My problem is that I mostly use Executor for supporting my friends that have Macs. I have Internet access, they don't. This means much file moving and copying. Other than moving files, serial port support would be the most useful for me (for PPP). I would like to also use it to program, but most languages I've found require System 7 or an FPU. There are a few exceptions though, some useful. I will upload them to ftp://robot.asimov.net/pub/HFV (the HFV archive) when I have configured them properly. Probably the best of these is MacMETH, a Modula-2 system partly written by Wirth himself. Sorry, but I'm not a big C fan (I'm good at it though), so I'm not testing that language. C'est la vie... >It's not clear what functionality we'll add before we release 2.0. >When 2.0 is released we'll make the source to Browser freely >available, so futher customization can be done outside of ARDI. Glad to hear it. What language/compiler do you use to make Browser? > --Cliff > ctm@ardi.com Brian Hawley bhawley@luc.edu
