Unfortunately, we've had reports of some PostScript printers not
working with the PostScript, either. Working on the PostScript that
printing produces is still ongoing, it's not clear if there will be
dramatic improvements in 1.99n.

We have Word 5.0 over here but it's not installed right now. With
Word 5.1, we are able to create documents and print them from Word.

Actually, we *will* be working on it; right now there are other 1.99n
issues pressing us hard. I hate admitting that we can't do everything
at once, but there are only four full-time engineers working on
Executor right now, and last month there were only three.
