More info about 1.2.2a, b, c
Dear Folks,
Soon after we released 1.2.2a we found and fixed a handful of
significant bugs and released 1.2.2b. We have now found and fixed
another set and are putting out 1.2.2c. We think we're getting
pretty close to what we can feel comfortable calling 1.3, but we do
know that there will be at least one more release before we make this
transition: HFS_XFer will become a Desk Accessory and be included
with Executor.app. Right now ARDI is interrupt driven; any bug that
represents a difference between Executor/NS/NeXT and
Executor/NS/Intel, or any bug that represents a step back from 1.2.2
gets top priority. Beyond that we are working on the HFS_XFer Desk
Accessory (yes, this means we'll have *some* support for Desk
Accessories in general). The bottom line is that if transferring via
ftp is a hassle, you may want to wait until we have HFS_XFer going
before you pick up 1.2.2c, 1.2.2d 1.2.2e, etc.
If you have NS 3.1 on NeXT hardware and you want 1.2.2 to work, you
can get Executor 1.2.2c and extract the "ardimods" directory and use
that to replace what you currently have with 1.2.2. That will make
1.2.2 on NeXT hardware work under NeXTSTEP 3.1.
If you have NS 3.0 and you want to try 1.2.2c and later, you can
without having to worry about the "ardimods" directory. Starting
with 1.2.2c, the ardimods will automatically detect when they're
being run on a 3.0 system and adjust themselves accordingly.
