a few postscripts

1: printing form NX. I am giving this up having found with Epson 1290 it gave up 7/8 way through super A3 prints. On new Canon ix4000 it produces faint lines down the print on a dark background (the sticky bud). So looks as if I do have to save/convert to tif for printing. (comments censored)

2: View NX; this is quite useful as a quick preview/weed after download. However, as far as my vintage powerbook/OS 10.3.9 is concerned it is as much a 'rogue' program as Capture itself, gobbling up vast quantities of cache until it runs out by which time everything has nearly ground to a halt. I got used to living with 1 rogue program years back (Microstation) - and can cope. But not 2 rogues, so rather withdraw my previous gushing over View NX.

3: Capture 1.3.2 seems OK, ie no more roguish than previous ones, and either it or me have got better at avoiding crashes.
