Executor/Linux 1.99m comments...
I just set up 1.99m here - looks really good so far. This is
almost ready for "prime time" so to speak, in my opinion.
About the video speed - when animation is off, things seem
smoother now than they did under 1.99k. Did the 4-dirty-rect code make
it in here or something? Whatever was done seemed to improve things.
I like the new background, too.
Most of what follows is nitpicking/bug reports... things which
ALMOST work, but still need a little bit more work done. These are much
better than 1.99k though.
PageMaker 4.2 ALMOST works for me. The one major problem right
now is that File/Place dosen't work, reporting "unknown file type" This
is a pretty old bug. I think it's becuase it's running some checks on
each file, and the filesystem code has some sort of a bug in it which
dosen't report what Pagemaker needs.
Running Executor/Linux under XF86_Mono is much closer now too.
The only problems is that the background turns into a semi-randomish dot
pattern (this happens in -bpp 1 too), and the mouse cursor is inverted.
I haven't tested printing yet.
In general, 1.99m + a few bug fixes + a couple of minor features
mentioned by Cliff (formatting disks) + the hack-a-thon + one/two last
debugging release(s) should be 2.0. I can really feel it getting much closer
now... keep it up!

P.S. Cliff - which company were you signing papers for anyway?
