- I agree. The biggest shortcoming that I now have with Executor is the
- inability to print nicely all those nifty wordprocessing & spreadsheet
- apps that I can create with my emulated Mac applications.
- I too primarily run Linux and use Linux as my way of getting good
- WYSIWYG apps to run under Linux without having to shut down my unix
- system and start up M$WinDoze.
-
- The only weak link for me is the printing. I still must either shut
- down, boot Windoze and print under the Windoze version or I must boot
- up my old Mac+, transfer the files over a slow null modem serial link
- and then wait interminably for the applications to boot & print on my
- mac+.
-
- So, for my purposes at least, better PostScript printing is a very
- high priority.
