Cricket Draw and Executor



Dear Jack and folks,

	Much work has been done on printing, and what we're running  
in the labs (which will be frozen as 1.2.1 soon) *does* support EPS  
under Word 5 (that is to say the EPS/TIFF/PICT translator that comes  
with Word 5 will read the EPS for inclusion in a file, and the EPS  
image will appear when you print the file).  We still don't have a  
copy of Cricket Draw to test under Executor, so I can't say how much  
of the bug fixes that are currently in place will fix problems with  
Cricket Draw.  However, Jack's calling of people at Computer  
Associates has resulted in them talking to us, and we are trying to  
convince them to give us free copies so we can take a look at them  
under Executor.

	We're hoping that our NeXTWORLD ad will make some waves and  
bring us enough credibility in ISVs eyes so that they can start  
ponying up free copies of software for us to test under Executor, but  
even if that doesn't work, the extra revenue, that should be  
generated starting in October, will give us more flexibility to buy  
that which isn't given to us.

	If you're already a customer of a software house, it doesn't  
hurt for you to call them up and suggest that they send software our  
way.  It's a shame that the Mac is such a tricky little bugger, but  
then again, if it weren't, I guess we would have competition.
