Thoughts on 1.99m/Linux



Well, it's a great improvement over 1.99k!  It's great to have the 
Browser under Linux!  It's also good to have 1 bit per pixel 
working well.  For some applications I find this preferable to 
colour.

The FoxBASE file not found error that I reported for 1.99k is still
there (not really a surprise).  I can't load any FoxBASE files.  If 
there's any debug options I should try please let me know!

Thanks for the -help option... now I know what some of the 
Linux-specific options do!  -synchronous is pretty useful for some 
things.

Printing I have only tried once, and it broke.  :-(  I tried printing 
a Word 5.0 document.   The PostScript output by Executor is broken, 
somehow.  Aladdin GhostScript 3.12 says:

Warning: failed to allocate 5x5x5 RGB cube.
Warning: failed to allocate 4x4x4 RGB cube.
Warning: failed to allocate 3x3x3 RGB cube.
Error: /undefined in FALSE
Operand stack:
    --nostringval--  _MACTimes-BoldItalic  --dict:11/13--  true  --nostringval--

Dictionary stack:
    --dict:579/631--  --dict:0/20--  --dict:45/200--
Current allocation mode is local
Current file position is 3887

I am hardly a PostScript expert, so anyone got any ideas?

And another printing thing... how can I change the paper size?  
Letter output looks awful on A4 paper.
