Logitech, for a while now, has been shipping a driver called CLOAKING.EXE with their mice, that loads a stub of itself somewhere and then allows you to load the mouse driver into high memory. With Executor 1.99q, attempting to run when CLOAKING.EXE is loaded causes a quick and fatal crash under DOS. The obvious workaround is to not load CLOAKING, which is easy to do with boot menus. However, I figured the folks at Ardi might want to know about this. My apologies if this is already documented and I missed it.

Executor does not emulate an FPU, so any software which requires an FPU will not work under Executor. We will probably add FPU emulation someday, but not in time for Executor 2.

Disk Copy Fast (Available at ftp.cdrom.com/pub/simtel/msdos/diskutil) fit the bill and read the image without complaining too much. I have verified that it wrote back correctly to another (dos formatted) disk without a problem.. There might be others out there that work, but out of the ones I have only DCF worked properly. It complains at first about the boot sector being messed up, but you can tell it to ignore the error and continue reading the disk. I forgot exactly what the problem was before when someone was posting about getting disk images of Mac formatted disks, so this may not help at all, but I'm sure someone can put this information to use.
