[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Printing futures for HyperCard ??

JOSEPH@cc.utah.edu (09/30/89)

To anyone who might know something:

Early on I saw the need for better printing from HyperCard.  I wrote an
external command PrFlds that does a pretty good job, but still needs some
improved user interface work.  PrFlds will let you handle card selection
and handles fields that need to expand over page boundaries.  My main question
is this.  Since I make PrFlds available to anyone who wants to use it (my own
philosophy), I need to determine if it is worth my time to continue with
its improvement, or should I wait and hopefully find that the next version
of HyperCard (2.0 I assume) will have an adequate print capability.

If someone out there has access to inside information that they could pass
on to me (even from Apple itself) I would very much like to know.  I am 
willing to sign any non-disclosure if necessary.  I have been involved with
beta-testing stuff for Apple already in the past (due to my position here
at the Univ. of Utah) and I feel that such information sharing is useful.

Thanks in advance for you help.
