Interesting. We've seen this with some Gateways before. Have you
tried "-nosound" under 1.99q to see if that helps?

Real old programs often directly access the sound hardware that was
present on early Macs. Newer old programs are probably accessing the
"Sound Driver". We don't support either of those sound interfaces
yet. There's no reason we can't, but the sound work was done by a
volunteer and we won't be able to fund future sound development until
after Executor 2 is shipping.

Thanks. We're working around the clock to make Executor 2 (and
beyond) be worthwhile.
