-
- You can now user "-pagesize" to tell Executor to create PostScript for
- alternate paper sizes:
-
- -pagesize a4
-
- will tell Executor that the final output device will be using "A4"
- sized paper. In addition to a4 you can also use "letter", "tabloid",
- "ledger", "legal", "executive", "a3", "a5", "b4" or "b5".
-
- If none of those is what you want you can specify, in points (72
- points to an inch), an arbitrary size:
-
- -pagesize 200x300
-
- will give you a page that's 200 points wide and 300 points tall. You
- can use this to tell Executor to print in landscape mode, for instance
- to get landscape letter you could use:
-
- -pagesize 792x612
-
- This says the dimentions of the paper are 11 inches by 8.5 inches,
- i.e. letter sized, but rotated 90 degrees.
-
- We're aware that this is a sub-optimal solution for printing and that
- eventually the paper size and orientation should be something that you
- can adjust using "Page Setup", but this allowed us to quickly get
- something into our existing customers' hands so that they can test and
- make sure that the PostScript we're now producing is correct; we can
- worry about the user interface later.
-
- The official beta1 announcement will be out fairly soon. It will
- document this feature and mention some of the bugs that were fixed in
- beta1.

-
- You should probably just extract "System Folder:Browser" and use that.
- Some other things have changed in the System Folder and you might have
- problems if you mix and match the System file (specifically the
- Preferences panel might not work properly).
