Hi Joseph,
I suspect you're mistaken. We've had no complaints from anyone else
that the file is corrupted; we've definitely had others using it. In
addition, I just used the "sum" command to verify that the checksums are
the same as our master copy over here.

Subject: List of what runs and what doesn't
Sender: owner-executor@nacm.com
Precedence: bulk
Hi Folks,
I'm finally caught up on e-mail, so if you have sent e-mail to me in
the last few months and you never received an answer, you'll have to
resend (or send it to "questions@ardi.com" if that's more
appropriate).
Scott Brown has volunteered to coordinate a list of what runs and what
doesn't under Executor. Eventually we'll provide tools that will make
submitting info a bit easier, but right now if you want to
participate, you'll have to do it by hand.
To send information about applications, whether they run or not,
please follow these directions to the letter.
Send e-mail to "applist@ardi.com" (we have an alias that
automatically logs submissions and then forwards them to Scott)
Use a subject of "applist submission"
In the body of your text, use the following fields (NOTE: they
must start on the first column, they must be spelled the way
they are here and the information you provide must begin on
the same line as the colon, although they can continue onto a
separate line if you put either a space or tab at the beginning
of the continuation lines). "Execution Color" is explained below.
Application Name:
Application Version:
Application Price:
Source of Application:
Executor OS & Version:
Executor switches:
Installs under Executor:
Execution Color:
Submitter:
Notes:
The execution colors are:
Green -- thoroughly tested; no bugs that would prevent
the vast majority of users from using this
application.
Yellow -- less well tested or known bugs that prevent some
functionality from being usable. At a minimum,
the application must be able to read and display
its own document types.
Orange -- Will take mouse and keyboard events, but has
enough major bugs to make the application unusable.
Red -- Will not come up, but is still considered a target
for a better class by the time 2.0 ships.
Black -- Will not come up no, nor is it expected to when
2.0 ships (with possible System 7 spoofing
exceptions).
If you don't want people sending you e-mail, asking for more
information, put "anonymous" in the "Submitter:" field.
You can put several submissions in a single piece of e-mail.
Please make sure that each submission contains all of the
fields mentioned above.
An example submission (totally made up) would be:
Application Name: dibcaboo
Application Version: 5.3
Application Price: $49 -- shareware
Source of Application: ftp.majorcorp.com:/pub/macapps/dibcaboo.pit
Executor OS & Version: DOS 1.99h, Linux 1.99h
Executor switches: -applzone 4096 -refresh 4
Installs under Executor: no
Execution Color: Yellow
Submitter: ctm@ardi.com
Notes: I couldn't get the "PIT" file to decode under Executor, so I had to
use a real Mac to expand the software. I then used an external hard
disk to move it over. The application seems to work fine, but it's
so large that I can't really guarantee that there are no bugs.
Scott will be responsible for keeping all this information in a
database. Periodically, he'll send us a flat-file copy, which we'll
make available on ftp.cs.unm.edu until we get ftp.ardi.com up.
After a couple of weeks, I'll put all of the above information into
our FAQ, assuming that everything works as planned.

P.S. You may have noticed a suspiciously high number of posts to this
mailing list that were "cc"s of e-mail that didn't have a lot
of significance for this list in general. That's due to me
switching e-mail systems and not remembering to strip "cc:
executor@nacm.com" when I reply to something that was sent to
this list and the reply isn't of general interest.
