- We will allow people to download demos of Executor 2, but it won't be =
- fully functional. At Egghead the demos that they have are complete
- versions of the software, aren't they? If we can get Egghead to sell
- Executor then our agreement would probably require us to provide them
- with a certain number of complete copies that they can demo in their
- (approximately 200?) stores.
-
- I can't speak offcially, but the way I understand that it works, you =
- don't provide any, and we just open one up off the shelf and install it. =
- I MAY BE WRONG, after all, I am just a part time employee!
-
- Right. Once Executor 2 is a done deal and the Executor 2 demo is
- finalized then we'll make a lot of effort to get it onto other
- people's CD-ROMs and really make it easy for people to get.
-
- Are you going to continue with the downloadable version?
- Sure. We've known this for a long time, that's the whole point of =
- cleaning up Executor now and getting Executor 2 out the door. We have
- always meant Executor to be a commercial product sold through stores,
- but previous incarnations of Executor had just too many limitations to
- make stores want to sell them. It still may be a little tricky
- getting stores to sell Executor 2, but I think we have a good shot at
- it.

- run, w/o advanced Mac features, E/DOS is a wonderful product.

- You don't mention how much memory your 486 has. If it only has 8 MB,
- then using an 8 MB Applzone will require a lot of paging (very slow).
