PixelPaint Professional 3.2?

In the 80's SuperMac had produced a program called PixelPaint which was a fully packed and powerful, simple Paint program which I have not found it's equal in all these years. I purchased it for several hundred dollars and it came on a couple of 3.5" floppy's and had multiple spiral bound manuals. I bought the original 1.0 version, upgraded to 2.0 at a discount and finally to 2.2. The company folded and the program was continued via Pixel Resources then I think finally Adobe got a hold of it and killed it off after version 3.2. I had never gotten a chance to try the 3.x versions and despite MacWorld and MacUser's less than stellar review when it came out. All I know is I loved the program, it worked perfectly with my (very expensive at the time) Wacom pressure sensitive stylus which I still have. I have been able to find version 2.2 still around over the years which I still of course own. I have NEVER been able to find any of the 3.x versions. To my knowledge 3.2 was the last version available. I am pretty sure it would be considered "abandonedware" at this point and I would greatly appreciate anyone that could get it for me. Version 2.2 will only run on the 68k macs and crashes on any Powermac. My 10 year old son is fascinated by paint programs and the stylus and he would love to be able to get his hands on it too. Thank you in advance for anyone that could possibly help.

The only version I had been able to locate was version 2.1 (which I uploaded awhile ago, available here: http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/pixel-paint-21). Pixel Paint is a good piece of software. Good luck.

Yeah, that's what I have come to find myself.....hopefully someone has 3.x sitting collecting dust somewhere and would be willing to upload it. I'll see if I can dig up the 2.2 version along with the Pixel Paper disc that came with it and upload that. Thank you for your response!
