[net.micro.mac] Edit ver2.0

mjmartin@watnot.UUCP (Marie-Josee Martin) (10/31/86)

I have just recently received TML Pascal ver 2 and have run into
a rather annoying problem.  It has to do with the editor, which
is Apple's Edit ver 2.0.

Whenever I try to print a file, only about half a page is printed at
a time.  That is, if there are 40 odd lines in my file, only 23 lines
will be printed on the first page, and the rest on the second page.
Also, any lines wider than about 80 characters are chopped off.

The only solution I've found so far is to go back to my previous
version of edit (something like ver2.0D1) and to print the file.

My configuration is Mac 512K Enhanced, System3.2/Finder5.3, Imagewriter
with Imagewriter driver 2.3.  I've also tried using System2.0/Finder4.1
but to no avail.

Does anyone knows at least why this is happening or of any better solution?

There are a large number of bugs in Edit 2.0. Apple just sent
me (an Edit licensee) a copy of Edit 2.0.1B1 (what a name!),
which is supposed to fix a number of bugs, and especially some
bugs related to printing.

I cannot post the software, but all I can suggest is that you wait
until the next version is released, or buy QUED.

Sorry,
