- ftp.ardi.com now contains 1.99q for DOS, Linux and NEXTSTEP, but
- because ftp.ardi.com is so slow, I highly recommend you pick it up
- from vorlon.mit.edu or wait a day and pick it up from one of the other
- mirrors.
-
- This is a complete new experimental version. There is a new browser
- and we've replaced the Lemmings Demo with an "Oh No! More Lemmings"
- Demo, since the latter has sound effects and music under Executor (DOS
- and Linux only).
-
- This is likely to be the last release we can make before MACWORLD
- Expo, since we will be leaving Albuquerque on the 6th of January.
-
- If we don't hear of any showstoppers in 1.99q in the next 24 hours,
- we'll upload 1.99q to the major DOS site (SimTel), the major Linux
- sites (sunsite, tsx-11) and the major NEXTSTEP sites (?orst + sonata?)
- and the major on-line services (CompuServe, AOL). NOTE: We haven't
- put a NEXTSTEP version on a non-ARDI site in a long time. It will be
- interesting to see what sort of reception we get in the NEXTSTEP
- community.
-
- Thank you for supporting us in 1995. Since we started the year with a
- very solid framework (that's taken us years to build), we were able to
- make more external progress in 1995 than we apparently made in the
- eight years previous to that. We hope that in 1996 we'll be able to
- provide more native ports (Windows '95 and OS/2), more features
- (networking and serial port access) and greater compatibility (both at
- the application level and also at the Apple system software level).
- We have the knowledge; we have the code framework; we have the
- debugging tools, and most importantly we have a stable of top-notch
- engineers that we'll get on board, once Executor 2 is generating some
- revenue. We still have to finalize our packaging and go through a
- real beta period, but we'll be able to do that as soon as we get back
- from San Francisco.
-
- Happy New Year.

- I have recently run across several file handling errors with Executor.
- 1] executor seems to have problems with directories that end in a period
- ("."). For example, if I use a directory called "MacEqns." then I am
- (often) unable to store any files inside without getting some error.
-
- 2] Often after running CompactPro a few times, I start getting file
- error messages. These messages go away after quitting Executor and
- starting again.
-
- Great program though...

- Try comp.sys.amiga.emulations newsgroup. ShapeShifter is the
- Amiga Mac emulator. It runs System 7.x and uses Mac 512k/1meg
- ROMs for emulation... Much much much nicer than Executor simply
- because it uses the actual Mac ROMs.
