- I have tried Igor (a graphing, curv-fitting, mathematics program by
- WaveMetrics) working under executor on a 113 MHz Pentium running
- OS/2 Warp. It executes fine with a few execptions. The most important bug
- I have found so far is that it will crash executor if you click the
- command-line. The remarks with which executor exits are:
- ========================================================
- Exiting due to signal SIGSEGV
- General Protection Fault at eip=00754f1f
- eax=0032fe6a ebx=ffffbc14 ecx=00000000 edx=ffffffff esi=00522540 edi=ffffbc14
- ebp=00194dd0 esp=001d8798 cs=00d7 ds=00df es=00df fs=00b7 gs=00ff ss=00df
- Call frame traceback EIPs:
- 0x00754f1f
- ========================================================
- Also, when Igor starts it will ask you to recompile its help-file. That
- it also does up to topic 70 (appropriately the topic 'errors'), where it
- will complain about an error in the help-manager (error no. 39).
- I just thought I'd let you know. For the rest Igor seems to work just fine.
- Executor under OS/2 Warp also seems to enjoy itself and, on the Pentium,
- it feels faster than any mac I have ever seen.
-
- I have also tried two shareware games, bloodsuckers and scruffy II. The
- first doesn't work at all, it gives the following error dialog:
- =================================================
- emustubs.c:2277
- fatal error in '_Unimplemented'
- Unimplemented Trap (most recent = 0xAAA1)
- =================================================
- with as only option 'Abort', which will effectively exit executor with a
- lot of goofy codes.
- Scruffy will start up (with the screen in 4 bit mode), and you can select
- a new game, but then the program freezes and the mouse will move, but its
- trace will stay on the screen (i.e. the areas under the mouse aren't
- redrawn). The only option left seems to be to exit and restart executor.
- Which brings me the question if it is possible to quit a program running
- under executor or executor itself in a friendly way.
-
- Keep up the good work!!!
