- Some of you might remember an INIT I have been working on. Well, you
- are not free of me yet. I am doing some synchronous NBP lookups from
- within a _PRGlue patch. (I only want to tamper with the print dialog
- if we are aiming at a printer which has special features we intend to
- talk to.)
-
- While reading news today it occured to me that I really should be
- peeking at the available stack space before I try to do "big things"
- in someone else's living room.
-
- Question: How much stack space can an NBP lookup require? (I assume
- NBPExtract's and all my other calls' usage will be compairably
- trivial.)
-
-
- Bonus Question: Anyone have any ideas how I might squirt a little
- extra Postscript into Pagemaker's output, a la the PREC 103 mechanism
- Apple offers? (Pagemaker's forcing me to start from scratch really
- annoys me. Even Microsoft applications work with my original INIT!)
