- Dear Jack and folks,
-
- Much work has been done on printing, and what we're running
- in the labs (which will be frozen as 1.2.1 soon) *does* support EPS
- under Word 5 (that is to say the EPS/TIFF/PICT translator that comes
- with Word 5 will read the EPS for inclusion in a file, and the EPS
- image will appear when you print the file). We still don't have a
- copy of Cricket Draw to test under Executor, so I can't say how much
- of the bug fixes that are currently in place will fix problems with
- Cricket Draw. However, Jack's calling of people at Computer
- Associates has resulted in them talking to us, and we are trying to
- convince them to give us free copies so we can take a look at them
- under Executor.
-
- We're hoping that our NeXTWORLD ad will make some waves and
- bring us enough credibility in ISVs eyes so that they can start
- ponying up free copies of software for us to test under Executor, but
- even if that doesn't work, the extra revenue, that should be
- generated starting in October, will give us more flexibility to buy
- that which isn't given to us.
-
- If you're already a customer of a software house, it doesn't
- hurt for you to call them up and suggest that they send software our
- way. It's a shame that the Mac is such a tricky little bugger, but
- then again, if it weren't, I guess we would have competition.
