Simtel and its mirrors like oak.oakland.edu in the /simtel directory have
even more vesa drivers. msdos/graphics has vesa-tsr.zip univbe50.zip
and vesadrv2.zip. Within these are many subfiles. For those with cirrus
logic boards, the diamond2 works great (version 1.2 gave me 800x600x1).

I made an error- the vesa.exe file also gives 1024x786 at all bit depths.
Executor is great. Ardi should put copies of the vesa drivers at ftp.ardi.com
once they get it going I think.

Does anyone have a FULL list of the Executor command line switches and what
they do? I'm interested in playing with settings but I didn't receive a
copy of a document with this information. Thanks...

I'm using Executor DOS 1.99D. When I run it with only the -applzone
switch, it runs normally. But, when I use the -macbpp 8 -realbpp 8
switches I get a white border around the screen. This doesn't change even
when I run applications. I have a Diamond Stealth 24 VESA card. My system
is a 486DX2 w 16 Megs of RAM. Also, if I try to run Executor in Windows
using the bpp 8 switches, it won't run. I usually run Windows in 24 bit
color. Any ideas as to why? I suspect the Diamond drivers.
Thanks,
G.II.L.

The Diamond drivers are not to blame. 1.99f fixes both problems.
