- I've been finding that about 80% of the hangs I see here in E/D ware
- caused by the browser app in Executor/DOS, usually just before it creates
- the shortcut icons in the icon bar, or just before it displays the
- contents of a folder.
-
- Most freezes occur during the startup sequence, and I've found that
- sometimes I have to restart E/D 5-6 times (and have it freeze 5-6 times)
- before it is successfully able to read and display the desktop.
-
- Hopefully this is being (or will be) addressed before the real release
- of Executor, as the shell should *not* be the source of problems. It
- makes it frustrating when I'm trying to test a program here because I
- often can't get far enough into Executor to START a new program!
-
- FWIW, this occurs on two separate installations of 1.99Q here, and on
- two different operating systems (PC-DOS 6.3 and OS/2 Warp 3.0 w/FP 17).

- Additionally, I have a problem with Executor not liking the number of files
- I have set in the environment. It tells me that the minimum requirement is
- FILES=30. NO MATTER WHAT I SET THE FILES TO I GET THE ERROR unless I turn
- off the files check on the command line when starting Executor.
