- one can only hope, but i know quite a few people who are itching
- to see what all those "hires" are about. regarding TNT, sure
- i've seen it and it is more like what i want, definitely, and i
- might have adopted it if i had thought it would become mainstream
- (that dirty word!). but i dont really like postscript, i like it
- as an "image file format" but not as a programming environment (IMHO).
