MacPascal 3.0 will crash when attempting to print the Drawing window on a Mac LC. I was told by the New Zealand agent for Symantec that a patch would be available in March, but after several dozen phone calls discovered yesterday that Symantec have produced no such patch. Does anyone know of any way of circumventing this printing problem? I have given up on Symantec, and will be avoiding them like the plague in future (I mean, why does it take them 3 months to decide to tell me that I have bought 40 copies of a package on the basis of promise [made by their NZ agent] that they are not going to fulfil?)

Don't go blaming Symantec for what might just be a problem with the distributor. Also, I just recently heard that Symantec no longer has a NZ distributor (at least that what our Computer Centre told us), so their products now have to be sourced from the States direct. Anyone who is already registered with PCS will be OK (I hope! :-), but I don't know what happens to new buyers... -- See ya Nigel. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Nigel Stanger, Internet: stanger@otago.ac.nz c/o University of Otago, P.O.
