- Printing is indeed a very high priority over here. I should have made
- that a bit more explicit in my big Policy post. There probably won't
- be many advances in printing between now and when E2 is released but
- the code restructuring that we'll be doing after E2 and the native
- ports to Win32 and OS/2 will allow us to have a *much* better printing
- subsystem.
