There is still at least one bug in the new DOS extender that we're
using to build 1.99i. We expect it to be fixed within another couple
days, but I will be out of town from Thursday through Monday, so 1.99i
will have to wait until Tuesday at the earliest to be built.
1.99i will fix the horrendus bugs we introduced in the DOS version of
1.99h. It will also have floppy support under Linux and a bunch of
miscelaneous bug fixes for all platforms.
We are trying to work with NEXT to get access to some tools that will
allow us to continue releasing NEXTSTEP versions of Executor. We
appear to be making progress, but it is a very slow process.

Hello everyone,
I have the following problem: I have downloaded a large (12.5 Meg) binhexed
Macintosh file. I wanted to port this to my Macintosh at home, but because
it's so large, I have to segment it. I wanted to use Executor to do this. So
my idea was to have Compact Pro to segment it. But Compact Pro uses a
temporary file, which has to be on a Macintosh volume. Problem: I don't have
a Macintosh volume under Executor which is large enough to carry the file
(the largest one is about 3 Meg, I believe). So I tried to make a volume
with MKVOL.EXE. I am able to create such a volume, but Executor doesn't
recognize it.
My question is: how come? How can I make Executor to recognize this volume?
I can understand if MKVOL.EXE doesn't work with the demo (I'm using
Executor/DOS 1.99b), but if so, it doesn't make sense to include MKVOL.EXE
with the demo. Any ideas?
A related question would be: is there any other way to workaround this
problem, I mean to port this file to my Mac (I have to do this by floppy disk)?
