The file readme.9n5 explains what those two files contain. It's short enough that it's included below. I don't know when vorlon.mit.edu will mirror these files. --Cliff ctm@ardi.com ================================ readme.9n5 ================================= Installation instructions (assumes standard destinations): DOS: Replace C:\executor\executor.exe (i.e. in the directory in which you installed 1.99n -- you must have installed 1.99n first) with the executor.exe that is in dos199n5.zip. Linux: Replace /usr/local/bin/executor with the executor that is in linux199n5.tar.gz. You must have previously installed 1.99n. Run Executor, and check the lower left of the screen to be sure it says "1.99n5" These are the improvements that 1.99n5 *should* have over stock 1.99n: ======== Both ======== Using Cmd-Shift-5 to change the screen depth should no longer be ugly BBEdit Lite 3.0's preference panel should work PostScript created is much more correct n5 Cmd-Shift-3 will create a .tif screen dump n5 You can increase applzone up to 16 MB now ======== DOS Only ======== Should run under OS/2 Cursor shouldn't "paint screen" n5 Macintosh formatted CD-ROM drives up through Z: should work n5 CD-ROM and Network filesystems through Z: should work n5 Floppy formatting about 4 times faster on some systems ======== Linux Only ======== Should allow you to descend into mounted filesystems properly Shouldn't consume all of virtual memory n5 You should no longer need the "-invertedcursorbug" switch
