I agree wholeheartedly, and I hope that this is close to the top of things to work on after 2.0 ships. I have many Mac programs on my BBS, and I'd love to try them, escpecially a freeware RIP terminal I have. Heck, maybe for fun I'll get a Mac BBS software and run it under Executor under DOS ...... BTW - Another possibility, one whcih probably won't be too popular but would be fun and nice to do, is to make Executor it's own OS so I can have a real Mac partition on my hard disk (laptop) so I wouldn't need DOS underneath. --------------------------------------------------- Pat Gunn, of Team OS/2, Libertarian party, and the Internet.
