Riley" <riley@umr.edu> Subject: Wow! I'm impressed! Sender: owner-paper@nacm.com Precedence: bulk I just fired up executor 1.99p6 on my 486DX4-100 (12MB RAM) and tried it out. Being a flight sim nut, I d/l the Hornet 2.0 demo for Mac/PowerMac. It installed fine and started great (after I adjusted the applzone to 6MB). The only problem was the lack of font support which made some of the text unreadable. When I went to the flight part of the demo I was in for a shock. No slide-show here folks! Can you believe 8-10 fps from an emulator running a Mac game? Wow! Great job ARDI! BTW I tried MS Flight Sim 4.0 for the Mac and it was about 1.5 sec/frame, unplayable. This Hornet demo really flies (pun intended :) though. However, when I exited the demo, executor bombed with a gpf. Go figure, :^) I'll be lookin' for you in the future ARDI! Regards, William L.
