A few misc. quirks & bugs





Executor is really getting to be pretty good!  I like the addition of the
browser.  There are a few strange quirks that I have noticed though...

#1--  Although fully functional, why did you choose to eliminate the 
      trashcan?  I know this is just a pickey thing, but thats the 
      cutest thing about the macs, and it'll be hard to convice veteran
      mac users that you have to go to a menu to delete a file.

#2--  Executor_DOS gives an error (sorry didn't write down the error number)
      when you delete a file from the new browser, but it --does-- appear
      to delete it just fine.

#3--  Using floppies seems a bit quirky under the new system.  I thought I'd
      simply be able to use ALT-SHIFT-2, and the floppy would appear on the
      "hot-band"...  What I had to do, was first press ALT-SHT-2, then choose
      the scan for floppy option from the menu.  (was that what that option
      was called?  I forget exactly)  Couldn't this be reduced to a one step
      process-- either use ALT_SHT-2, or use the menu option?

#4--  There is an awkward pause when you go back to the browser, both when
      it is first loaded, and when you quit out of an application.  I know
      this is not a high priority (getting programs to run is much more 
      important), but if there is a simple fix, it would be nice to speed 
      that bit up.

Other than that, things are looking great!  I'm just waiting for the 
Executor_Linux 1.99l to come out to see if I can print from it! :-)

(by the way, for the above comments, I tested it on a 486DX2-50, HP vectra,
8MB ram on "DOS6.2/V" with a "ps/2 style mouse", Executor/DOS 1.99l)
