I downloaded the Beta version of Executor and would like to say that it is
VERY nice. The splash screen is great, and the browser enhancements make it
much more appealing.

I have been trying to get ResExpress to work with Exewcutor for a while,
since ResEdit isn't stable and Resourcerer won't save anything. When I
dragged it to the Hot Band, it installed and I ran it from the Browser. It
looked as though it was going to work fairly well. When I tryed to configure
it from the menu it gave me a Privilege Violation and exited to the Browser
(which is better than crashing as it did in previous versions). Then, after
exiting Executor and running it again, I tried to run ResExpress again. This
time it crashed right away w/o any message. When I tried to remove it from
the Hot Band, it was not there. So I tried to delete the Sytem.ard file and
it gave me a screwed-up dialog box saying "This file has no resource fork,
would you like to create one?" Then if you select YES it asks you to rename a
file (which it doesn't actually do). So I can't delete the System.ard file
and will have to reinstall Executor.

I know you weren't going to fiddle with Font/DA support until after Beta0
ships, but I thought this would help you.

Great job on Executor! It looks a lot better.
