Does PrintExtensions work for OW3 ?

[David Aspinall]

PrintExtensions was designed to override some of the methods of the  
TEXT class, and to insert page headers and footers into the printed  
output.  OmniWeb does not use the TEXT object (or even the NSText  
object) so naturally this bundle does nothing.

I started working on updating the bundle a while ago (beta 2 or 3 I  
think), but when I heard that OMNI was going to using their own  
document layout objects I stopped.  It's not hard to do, but until  
they finished the object and maybe (?!) release the API for this new  
object, then there was no point in making a bundle.

I'm glad to hear OMNI is going to build it in, if you want, send me  
the API for all the document views, and I will put together a  
supporting bundle. (if you have them, send an outline for all the  
header/footer requirements).  I will also either forward to you the  
source code, or if you prefer, I will post the source.

| No, it doesn't work with OmniWeb 3:  the PrintExtensions code is
