- Thanks for your answer,
-
- Meanwhile I heard that Executor does not run with newer kernel versions,
- and I was using 1.1.64.
- Then I tried 1.1.52 and Executor was running (although with most programs
- more or less black/white, rest of screen was yellow).
-
- At this stage I cannot justify whether it is useful for "serious"
- programs or not because of the lack of documentation and the
- impossibility to install "serious" applications via diskette. For me it
- looks interesting and I am awaiting any next version where at least a
- minimum of documentation is available.
