Yeah, I've gotten a real work with Cricket Graph under Executor/DOS 1.2
(unfortunately, it won't work under 1.99x experimental versions, but Ardi
people are confident of fixing this flaw. Even under 1.2, you can't use
cut&paste feature of it, though). I ran Executor/DOS under Window's DOS
box, made some graphs, and saved them as PICT format graph files. I used
Corel Draw for Win to read and edit the PICT files created by Cricket Graph,
then pasted them on Word and PowerPoint for Win to create a paper and some
slides for presentation. I would say this is a real work;-)
Now I'm trying to enhance/analyze some microscopic images using NIH Image
that runs under Executor/DOS 1.99h. Some problems still exist with it, but
most of the functions seem to be working fine. NIH Image can generate
PostScript output as a disk file, so one can print the processed images
even though Executor/DOS itself doesn't support printing.
