- [Large variety of changes for 3.0i. None of them include
- making ordinary, boring, normal text work right.]
-
- I just want to know one thing.
-
- DO YOU EVER HAVE ANY INTENTION WHATSOEVER OF MAKING TEXT WORK
- RIGHT ALL THE TIME OR NOT?
-
- Any intention?
-
- Ever?
-
- Am I going to be able to rotate text in 3.0i? It's not in
- your already-fixed patch list. It's not in your "to-do" list for
- that patch level. You guys acknowledge it was still a bug back
- before 3.0g came out. I sent you repro files.
-
- I've waited through NINE patch levels of something I was
- NOT informed was a "Beta" in order to do SIMPLE TEXT MANIPULATION.
- Something most modern WORD PROCESSORS can handle.
-
- You know?
-
- Printing? Blocks of text? In text objects?
-
- Pretty much the first functionality set you would have
- implemented?
-
- And a fix isn't listed for the 10th patch level, either.
-
- Is anybody even _working_ on this? I don't think so.
-
- Tell me now. I've been telling myself that I'll wait for
- 3.0i. Or 3.1. But my latest round of warfare with your software,
- where I spent more than twice as long failing(!) to get the tool
- (your product) to work than I spent on the project in question
- has pretty much convinced me otherwise.
-
- "3-4 months" for another patch set that I don't even think
- will bother to include a fix is too long now; I've got a major
- project that can't wait for that (due April 4) and which is
- COMPLETELY BLOCKED on your company's apparent complete inability
- to delivery basic software functionality. I can't diddle around
- anymore. Give me an answer. I go shopping for Macintosh software
- tomorrow.
