Quickdraw GX was developed by Apple as a comprehensive font, graphics, printing, and display technology. For example, Desktop Printing was originally introduced as part of Quickdraw GX. I believe that support for GX printing ended when OS8 came out (special printer drivers were needed to support GX printing in OS7.X), but other parts of the technology carried forward. Some of these probably eventually became part of the OS. Unless you have a program that requires GX, or was written to take advantage of it when present, you really don't need it. jim -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
