It is a potential show-stopper, so I'll see if we can reproduce it before Executor 2 goes beta. In the meantime, is it possible for you to capture the backtrace that Executor prints out when it crashes, or doe Executor just hang when you type too quickly?

Ken> E/D 1.99p5 DPMI memory limit 64mg (Warp) -nosplash -system7 Ken> -applzone 10M My guess is that on the Pentium you have less room available for virtual memory. I don't know how OS/2 does it, whether they have a fixed size page file or whether all available free disk space can be used for swapping, but with -applzone of 10m, you should be able to comfortably set your DPMI memory limit down to 24 MB and that may get rid of that message. There's a slight chance that if you adjust applzone down to 4m and your DPMI memory limit down to 12 MB that the problem you experience with fast typing will go away. If this is so, please let me know, since we'll have to figure out whether this is something that we do wrong or something that Warp does wrong and if it's the latter, whether or not there are ways we can work around this problem. We're trying our best to support Executor under Warp, but we still are relatively ignorant about Warp. Ken> Keep up the excellent work!
