After testing with 1.99o3 (the *.exe version), I found out
something to tell:
1) After pressed <Enter> in the welcome screen, some text is
displayed overlay with the welcome screen, it may be some error message
but I cannot catch as it is too fast to be disappear.
2) The problem in (1) is appear if playing solitate game provide
with executor.
3) The shareware version of Ultima 3 cannot be run. When in the
welcome screen, some error message is displayed and the last line is
about color something like "log2 color<=3" and a window with a button
without any text is displayed. After pressing the button, exit to dos!
May be some System 7 call is not implement with executor which required
by this game.
Thanks a lot!
Yours,
Thomas
