- Are you still using the old black-and-white v1.2 (or v1.0?) version?
-
- Man, have we got news for you! :-) Executor has been FLYING over the
- past (...more than...) several moons, and the current version (1.99Q and
- bleeding edge variants) runs at 1024x768x256 here, has sound support,
- and will run color games like Glypha III complete with sound.
-
- I think you need to upgrade to a real up-to-date version.

-
- I routinely move MAc-formatted 1.44MB diskettes between my PC at home
- and my Mac IIci at work using Executor to manipulate them on the PC
- side. Sounds like you're having a fairly serious hardware or software
- problem if you're not able to do floppies on v1.99x versions... :-(
