- I never used to have this problem with Executor, but now I get annoying
- error messages of the Disk I/O error variety. This is true of 1.99q for
- DOS, and at least one executable revision before it... I saved a copy of
- the 1.99p7 executable and if I swap it in place of 1.99q the floppy
- read/write works perfectly.
-
- The errors are pretty instantaneous... as soon as I try to copy, no matter
- what disk I use. I'll be keeping my copy of 1.99p7 around until this bug
- clears up.
