Executor/Linux w/floppy & x-windows stuff



Hello,

Is it just me, or did floppy access break with the new version of 
Executor/Linux?  I used to be able to use Alt-Shift-2, and then choose 
Check for Disk under File with "go".  I can't seem to get it to access 
though w/ 1.99m...  I even tried to automatically set "MacVolume" to 
/dev/fd0, but to no avail.

About possible SVGA instead of X-window support--  Maybe its just me, but 
I would like to see this as an "option" instead of as an additional 
version.  I don't know if that would be possible, or if it would just 
bloat the code-- but it would be ideal that if I'm in X-windows i could 
stay there, but if I really needed some speed I could log into another 
virtual terminal and run it under SVGA.  Maybe a commandline option?  
something like "executor -svga" or "executor -x11" ???

Also, as a side note-- Maybe I just didn't look hard enough, but I seem 
to remember finding where I could mail my registration to in the past...  
I looked again, and couldn't seem to find it.  Could you post this info?  
Perhaps that should be a section in the faq--complete info on prices and 
where to send it to, and who to call. (phone number)  All I could find 
was the prices in the "executor-linux.readme" file.

BTW- 1.99m is really looking beautiful!  I love the ability to change 
backgrounds--makes it look real sharp.  Perhaps the "go" browser could be 
a bit more colorful, though...  Perhaps making the hot-band a 3D raised 
bar--This could also be configurable to different colors.  (Similar to 
the configuration of colors on the Mac/OS windows--the tinting colors)
