In our brand new GatorBox 1.14 documentation it says that the capability to print on a PostScript-based printer attached to the Unix box will be coming in GatorBox software V2.0, "to be supplied to GatorBox users in the fourth quarter of 1988". Well, Cayman, I'm a GatorBox user, and I want it. Where is it? The software with my box says its either 1.14 or 1.25, depending on where you look.

My brand new GatorBox (February, 1989) mentions no dates for this feature, but the V1.25 Release Notes state that the capability to print to an AppleTalk LaserWriter from the Ethernet-attached UNIX machine will be available in Version 1.5, "at the end of first quarter 1989". Actually, I don't care one way or the other, since we have LaserWriters in both places. What I could really use is the capability to do character substitution for the "illegal characters in filename". If I have a Mac file like "Memo - 3/19/89", I can't ship that to a UNIX machine, and the GatorBox software will correctly prevent me from doing that. Why couldn't it let me specify that for all occurrences of "/", replace it with "-", or something similar ? Only opinions. I think the GatorBox is easy to use and VERY transparent. In reading some of the problems people have with KFPs, I'm glad that someone attacked the Mac<->UNIX/Ethernet problem from the MAC perspective. M. A.
