Ron, For only being Rev. 1.3 of WB I can hardly fault Commadore, the new drivers work well (my opinion only), and some other really decent items on the disk….I will credit the programmers who wrote Excellence! for doing a really fine job, but MSS themselves can still shove their heads somewhere very uncomfortable…..printing with Excellence is really quite fast….but they need to get to work on the bugs!!

The only bug I've found so far – if you go into the new pref, do something, get out and then enter excellence, you either crash or hang. At least I do. What sort of problems have you found? I did suggest to MSS to add installation of the drivers, etc. to the hd install file, and to provide printed documentaion for hd's. Ron

Ron, never had that one happen to me …..YET!! :), but you cannot really type different fonts on the "fly"…you have to save the document and the change the fonts one by one after. Memory mapping on Excellence! seems to be very stable, as well as overall operating conditions. You definately must have at least 1 (and preferably 2) megs of memory for real good work. MSS missed the boat on print spooling….not sure why it would have been a hangup in this program !!….the hd aspect seem difficult to understand, they could have set the hd install program to be more compatible with different drives !!….oh well cant have it all I guess….am still playing with it and liking it more….MSS can still go to H**L as far as I am concerned……..
