I haven't registered for executor yet (plan to soon, I was waiting to see what 1.99n was like first) so I ftp'd 1.99n from vorlon.mit.edu, installed it (BTW I like the makefile installation procedure), and fired it up. I get the splash screen and hit "demo" and then watched my xsysinfo swap usage indicator grow and grow and GROW. Finally I just killed the process. Thinking that perhaps incompatible bits of 1.99m were left hanging around after installing 1.99n over the top of it, rm'd the entire executor install tree and installed 1.99n clean and fresh with the same final results. So, like I said I am planning to register right away and I would be more than happy help ARDI focus on squashing this bug. I imagine it really is something having to do with kernel 1.2.10. Tonight I'll switch back to 1.2.8 and also to 1.2.11 (or 1.2.12 if such an update comes out later today) to try to narrow this down a bit. I running on a 486/66 with 16 Megs, ATI Mach32 Graphics UltraPro with 2 Megs, and Slackware 2.3.0. And while I'm at it, I'd like to take this opportunity to offer my most profuse thanks and praise to ARDI for such a killer product! (my probelms with 1.99n notwithstanding). Sincerely, Tom
