Cricket Draw and Executor
Dear Jack and folks,
Much work has been done on printing, and what we're running
in the labs (which will be frozen as 1.2.1 soon) *does* support EPS
under Word 5 (that is to say the EPS/TIFF/PICT translator that comes
with Word 5 will read the EPS for inclusion in a file, and the EPS
image will appear when you print the file). We still don't have a
copy of Cricket Draw to test under Executor, so I can't say how much
of the bug fixes that are currently in place will fix problems with
Cricket Draw. However, Jack's calling of people at Computer
Associates has resulted in them talking to us, and we are trying to
convince them to give us free copies so we can take a look at them
under Executor.
We're hoping that our NeXTWORLD ad will make some waves and
bring us enough credibility in ISVs eyes so that they can start
ponying up free copies of software for us to test under Executor, but
even if that doesn't work, the extra revenue, that should be
generated starting in October, will give us more flexibility to buy
that which isn't given to us.
If you're already a customer of a software house, it doesn't
hurt for you to call them up and suggest that they send software our
way. It's a shame that the Mac is such a tricky little bugger, but
then again, if it weren't, I guess we would have competition.
