- I installed an old (MacPlus-era) version of MacMoney, which I now use in

- Subject: Why we're so silent
-
- We're working on getting 1.3 out the door. It was scheduled for December
- release but has slipped a little. It should be out in early January.
-
- New features include:
-
- Serial driver support (i.e. "Mac" programs can talk to modems)
-
- An accelerated graphics mode (greatly speeds scrolling, good for games)
-
- Some sound manager routines
-
- and hopefully
-
- support for IPT's filesystem and NS 3.0's filesystem (still working on
- this one)
-
- In addition, more programs will work than before and many quirks will have
- disappeared.
-
- Although we're not spending much time making sure that games work, it does
- look like Lemmings, Crystal Quest and Leprechaun will be playable and
- challenging with Executor 1.3.
-
- Got to get back to work.

- Why not switch to the NeXT based accounting package available?
- There is one called Fiscal Diminsion that I'm using. The edu price is $50-$75
- and it's pretty good. I was using Quicken under SoftPC.
-
- I would guess that if you have a lot of Mac applications the approach you use is
- acceptable. I don't have a great need for Mac software and have tried to convert
- my software, as packages became available to the NeXT.
-
- I have played with Executor and I like the product I still like the native NeXT
- interface over running something for a Mac (sic) on a NeXT.
-
- BTW - Has anyone tried to get Logic Works to run under Executor. If it did run
- I would be inclined to get a copy of Executor for that one program. There is
- no designe entry or digital simulation for the NeXT.
