I have a bunch of questions about Medley that I had been meaning to
ask...

- Is Medley 2.1 for Sun shipping yet?

CAPS LOCK

- Does the Caps Lock key now work with OpenWindows on the Sun?

- Is the VIRTUALKEYBOARDS that doesn't clobber the Caps Lock key
  shipping with 2.1?

PRINTING

- I noticed that printing the "Hardcopy listing of directory" from
  FILEBROWSER to a PostScript printer doesn't work correctly.  The
  top edge and left edge appears to be cut off the printout.  Has
  this been fixed?

- Many _quotation marks_ do not seem to print "correctly" on PostScript
  Printers (From TEdit using CLASSIC fonts via POSTSCRIPTSTREAM):

    - The single quote (CHARCODE 39 decimal) appears straight up-down on
      Interpress printers and on the screen.  It looks like a single
      "right" quote on PostScript printers.

    - The single right quote (CHARCODE 185) appears that way on the screen
      and Interpress, but prints as "quotedblbase" in PostScript.

    - The double right quote (CHARCODE 8557) prints as an "m" on PostScript.

- Using the CLASSIC font, the vertical bar (CHARCODE 124) seems to be
  "extra-wide" (extra blank space on either side) when printed on
  PostScript.

- [To John Sybalsky:] Has the diacritics accent support in POSTSCRIPTSTREAM
  been completed?

SERVING FILES TO 1108s FROM SUNS

- Using Medley 1.1 on 1108, TCP/IP communication with UNIX file servers
  on the Sun doesn't work too well.  (FileBrowser doesn't work with
  wildcards, TEdit GETs do not work- somehow finding the file
  "corrupt".)  Is there anything that can allow 1108s to work with UNIX
  file servers?

Many thanks and Merry Christmas to all.
