-
- It seems to me that if a programmer really has his/her heart set at stopping
- Executor from running their program, they can easily do so. I am not sure
- that the ROM trick mentioned in a prior post will work or not given programs
- like MAE and platforms like PREP.
-
- With all due respect, it seems to me that Executor will have to sell a great
- deal more copies before it needs to worry about Apple (the most likely
- company to write an Anti-Executor routine in their program). If such a
- routine crops up, the user will then have to make the decision of whether
- the routine is there for a good reason, or a malicious one (viruses
- excepted). If this becomes a problem, a patch would seem pretty easy.
-
- Conversely, it seems like the ability for a program to identify Executor
- might offer the companies an easy way to implement simple work arounds where
- necessary.
