Bolo 0.997 calls the Sound Manager in a way we didn't expect.  I just
got around to looking at tha bug yesterday and it's now fixed
internally.  The first release of Executor after 1.99q8 will have that
fix in it (also included are fixes that allows Realmz 2.5, Beebop 2,
Scruffy 2, Bedlam and a few others to run).

http://vorlon.mit.edu/arditop.html has the status of some apps.
ftp://ftp.ardi.com/pub/AppNotes.19q also has a small list

After E2 is in beta we'll be spending a lot of time documenting what
works and what doesn't.  Things are still changing pretty quickly over
here.
