When I loaded version 1.99m on my machine, all of the programs that came with it worked fine, but it wouldn't recognize the volumes I created. (.HFV files in the C:/EXECUTOR directory) But when I zipped up my entire EXECUTOR directory and tried it on a different machine, all of the volumes showed up. This was weird, and I got so frustrated that I figured I'd just wait for 1.99n. I got that (at about 1:30 am today) and installed it. Since volumes had been a problem for me before, the first thing I did was make a test volume and load up executor. It didn't show up. Trying different things, I renamed EXDEMOS.HFV to ABC.000 so it wouldn't load. _THEN_ my test volume showed up. I experimented with that for a while and came to the conclusion that the number of .HFV volumes recognizable had a firm limit of two. (This is just for me. I'm waiting for other people to tell me that it works for them.) Through some shuffling, I managed to get all of the system stuff into a 4 meg volume, and I copied all the demos to a 20 meg volume. Then I tried to load some software. BinHex gave me a "file system error -42" message or something. CompactPro and StuffitLite also gave weird errors. I have a suspicion that it's just me and that E/D 1.99n should work perfectly for everyone else, but I wish somebody out there could help me figure out what I've got going wrong.
