Hi Folks,
Happy Holidays.
I'm basically recovered from that flu like trouble that was holding me back,
but unfortunately I am going to be out of town for a week, so my e-mail will
remain a bit behind. "questions@ardi.com" is much preferable to
"ctm@ardi.com" for such reasons.
Anyway, before leaving I've put a couple new files out on ftp.cs.unm.edu:
/pub/ardi/Executor_DOS/exct19f.zip
/pub/ardi/Executor_Linux/executor.gz
The former is a total replacement for our old Executor/DOS experimental demo.
The latter is a single executable that you will need to copy over your
/usr/local/bin/executor binary if you already have Executor/Linux 1.99e
installed and you want to run 1.99f.
I'm not able to get a NEXTSTEP or DOS-Commercial version of 1.99f out the door
before I leave, but barring further illness, things should get much smoother
after the holidays.
BTW, with some fiddling with "-refresh" and "-applzone", we are able to run
Maelstrom
Wolfenstein 3D (but you can't shoot under E/DOS)
NIH Image 1.55
Mac Attack
Tetris Max
Expert Backgammon
"Fatty Bear Demo"
the beginning of "Out of this World Demo"
Seahaven Towers
and a bunch of other publicly redistributable color applications. In January
we hope to get ftp.ardi.com set up so that people can pick up binaries that
are known to work with Executor. NOTE: we haven't permanently shifted our
emphasis to games; we just wanted to find and fix a certain class of color
bugs. When I get back we'll be attacking Photoshop, Nisus, Filemaker Pro,
