Build 107

[Howard Katz]

I've been giving it a whirl for about an hour now--things look good--I can find my files, pull them up, use most of the TOs that I know work here, etc.

Does the print to RTF work?  I tried it directly, tried the timeout that's supposed to build printers and the rtf from there too.  I keep getting dropped into the debugger.  (and one small irritation--once the debugger is called by the program, it's set as "checked" next time you start up, and stops immediately.  Have to uncheck it to continue loading AW)

Clipboard copying still works of course, so I can at least get things to another WP that way, but all formatting and spacing disappears, as usual.

I have been using print to rtf file for the past few revisions with
good success. Mark improved it with his recent preference settings
for font and size.
I don't recall having to set up a special printer, I just 'print' and
choose '3. Save as RTF' from the print dialogue. After naming the
rtf it is saved (I like to save to Desktop). I then startup the Mac
AppleWorks v6 and open the RTF file to do any final editing before
printing. Works well. Of course, '2. RTF Clipboard' works as a
printer and then I just open a new AW6 file and paste from the
clipboard. Also works well. I haven't had any issues with getting
the debugger so I can't help there. Keep trying because printing to
'RTF' is a good option to have right now until Deja||x can print
directly to a Mac printer.

Immediately goes to debugger mode for me, and doesn't rtf anything.

I'm pushing out a new TextSoap release tomorrow, so all my energy is
directed there at the moment.

Not sure what is going on with regards to printing to RTF. I do know I
tried it when I added the feature (a while back) and haven't changed
it in recent updates, but it is definitely delicate right now.
