Status [1.99f is out as a DOS demo and a Linux demo]



Hi Folks,

Happy Holidays.

I'm basically recovered from that flu like trouble that was holding me back,  
but unfortunately I am going to be out of town for a week, so my e-mail will  
remain a bit behind.  "questions@ardi.com" is much preferable to  
"ctm@ardi.com" for such reasons.

Anyway, before leaving I've put a couple new files out on ftp.cs.unm.edu:

	/pub/ardi/Executor_DOS/exct19f.zip
	/pub/ardi/Executor_Linux/executor.gz

The former is a total replacement for our old Executor/DOS experimental demo.   
The latter is a single executable that you will need to copy over your  
/usr/local/bin/executor binary if you already have Executor/Linux 1.99e  
installed and you want to run 1.99f.

I'm not able to get a NEXTSTEP or DOS-Commercial version of 1.99f out the door  
before I leave, but barring further illness, things should get much smoother  
after the holidays.

BTW, with some fiddling with "-refresh" and "-applzone", we are able to run

	Maelstrom
	Wolfenstein 3D (but you can't shoot under E/DOS)
	NIH Image 1.55
	Mac Attack
	Tetris Max
	Expert Backgammon
	"Fatty Bear Demo"
	the beginning of "Out of this World Demo"
	Seahaven Towers

and a bunch of other publicly redistributable color applications.  In January  
we hope to get ftp.ardi.com set up so that people can pick up binaries that  
are known to work with Executor.  NOTE:  we haven't permanently shifted our  
emphasis to games; we just wanted to find and fix a certain class of color  
bugs.  When I get back we'll be attacking Photoshop, Nisus, Filemaker Pro,  
Quark and other "big ticket" applications.

Hope everyone's holidays were happy.
