- Beta1 has a new command line switch "-pagesize" that you can use to
- specify alternates to standard "Letter" (portrait) sizes. You specify
- the number of points (72 to an inch) you want across and up and down
- with the letter 'x' in between them. To get rotated Letter sized
- output the values you'd want would be (11 * 72) = 792 and (8.5 * 72) =
- 612, so the command line would be:
-
- executor -pagesize 792x612
-
- This means that you need to quit Executor and restart every time you
- want to change the page layout. It's awkward, but it's better than
- nothing.
