- I just set up 1.99m here - looks really good so far. This is
- almost ready for "prime time" so to speak, in my opinion.
-
- About the video speed - when animation is off, things seem
- smoother now than they did under 1.99k. Did the 4-dirty-rect code make
- it in here or something? Whatever was done seemed to improve things.
-
- I like the new background, too.
-
- Most of what follows is nitpicking/bug reports... things which
- ALMOST work, but still need a little bit more work done. These are much
- better than 1.99k though.
-
- PageMaker 4.2 ALMOST works for me. The one major problem right
- now is that File/Place dosen't work, reporting "unknown file type" This
- is a pretty old bug. I think it's becuase it's running some checks on
- each file, and the filesystem code has some sort of a bug in it which
- dosen't report what Pagemaker needs.
-
- Running Executor/Linux under XF86_Mono is much closer now too.
- The only problems is that the background turns into a semi-randomish dot
- pattern (this happens in -bpp 1 too), and the mouse cursor is inverted.
-
- I haven't tested printing yet.
-
- In general, 1.99m + a few bug fixes + a couple of minor features
- mentioned by Cliff (formatting disks) + the hack-a-thon + one/two last
- debugging release(s) should be 2.0. I can really feel it getting much closer
- now... keep it up!

- P.S. Cliff - which company were you signing papers for anyway?
