- Environment:
- E/L 1.99q9 running under FreeBSD 2.1R (XFree86 3.1.1)
- 486DX4/100, pretty typical system with SCSI drive (Adaptec 1542CP
- controller), 16 MB RAM
- Running MSWord 5.1a in the Executor environment
-
- *NOTE* This is a FreeBSD system. I wish I had a linux system to test it
- on, but unfortunately hardware is scarce in this household. If any kind
- soul out there who has Linux, Executor, and MSWord has a few free clock
- cycles and wouldn't mind testing this to see if it is a real bug or not,
- please do so, I'd appreciate it greatly.
-
- Anyway, here's the bug: I was working on a file, and saved it as "FAQ-
- Running Executor under FreeBSD". AFAIK this is a valid Mac filename, and
- Word didn't complain because it allowed me to save under that name. Ok,
- so the file is there (I checked). I shutdown my computer because it was
- bedtime.
-
- I got up the next morning and decided to continue working on this file (I
- wasn't done yet). I fired up Executor and ran MSWord. I went to the
- "File...Open" dialog and tried to retrieve the file. BUT IT DID NOT
- APPEAR IN THE "OPEN FILE" DIALOG BOX. I popped open a UNIX shell window
- and did an ls. It's not my imagination; the file really did exist.
- Weird. Furthermore, the file appeared under the MSWord "last <x>
- documents" list, and I am able to select it there and the file DOES
- open.
-
- I then looked in Browser, and the file DID NOT APPEAR IN THE BROWSER
- WINDOWS EITHER.
-
- FYI the file was saved in the UNIX filesystem, NOT in a "hfv" file. I
- tried saving this file in a HFV file, and I got the error "Disk not
- found" from MSWord.
-
- There's either one of three things wrong here:
-
- a) "FAQ- Running Executor under FreeBSD" is NOT a valid Mac filename, and
- either Word and/or Executor was at fault in NOT telling me "hey, that's
- not a good filename" when I saved it.
- b) "FAQ- Running Executor under FreeBSD" IS a valid filename, and
- something is wrong with Executor's filesystem handling code or something.
- c) This is a FreeBSD-specific problem, and does not happen under other
- Executors (i.e. running under real Linux, or DOS, or whatnot). This
- is why I would be very grateful if someone who has a Linux or other
- system could test this for me.
-
- Enclosed please find a TAR file containig the bad file I mentioned. As
- stated, this is a MSWord 5.1a document.
-
- Thank you for your assistance.
