We found a machine on which we can reproduce this bug. In theory, it
should be fairly easy to fix, since it didn't happen in 1.99k and only
so many things have changed.
Depending on the severity of the other bugs that we find, and when we
get a fix for our mouse related problems, we may or may not have
another experimental release before we drop in the much faster
blitter. Mat's been yanked around a lot of late, due to our need to
support 16 and 32 bits per pixel and our (hush hush) meeting this
week.

Yeah, I have noticed this same problem when I try to move a folder, but I
also encounter some error (cant remember the code it displays), this occures
if I try and drag the folder to a new location and while using the HFS_XFR
(OR however it is spelt). But other than that 1.99l is great...

I go on having trouble in ftping from USA, but when i do it
to Europe no trouble is present!
May be anyone would upload EXecutor l to any European ftp server?
For example:
ftp.funet.fi
src.doc.ic.ac.uk
ftp.switch.ch
ftp.sunet.se
On the other hand:
I have tried 199k and Word 5.1 with the noclock option, as
described in the appnotes but it hangs after a while.
I have tried too with -refresh, -applzone 4096 ...
Ideas?
And more questions for Cliff & company
Will E/D support sound (I think it would be easy with soundblaster)?
Will there be educational discount for E/D 2.0? (Say Yes and I'll purchase
