- Hi guys!
-
- This is going to be my last post for a while (a week, i think), i ll go
-
- on Holidays, so, dont release new versions till i return ( 8-) )
-
-
-
- Well, those are the last errors i found in 1.99L (in fact there is only o=
- ne
-
- and a half). I dont think there would be more errors in 1.99L execept the=
-
-
- apps ones, so when I return i'll dedicate lots of time to try Commercial
-
- and Shareware well Known APPS. Do you have any preferences? From the apps=
- notes
-
- list i can test the following:
-
-
-
- Excel 4 Macdraw Norton Ut. 2.0
-
- Hypercard Maelstrom (Extensive texted) Prince of P. (demo)
-
- Freehand PageMaker 5 File Maker pro 2.1
-
- and ShareWare APPS in the MACWORLD CD NB1 Spanish version there are a =
-
-
- lot I cant test and upload What ever U want if U wanna test them too.

-
- 1.- When having an active window (and having opened it in the session,not=
-
-
- stored from past sessions), check for disks and use the hot band left
-
- or rights buttons to desplace between units (So U must have 5 HDs at star=
- t
-
- and then insert a DISK and check for files) Executor goes back to DOS
-
- (It's necessery to have the opened window active)
-
-
-
- To recreate follow this steps carefully:
-
- Make sure U have 5 HDs in the hot band and restart Executor
-
- Open one of these HDs from hot band and dont click anymoure
-
- Insert a MAC disk, so the left and right buttons of the hot
-
- band will be useful!
-
- Press ALT MAYS 2 and then (with the mouse) check for disk
-
- Making sure the window U opened before is active, click on
-
- the right or left button of the hot band and U'll be in
-
- DOS in a second
-
-
-
- By the way, doing this several times is a good way to corrupt the
-
- Filesystem!

- KEYBOARD ERROR (More a SERIOUS suggestion than a bug, but Maybe not!)

-
- I hope U consider there are people that dont have English as
-
- their native languaje. This is my case. Spanish keyboard has the =
-
-
- =A4 (pronounced enie), just right from the L, and accents and son on
-
- I dont know how the MACs manage this, but if Executor can't manage
-
- several languajes this could be bad for U (For example, in Spain nobody
-
- would buy E/D to work with, if they cant write their native languaje
-
- correctly) Please consider this.
-
-
-
- U can try it doing files like this
-
- Hardware code of Key:Asci Code to print =
-
-
- or something similar.
-
-
-
- Anyway, if U do this a way i can help i dont mind absolutely freely worki=
- ng
-
- on this or what ever U think i can help.

- QUESTIONS and Suggestions!
-
-
-
- You say in FAQs that after a hackathon period U will be working
-
- during six weeks in beta versions of 2.0. Will this beta version be
-
- available to the public (time limited demo) to help U with the beta test
-
- or not?
-
- Maybe U can say in FAQ that working with 800Kb MAC diskettes in
-
- a PC is phisically imposible due to Hardware! (No need response to that)
-
-
-
- When U say E/D will support Network support do U wanna mean:
-
- a) Using Ethernet CARD U ll conect throught and ETHERTALK net like a MAC
-
- and using normal MAC comms software
-
- b) Using serial port and with a PhoneNet adapter connect it to a normal
-
- Appletalk net (Optimal solution i think)
-
- c) Other (Please especify, i work moslty on Networks)
-
-
-
- Is there any other way as well as beta tester (and publicist)
-
- that i can help U with E/D? (I have personal reasons to that, not economi=
- cal =
-
-
- or other kind of reasons, and some free time to spend)
-
-
-
- And thats all, If nothing strange happens (For example, U answer this
-
- mail today) I'll post next on THursday next Week!!
-
-
-
- By the way, i like the ERNST icon!!! but i think U cant use the apple!
-
-
-
- Keep it Up guys!
