Colour Quickdraw most definitely runs under Executor, *but* see below.

Some programs get confused by things that Executor does (or doesn't do) that a real Mac won't do. Sometimes they get so confused that they print error messages that are not particularly appropriate. Either that is happening, or Jetpack is doing something unexpected to determine whether or not we have Color QuickDraw. Philip> If it is possible, can I get a copy of it via Anonymous Philip> FTP.

I *think* you're asking where to pick up Color QuickDraw. Executor *will not* work with the old 32-bit color quickdraw init, but it does have a color quickdraw equivalent built in. The conflict between Executor and JetPack will have to be fixed over here (ARDI). I've just started pulling it over and will give it a spin in a few minutes, in between answering e-mail. Internally we can now run with the switch "-system 7" and are beginning to be able to run programs that *require* System 7. NIH Image 1.58 is limping and we're making great progress on a bunch of other big-ticket applications. BTW, yesterday I thought I'd get my e-mail box cleaned out -- I was dreadfully wrong. I wound up getting tired sooner than I thought and so I still have about 65 e-mail messages to reply to. I'm getting there though and I *think* I'll be awake for several more hours. --Cliff ctm@ardi.com
