- Hmmm... previous versions of TattleTech have run.

- Yes, a high (but post E2) priority now that everyone is starting to

- Not quite the same thing, but you can select a file or folder and then
- hit the Delete button. I don't know if this shortcut is documented
- anywhere, but it works.

- I too would like this, but it won't be done in the near future. On
- the other hand, we'll be releasing the source to browser fairly soon.

- ditto.

- We have new icons for Broswer (they were contributed by Jon Abbott and
- Emilio Moreno). We won't be supplying a Windows icon for Executor,
- although many people use the Apple that's in the standard Windows
- distribution.

-
- Infected? I don't think there is any documented case of an infected
- program spreading under Executor although I do believe someone has
- seen an infected program crash under Executor -- disinfecting the
- program made it run.
