    WHY DECmcc DOESN'T PERMIT TO PRINT MAPS???
>	WE SIMPLY  HAVE  TOO  MUCH  WORK  TO  DO  AND  THERE ARE HIGHER
	PRIORITY THINGS WE  MUST  DO FIRST.  YOU CAN USE THE DECWINDOWS
	SCREEN CAPTURE/PRINT TO GET  (AT  LEAST)  A  SCREEN'S  WORTH OF
	PRINTING.


    DID YOU PLAN TO OFFER THAT FEATURE IN FUTURE RELEASE?
>	YES, BUT DON'T EXPECT IT IN V1.2.

    WE DO HOPE YES (WE = CUSTOMERS + ME)!!
>	WE HEAR YOU!!
    
    many thanks

>	keep  your comments and interests  coming,  NME  *really*  does
	listen you you, the users, field  reps,  and the customers.  We
	have a significantly higher request queue than  we possible can
	service.  Some things, however obvious, just won't  get done as
	soon as some would like.  It doesn't mean  we  aren't listening
	or planning to do them.

1192.3MAP prints are pretty -- but they sell servicesCLARID::PATELWe'll get it right on the nightFri Jun 28 1991 13:1313
    It's amazing how requirements like printable maps, map transport using
    HPGL etc get such low priorities.

    I know of several large sites where we lost out because we could no
    provide quality prints of maps and graphs.  After all what sells is the
    results of network management services presented in MIS  (management
    consumable :-)) format, that means pretty maps and graphs.

    Also, many customers have cad/cam (HPGL) files representing their
    networks, we could save big "$" in service delivery costs by utilizing
    them.
