Baskin) Subject: Floppy I/O Error & Possible Student Rate Sender: Executor-Owner@nacm.com Precedence: bulk Hello y'all, Recently downloaded 1.99b demo and its very nice. Much improved over 1.2, even Mac friends in the know are impressed with the speed, color support and the overall product. I've been able to transfer some files to my Mac volume i made with MKVOL, but some floppies have I/O Errors when transfering files, especially larger files like Speedometer 4.0. I tried reformatting the floppy on a Mac, but same problem. Any suggestions? Also, Executor works with MAS, our assembly programming app, and with some other software required by classes @ the University. I know people who would purchase Executor if it were a bit less expensive. $99 is a lot to pay for the convienence of not going to a computer lab and working @ home instead, even if Executor is a nice product (which it is), but for students who only need it to run a few class related apps, its a bit steep. Is there any possibility of a student version or better yet, a student rate? Might open up a bigger market... Nice work guys, looking forward to the next release...
