If you have Windows 95(Mac84) and can't wait for the Windows 95 version of Executor, these programs might help.: "ShoveIt" Fixes the bug in Windows 95 that causes the tops of windows to be covered up when you have the Taskbar at the top of the screen like a Mac. ftp://members.aol.com/phord/shoveit3.zip "QuickTime for Windows 95"(32-bit) http://quicktime.apple.com/qt/sw/licensew.html "StuffIt Expander for Windows"(16-bit) ftp://ftp.scruz.net/users/aladdin/public/SITEX10.EXE These programs would useful for ARDI and people waiting for the Windows 95 version of Executor.: "WinMac96" A program that puts an almost finished Macintosh Menu Bar on your Windows 95 desktop.

P.S.S.S. I tried the following two pinball programs by Starplay under Executor/DOS 2.0b1.: Crystal Caliburn Pinball and Loony Labyrinth Pinball. Both of them worked perfectly (with sound even!). However, Executor crashed with one of those dreaded General Protection Fault errors when I clicked on Insert Coin, and Loony Labyrinth seemed to be working alright also, and Executor even stayed up when I clicked on Insert Coin, but it also crashed after I tried to play the game. -- Do you believe in Macintosh?
