Did I Dick> miss that or did it go by the boards? We're about two revs behind. 1.99m had so many browser problems that 1.99n was largely devoted to fixing those. However, we did add a little functionality -- the ability to access more than C: under DOS -- and that was sufficiently broken that we had to get 1.99o out the door. Mat was in the middle of the NEXTSTEP port when our first "hackathon" started -- this is where Cotton flys out from Boston and we work totally on improving compatibility between Executor and various applications, since it's possible to get some things more easily done with three engineers all in one room than with two in Albuquerque and one in Boston. Cotton's plane tickets were bought in advance, so we had to stop work on the NEXTSTEP port and run the hackathon on time. Mat will be back to work on the NEXTSTEP port in 11 days. --Cliff ctm@ardi.com
