- Hi there. The 1.99n4 and n5 fixed that problem. The only graphics
- problem Executor has now is some snow on the left edge of the screen,
- like during the startup of Lemmings. I have been ignoring it, but you
- might prefer not to.

- Previous versions of Executor just hung at startup when run with DPMS
- active. Version 1.99n5 now does a cold reboot at that point.
