	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
