Why don't you join the real world Mr. Goodger? No system is above criticism; the Mac falls short in many areas. Mr. Gillies wants a perfectly reasonable feature--a standard mechanism and data format for rotated text. This is certainly possible. The only reason we won't see this in system 7.0 is that the quickdraw group is not far enough along yet. Toolbox support for text along a path will be part of future systems. [Of course, the people who know when this feature is scheduled to appear can't tell the world.] -- Norman Graham {cbosgd,rutgers}!okstate!norman The opinions expressed herein do not necessarily reflect the views of the state of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, OSU's Department of Computer Science, or of the writer himself.
