ftp.ardi.com:/pub/BleedingEdge/vesafix.zip should fix the OS/2
problem, I think.

I don't know what video board you have, but apparently Mach64 boards
avoid the "annoying white border".  Even better, they seem to run
really well with Executor.  One user got 8 bit per pixel globe frames
over 1000 frames per second on his Mach64 (I can only get 950 fps on
my P90/PCI Mach32 with VBE 2.0).  When you break 1000 fps under Globe
its frames-per-second display goes blank.  Heh.
