- I guess it all depends on how rich you are, if having to buy a
- postscript printer to get decent output doesn't pose a problem, or you
- don't mind sending out your resume with absolutely no white space
- between lines, then it's not a stopper. My options were to find a way
- around or convert the system back to DOS, so I found a hack for now, but
- it's so inconvenient that I am going to roll back to 2.4.1 this weekend.
- It's a stopper if you need the features that don't work.
