- First of all, I wish to thank all the folks at ARDI for a wonderful product! I just
- received my Executor license keys and am extremely happy. I've watched Executor grow
- since the b/w-only versions and man, has it gotten great! The 1.99q version even has
- sound support (WOW!), and lets me be productive when I'm running Linux, saving me the
- pain and embarrassment of having to reboot into DOS/Windoze when I have to use a good
- wordprocessor or whatnot.
-
- I'd also like to praise you for your great support and people. Everytime I've posted a
- question, comment, bug report, application compatibility report, etc., I've gotten
- quick, courteous responses from real humans, not those auto-responders that a lot of
- people are (sadly) switching to. I had to call you guys once, and you don't even have
- voice mail and I didn't get put on hold forever. Sure wish the rest of the world
- operated like you folks do!
-
- Now, on to my question. Is it possible to switch printing modes "on the fly"? What I
- mean is this: Normally, I have my Executor print directly to my PostScript printer.
- This makes sense, since I when I choose "print" I usually mean to print something.
- HOWEVER, sometimes I'd like to generate a Postscript file -- for example, when I want
- to FAX my resume to a prospective employer, I have to generate a PostScript file which
- I can then send through the Hylafax program (which expects PostScript files on input).
- I have to do this by quitting Executor (thus interrupting my work, etc.) and running it
- with the "-printer" switch to tell it to print to a file. It would be nice to be able
- to do this while running Executor, either by a configuration option, a hot-key, or a
- holding down a special key while choosing the "Print" command (say, if you hold down
- Clover-LeftShift while choosing Print, it'll print to a file).
-
- I primarily need this feature in the Linux version fo Executor, however it might be
- useful for the DOS folks too(?).
-
- Is this possible? If not, is it feasible enough to add this feature? Please let me
- know. Thanks!
