I've read a few postings here about playing Marathon with Executor, but I
just haven't been able to get this to work.  I've tried both E/D and E/L,
and both suffer from this strange problem where the screen goes into 1bit
color mode, making the menus impossible to see.  I can use then prefs.
panel to shift them back to 256 (in DOS anyway, my E/L ignores this at
this point, I don't think it's accepting stuff from the keybd.), but the
pallette is all wrong.  I can then pull up the menus, change stuff, etc.
Click on OK, and celebrate, becuase it fixed the palette, and things look
awesome.  Then I hit play, and it crashes.  In E/D, I just get a DOS
prompt, and E/L seg faults. (Or, if I stay in 1bit color, sometimes It'll
quit back to the browser.)  I've tried this both with and without
refresh, and using various applzone sizes, including 12000 as suggested
by a previous poster.

HELP!
