- printing is fully functional. everything is fully functional, you are
- just limited to 10 min of use.
-
- as for the installer, if you read some of the earlier threads in the
- group you'll see that many installers don't work with executor while
- others work just fine.
-
- my system: linux 1.3.57, executor/ELF/X-win
-
- i regularily use Word 5.0a under executor and have no problems
- printing except with some fonts and with very small point sizes with
- others. i'm guessing this is a postscript error of some kind.
-
- i should add that i don't use any filters for printing. i'm connected
- to our LAN via ethernet and print via a server to a postscript
- printer.
