Re: Two Questions



Hi Pierre,

greater than 8 bpp will have to wait until after Executor 2.0 ships.   
To support 24 bpp shouldn't be too hard, but our graphics guru may be  
assigned to the "System 7.5 drop-in" project, so I can't really say  
when after 2.0 we'll go for > 8bpp.

Printing from Executor works under Executor/NEXTSTEP but isn't  
particularly supported under Linux or DOS right now.  I'll try to get  
that support going soon.  Most of it is there already, but we had  
other fires to fight (the preparation of our 2.0 TODO list and the  
creation of "Appendix A") that have kept me away from that task of  
late.

I have 2 questions for the developer's team of Executor.

1- Will Executor support 24bpp soon or later?  or something else than 

   8bpp?  If so, before next summer?

2- How can we print from Executor?  and even more important, how does  
it 

   work?  Who handles the job (the print manager AND/OR LPD under  
Linux)? 


Thanks a lot,
Pierre B.
