- I've just finished putting Executor-DEMO2.tar in:
-
- unmvax.cs.unm.edu pub/ardi/DEMO
- nova.cc.purdue.edu pub/next/submissions
- cs.orst.edu pub/next/submissions
-
- If you currently have Executor and you pick up the DEMO, you'll see
- some major changes with respect to the UNIX filesystem, primarily:
-
- Executor now sees the entire UNIX filesystem
-
-
- Macintosh formatted floppies inserted after Executor has begun
- running are available for reading from, writing to, or executing
- off of
-
-
- Apple Filesystems that are mounted with any product that uses
- "Apple Double" format will automatically be handled correctly,
- meaning you can read/write and execute directly off your Mac
- disks if you are running NFS Share or something similar (but
- the DEMO copy is still extremely limited in what it will run)
-
-
- Double-clickable ".appl" files
-
- In addition, this version has different kernel mods than what the
- previous DEMO had. In an effort to prevent stale information, I have
- removed the "ardimods.s" file from unmvax.cs.unm.edu:pub/ardi/Source.
- If you want the new kernel mods you can either extract them from the
- DEMO (which I suggest you get, even if you own a copy of Executor;
- you can give the DEMO away to curious friends) or send me e-mail and
- I can send them to you, or you can wait for V1.2, which really is
- worth the wait (we still have a little new printing functionality to
- add and HFS_XFer is getting a tremendous workover, but mostly it's
- just bug-fixes).
-
- If you're on the beta list for Executor-V1.2, rest assured I made a
- new copy last night; I just had too many hassles with the machine
- that we do our mailing through to get it out. It will go out tonight
- or on Saturday.
