Yahh!!! Featurs worth adding: 1) Have <command>-<shift>-<9> change the video mode to the correct mode AND repaint the screen. This is because windows NT does not restore the screen to the same video mode after switching back to executor from windows NT New Bugs: 1) Pressing <command>-<shift>-<1> brings up the 'about' box of executor that says what <command>-<shift>-<number> does but does not mention that number 7 will repaint the screen. 2) Executor does allow McDraw v1.1 to be entered and exited then reentered when running from dos. But if I enter windows (3.1) and exit windows then go into executor the FIRST time I try McDraw executor crashes with: Exiting due to signal SIGSEGV General Protection Fault at eip=000041f7 eax=0000022f ebx=001fadf0 ecx=00000000 edx=0000022f esi=000a00d7 edi=000af283 ebp=001f3548 esp=00003542 cs=00c7 ds=00b7 es=00d7 fs=022f gs=01f7 ss=00b7 Call frame traceback EIPs: 0x000041f7 The only way to enter McDraw is to reboot the machine 3) Sometimes when executor dies it displays the error message simaler to the one in bug #2 but it displayes it over and over again until finally it dies with a 'Divide by zero error' When capturing the output to a file the file is about 1/2 Meg. 4) When executor is run and is told to use more memory than it has (-applzone) then executor will die in places like: printing, printint setup, not loading McDraw more than once, and several other places that can't seem to be duplicated. Old bugs still waiting for a fix: 1) Backspacing in a text field in Mcdraw Visit my home page at: http://www.inf.net/~hawk e-mail: hawk@inf.net
