just e-mail zipped to lemke@lemkesoft.deThorsten Thorsten,I can provide some Superpaint files. Where would you like me to send them?The rgshoup.com reference isn’t really related, apparently. There’s a note at the bottom of that page that says:Note: This system is not related to the popular "SuperPaint" software program developed and sold by Aldus some years later. Only the name is the same.Ralph

Thorsten,I don’t have any Superpaint file format details, but I did find that the drawing module of LibreOffice will open Superpaint files when they are dragged onto the LibreOffice icon, and save them as .odg files. From LibreOffice, I could copy contents and open it as a new file in preview, then save that as a png or pdf file. The pngs seemed to be bitmaps, but the pdfs could contain vector text and drawings.The files that I sent you earlier that you said weren’t Superpaint files opened in this manner, so apparently they were Superpaint files despite the lack of type or creator codes.

The details was never published on the internet (only MacDraw 1).So, I was not able to implement an importer.Please contact me if you find any file format details.
