beta status



I did not get beta0 built this weekend, although I got 1/3rd* of beta0
built.  I burned a CD-ROM that has the DOS side set up properly and
has placeholders on the Linux and and NEXTSTEP sides of things.  Mat,
Melissa and I will be looking at this mongrel CD-ROM for a day or two
before we fill up the Linux and NEXTSTEP sides of things.

So the bad news is that we're still slipping (although not by as
much).  The good news is that the CD-ROM is a hybrid so in addition to
it having DOS information in 8.3, it also has Linux and NEXTSTEP
information using High Sierra (long filenames with mixed case) *and*
it functions as a Mac CD-ROM in a Mac, too.

Remember, beta0 will go to a very select group of people for a couple
weeks of testing, then we'll build beta1.  When beta1 is available,
the pre-beta $99 and $49 sale prices of Executor will disappear.  If
you're thinking about registering Executor, time is running out.

*Actually it's more like 7/8ths built because most of the Linux and
NEXTSTEP side parallels or is a symbolic link to the DOS side anyway.
I just ran out of mental steam when it was time to write the install
scripts, so I burned a test CD-ROM to verify that my hybrid scheme
works.
