If he don't want / can't, I will, I promise.
It's a bug I've also in my BubbleJet driver, so I'm pretty sure I've 
missed something 
somewhere...

BTW, did someone try with the OBOS "Into File" transport to see 
if this bug occurs too=3F

As some of you may know, I'm currently more involved in the OBOS 
net=5Fkit 
than print=5Fkit, but by your proposed time frame I'll do or first point 
("cancellation of save as file" bug) or update to PDFlib 4.0.2 (hoping 
it will not introduce some nasty new behavior here and there...)
You tell me.
