Hi Folks,
I know it's been a long time coming, but 1.2d is now available from
ftp.cs.unm.edu. As before, it's a ".zip" file that unzips into a
directory that contains an "update.bat" batch file. This time, the
transmogrifier will work even if you have SHARE.EXE running.
In general, 1.2d's handling of Mac filesystems is greatly improved
over all previous versions of Executor/DOS. However, along the way
we broke the game "1000 miles" and apparently you can't rename DOS
files using HFS_XFer.
Other than just being several times more solid than 1.2c, there
aren't many user observable changes in 1.2d. With a new System file,
you'll be able to print to files, but the new System file is not part
of the exexp12d.zip file -- it will be released sometime early next
week.
Just like 1.2c, 1.2d has trouble running under Windows. If you run
with "-noclock", it will run fine. We hope to have this bug fixed
sometime next week; it is related to code we are revamping for serial
support and sound support.
Sometime next week we'll give you a sneak peek at a color version of
Executor. This will basically just be to show you that we have a lot
of color stuff going, but that snapshot will probably be even buggier
than 1.2c was.
Please report any trouble you find in 1.2d to "bugs@ardi.com". We
want to get the interrupt bugs fixed and then get 1.3 out in beta so
we can send 1.3 out free of charge to all our existing customers so
that they'll at least have access to some of the new features while
we take the time to get 2.0 into and out of beta and into production.
We'll also release a new DEMO version when 1.3 comes out.
I am still behind in answering a lot of personal e-mail, I will be
out of town this weekend, but will work on my backlog at the
beginning of next week. I kept putting it off until 1.2d was
released, and that release took much longer than I expected.
In the past, e-mail coming from ARDI had return addresses that looked
like: "cs.unm.edu!iclone!recipient" or
"iclone!recipient@cs.unm.edu". These style addresses will cease to
be legitimate addresses at the end of the month.
"recipient@ardi.com" has always worked and will always work. We will
try to get our mailer to generate those as the return address,
although now our return addresses look something like
"iclone!recipient@swcp.com", which is a legitimate return address
now, but may change sometime in the future.
It's not clear whether or not ftp.cs.unm.edu will continue to remain
the repository for ARDI ftpables, but if it changes, I'll post a new
ftp address to this list.
Thank you for the get-well notes I received after mentioning the
kidney stone. Thanks too if you decided not to send one because I
was already complaining about being swamped with e-mail. As far as I
know, I'm back to normal -- normal for me, that is. In fact, I'm
doing well enough that I'm going to be on vacation Friday through
