Great work guys! It runs Daniel> very nicely on my linux 486-50 CirrusVLB. Thanks. Glad to know that a 486-50 is fast enough to run it; we've cheated and used 90 MHz Pentiums.

I won't look into this bug until after Executor 2 is out, but the Stuffit problem is fixed in 1.99p6, so feel free to give that a try. I did log this bug though.

I fixed a bunch of keymapping problems in 1.99p6, but the telde/backtick key wasn't one of them. I'll make this a critical/high problem and look into it fairly soon.
