- Ardi,
-
- Cricket Graph III used to just die under executor, causing a segfault
- (on linux). With 1.99q, it now displays a dialog saying "unknown trap
- selector '250' in trap 'ScriptUtil' trapno 'A8B5'. Hope this helps.

- I think you have to format the disk with DOS to do the low-level format. PC
- and Mac disks share a low-level format, I think, so executor must only do
- the logical formatting.

-
- Maybe. Here's the deal: PC Exchange puts the data fork of the mac file
- wherever you drag it on the PC disk, and creates a "resource.frk" folder
- into which it puts all of the resource data. Executor uses an older--written
- by Apple, damn them--standard which puts the resource fork in the same
- directory as the data fork, but with a "%" prepended to the file name. What
- you'd need to do would be to
- 1) copy the files to a PC disk
- 2) create a "resource.frk" directory
- 3) move the %-files to that directory
- 4) delete the %-sign
- 5) make sure the two files have the same name in the dos 8.3
- character name.
-
- It might work.
