I had the same problem as Alex. ie, system lock up in dos, was able to terminate the program through win95.

Adding -nosound fixed the problem.

So, what does this mean and are there other alternatives,  what kind of soundcard did you write for?

They have a liscence agreement set up with Apple.

What happened is that Apple finally noticed that that market was being swamped
with IBM compatible machines, and decided to try a fascinating "too little,
too late" strategy of allowing specfic other companies to produce Apple
compatible machines.

I'm not sure when the experience we've seen time and again will finally
become common knowledge: proprietary systems and computers just
_dont_ _mix_.

I have had problems with E/D 1.99p-p9 running HyperCard. I also
tried ResEdit, even though I know it doesn't work.
I had been running Executor with a command line option of
-system 7.1, which, apparently was causing the problem. I just
tried setting it back to the default of 6.0.7 with E/D 1.99q,
and now HyperCard runs fine. ResEdit runs (yes!) except I cannot
open up snd resources. Executor makes me "restart."

Anybody know why this is a problem?

I also just got access to the newsgroup, and I am wondering why
it took so long.

I hope this is useful-

Seems to run Quicken 5 fine except for the button bar across the top.

Not a showstopper, but definitely an eye catcher.


Thanks for the awesome work,

Yay.  Glad to hear it.

    John> Thanks for the awesome work,

Cotton is hard at work on fixes that will allow Quicken 6 and a bunch
of other apps to run.  These apps all currently bypass the AppleEvent
API and munge AppleEvent data structures directly. Ick.  Cotton has a
tough job in front of him.

Hello Everyone,

    I am useing Executor on a Windows 95 PC.  Everything that came
with it seems to work fine.  I can access all my folders with the long
name support just great.  My big malfunction is the .hqx extension does
not allow me to run a program.  I converted some binary files with the
BinHex program that came with Executor, and all I can do is look at the
'text' of the file with the text editor.  How do I set the file to
execute???  This is the same with files that I FTP down to my PC.
    I have not registered yet (I am waiting on my checking account
to be set up) and the 10 minute time out is limiting my ability to work
with Executor to get this working.  It takes almost 2 minutes to start
it up each time.  I am looking at the clock the whole time so I can exit
without loosing all my progress.  Would ARDI release a version with a
little longer time limit?  I can understand them not wanting
unregistered software out there, this is not shareware, but it is being
distributed in that manner...  I am very reluctant to register a program
I don't have time to test fully.  Maybe they can disable most of the
nice features or put in lots of nag screens.  At least then I could test
out some things before it crashes violently on me...
    Thanks for the help.

Nate
