I don't think that's correct, because I can run (sort of) Executor under
Warp. The "finder" (or however it's called, I'm no Mac connaisseur) DOES
come up, but whenever I try to execute something, it just crashes(?),
i.e. the session is ended, but I don't get any error message/dialog.

Any hints?

Thanks,

 Has anyone actually gotten some real work done with Executor/DOS?  I've had
 fun with it, but it seems that all my useful applications--Excel, MindWrite,
 Superpaint, Word, THINK Pascal--have flaws that prevent them from functioning.
  I can play Strategic Conquest, but if I'm going to use a PC Empires Deluxe is
 better.  I still like the potential of Executor, but I'm curious if anyone has
 realized this potential.

Yeah, I've gotten a real work with Cricket Graph under Executor/DOS 1.2
(unfortunately, it won't work under 1.99x experimental versions, but Ardi
people are confident of fixing this flaw.  Even under 1.2, you can't use
cut&paste feature of it, though).  I ran Executor/DOS under Window's DOS
box, made some graphs, and saved them as PICT format graph files.  I used
Corel Draw for Win to read and edit the PICT files created by Cricket Graph,
then pasted them on Word and PowerPoint for Win to create a paper and some
slides for presentation.  I would say this is a real work;-)

Now I'm trying to enhance/analyze some microscopic images using NIH Image
that runs under Executor/DOS 1.99h.  Some problems still exist with it, but
most of the functions seem to be working fine.  NIH Image can generate
PostScript output as a disk file, so one can print the processed images
even though Executor/DOS itself doesn't support printing.

    I remember a few months ago there were plans to merge the
executor 1.2e source tree with the new synthetic CPU, and release a
version 1.3.

    I'd still like to have a copy of 1.3 (if it's possible to make
one...).  I'm wondering why it hasn't been released (IMHO, some stuff
such as word 5.0 and some games ran better or more reliabily under 1.2e
than 1.99x and I'd like to see that merged with the fast CPU!)

    I think the original B&W video code is a bit faster under some
applications than the color one, and I'd like to be able to use both.

    (My problem with Word 5.0 is that after some dialogs the UI
crashes - this is under 1.99h, and it's the About Word and the Summary
Info dialog.  The system just hangs after those, but Alt-Shift-5 still
works.)

    Thanks!

I am trying to run 1.99c for Linux... It seems I had to upgrade to
XFree386-3.1 to get certain libraries... in any case, I get the following
error messages when I run executor:

<6>Aiee! Corrupt vm_area_struct i_mmap ring

repeated over and over again as executor loads.  Then, I do get the
initial screen.

When I move my pointer into the executor window, the whole screen changes
over to "Mac colors"... and the message starts repeating again.

When I click on the OK button, I get:

<6>iput: inode 2444 on device 3/2 still has mappings,
Segmentation fault

and then the executor process dies.

Any ideas?  Thanks!!
