- Sender: owner-paper@nacm.com
- Precedence: bulk
-
- There is a good article in the October, 1995 edition of Macworld on Quix
- Computer's emulator which allows a genuine copy of the Mac OS to operate on
- PReP based systems. The article is five pages long and does a nice job of
- describing the system and the problems that the company is having with
- Apple. (They are trying to get an OS license from Apple, and Apple is
- saying no).
-
- The article also refers to a Quix WWW location, HTTP://WWW/QUIX.CH. Since
- this post is a little off subject, I will keep it short.
-
- On another subject...
-
- I think that Cliff's shareware CD-ROM is a great idea. Might I make two
- related suggestions:
-
- (1) also suggest a small DOS (Linux) subdirectory containing useful
- DOS/Linux utilities aimed at the Executor users, (e.g. programs
- aimed at fixing AOL downloads, VESA 2.0 emulators, etc.; and,
-
- (2) helpful Mac utilities that can be used on a real Mac to make
- Executor easier to use, e.g.
- programs helpful at transferring programs from real Macs to
- Executor (e.g. programs which will split and reassemble
- single files over 1.44 megs)
-
- I know you have a great deal of work, but I think arming the customer for
- this problems reduces complaints and tech support hours for you. I think a
- small section in print in your manual will help. Most of the people who are
- buying Executor now are very computer literate. Your post 2.0 customers may
- be school teachers with far less knowledges.
