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.
