- IMHO, freezing up in the middle of something just happens a lot by itself
- under DOS or win 3.1. I have tried the RISK demo on executor/Linux quite a
- few times (to figure out, by curiosity, how RISK works) and I have not
- seen it crash. The same can be said for the Ultimate Solitaire demo to
- which I have become addicted.. :) Have you tried a more recent executor
- version? You can get one at vorlon.mit.edu in /pub/ardi/
