- There is no such thing currently available as far as I know. However I
- have been working on such thing off and on for the last year or two and
- I have an ALMOST fully functional version that I could send to you if you
- really, really want it. Printing currently only works in faster or best
- mode on the ImageWriter and there are no print dialogs, just what appears to
- be a hung Macintosh while the computer thinks about printing and spools the
- file off to the printer. Also one of the mouse tracking loops isn't as tight
- as it should be, and there's no way to force a straight line to be drawn.
- Finally I was hoping to write up a decent set of docs
- and clean up the code before releasing it.
- Version 1.0 should be out "Real Soon Now."
