- Well, these problems aren't really just with 1.99n, they're with 1.99m
- and my own computer, too. 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.
