- I got Email from Meaghan Hogan, the product manager for Virtuoso. Altsys
- doesn't have access yet to comp.sys.next.whatever, so she asked me to post
- this for them. Apparently they have found and fixed the color problems.

- Please post the following message for me. I really appreciate your help!

- Virtuoso was released as a NeXTSTEP 2.x app, and we didn't include any
- 3.0-specific features besides pressure sensitive tablet support in the
- initial release. After shipping the product, we received feedback about the
- printing issue, and we have immediately responded by adding 3.0 color support
- to Virtuoso. We are currently testing this version, and we will notify all
- registered users when it is ready.
-
- With this feature now added, Virtuoso is ideal for NeXTSTEP 2 and 3 users.
- Other 3.0-specific features will be added soon, but we do not have a definite
- release date for this version yet.
-
- Thanks for the feedback, and if you would like to send additional comments,
- you can also forward them to me directly:
