Executor was first released for NEXTSTEP three years ago. ARDI was doing well selling on that platform until NeXT suddenly stopped making NeXT hardware. We had to temporarily shift our emphasis from Executor/NEXTSTEP to Executor/DOS (which is where the money is) and Executor/Linux (which is where we do our development). For a long time our NEXTSTEP customers were left without new versions of Executor to use, and 1.99q will be the first experimental NEXTSTEP version to be released. As part of the porting process, we changed the format of our serial numbers and keys and as such, we have to reassign S/N and keys to all our NEXTSTEP customers. So, in the meantime, we publicly released a Executor/NEXTSTEP key that was good for all of October (and then a new key that was good for all of November) that anyone can use to unlock Executor/NEXTSTEP between now and when we finally get everyone their new keys. We really thought we'd get this done in October, and then we thought we'd get it done in November, but, as you can see, things slipped, so we had to issue a new key. Whew! --Cliff ctm@ardi.com
