- What is the status of this particular product (the HyperCard Player that
- only allows level 1-3)?
-
- I've found at least one place on the web where it's been made available
- for download, but want to find out if it's supposed to be distributed?
-
- In any case, the few stacks I've tried to run with it work, more or less,
- which is a good sign.

- I've been playing with a number of programs under Executor/DOS, and I
- think I've found some that seem to work (at least to a usable extent).
-
- I know that Jered Floyd is maintaining a web page of apps, and I will
- submit these to his page eventually, but part of the problem is I have
- no idea where I obtained most of these or what their original filenames
- are (I have several BBS and commercial file sources that wouldn't be
- useful for net users, many filenames had to be converted to 8.3 to get
- them onto my FAT machine, and some came off a CD-ROM games collection
- and might not be around online at all).
-
- Eventually I'll be submitting these to Jered's page with *real* text
- descriptions and (hopefully) links to the files (*assuming I finally
- find each of the shareware/freeware files on the net somewhere).
-
- At any rate, here's the list so far. I've been looking at graphics
- programs and games, mostly. Sorry that I don't have/provide filenames
- or sources, but intelligent seraching on Info-MAC or Filepile or other
- web sites or FTP sites should be possible given a program name.

- LogicWorks 3.0 loads and runs just fine except that after a number of
- menu selections have been added to the menu bar, they dissapear while the
- program is still loading and then the last couple of menu items are added
- at the beginning of the menu bar starting where the apple logo used to be.
- Does anyone know the problem? It is frustrating to be so close to having
- something you need work! BTW, I just want to say that Executor is a
- tremendous piece of software... keep up the excellent work!

- The Quix project is for the RISC-based PC's (PREP). I think it emulates
- the Mac ROMs and uses the PowerPC processor in the PC to do the actual
- processor work, no emulation involved except for some low-level
- Mac-specific stuff. It's basically a port, not 100% emulation. Clever.

- I suppose this is germane here: Can you please do floppies as well? We
- laptop folk may have a hard time finding an accessible CD-ROM drive. Or
- I suppose ARDI could include a free PCMCIA CD-ROM drive for all laptop
- users, but that doesn't seem in the firm's best interests. I could be
- wrong.
-
- (Perhaps you could put the CD's contents on a password-protected site,
- at least briefly? I suppose you couldn't include HFVs on floppies, but
- those would be all shareware, and hence electronically distributable,
- wouldn't they? The better to be updated?)
