He used 5 offline volumes. The first one is tricky, because it only happens under Executor/DOS, but I prefer to debug under Executor/Linux. The last one may be tricky too, since it is probably a bug in Bill's code, but he can't reproduce it on a Mac, so it's in my hands now. Offhand, I'd guess these three bugs will take me about a day to fix, and putting together Linux and DOS versions of 1.99m will take me another day. We'll want to test these versions fairly well, especially since 1.99l had so many bugs, so the earliest you can expect them to be released would probably be Sunday. There's a chance that our new 16-bpp and 32-bpp code will also be included in 1.99m, and we're hoping for a newer version of cwsdpmi that fixes a problem that occasionally occurs when you move the mouse while paging, but neither of those additions are guaranteed to be in 1.99m. Mat's fast blitter is definitely *not* in 1.99m, since Mat spent much time fixing many of 1.99l's bugs instead of working on the new blitter. In other news, MACup, the largest Macintosh magazine in Germany, just ran a story on us, and we're consequently getting a lot of German interest. If 1.99m really is as stable as it appears to be, we'll start ramping up the ARDI propaganda machine by sending disks to various editors worldwide and making the demo available from major on-line service providers. As always, thanks for your interest. --Cliff ctm@ardi.com
