Hi list,
Ahem... It's me again, and I'm going to talk about printing
facilities in MC...
This week only I've got three demands from clients for
development of products in which online + CD-ROM
versions with high quality printing features (PS & pdf) are
on top of the request list...
>From a more general point of view, I'm more & more
convinced of the need of a development tool that
allows to approach the application domain (that goes
from pure online apps to pure print apps) as a single
entity without any gap inbetween.
In other words, I see more & more clients asking
for apps that request high quality features at both
ends of the chain...
I don't mean to start another endless thread about
printing; I just wanted to stress out the importance
of including in MC a function that allows downloading
of a handler's content (PS, pdf, MIDI...) to the
modem & printer ports.
For the moment, the only options I can offer to
my clients are weird procedures to generate a pdf file
and then download it with another app, or develop
under Director...

P.S. could someone tell me if the following :
open modem:
write numtochar(199) to modem: -- to write 199 to it
close modem:
works in the Win version of MC only, or if it's
also available on Mac ?
Thanks.
