<html> <blockquote type=cite cite>From: <a href="mailto:norbertschade@oaktech.com">Norbert Schade</a> To: <a href="mailto:upd@pwg.org">UPD group</a> Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2001 9:38 AM Subject: item 15 I have added an attribute CompatibleUPDF to all features on the level of the xxxList. That means somebody can declare a complete feature compatible to another model. It is not possible to declare single records of a feature compatible. It is open where this attribute should refer to. Until further notice it holds references to other device description files (no file extension). Feedback appreciated.   Purpose of this attribute: 1. Printer manufacturers may build a number of UPDF descriptions, where especially within model families features are indentical. This reference may save some testing and QA time. 2. If a developer connects to an internal database for printer data, this reference can be used to avoid duplicating records.   This settles item 15 until further input on the reference.   Item 9 is considered more or less settled, as we haven't heard anything since Toronto though I asked a number of times. I will keep that open until Friday this week. That leaves us with item 8 (group licence), where we have some proposal from IBM, and item 14 (raster graphic and event handlers). these are anyhow issues under current development. So I will not further refer to the item list any more. It is considered done (with the exception of current development for items 8 and 14).     Regards Norbert Schade Principal Software Engineer Advanced Development / Connectivity Oak Technology, Inc. 10 Presidential Way Woburn, MA 01801 USA Phone: 1-781-638-7614 Fax: 1-781-638-7555 email: <a href="mailto:norbertschade@oaktech.com">norbertschade@oaktech.com</a></blockquote> <div><a href="mailto:sommer@granitesystems.com" EUDORA=AUTOURL>mailto:sommer@granitesystems.com</a></div> <div>978-486-3068</div> </html>
