- Hi Folks,
-
- I've been sick off and on for the last six weeks. I haven't mentioned
- it too much, because it always looked like I was improving (kind of
- like one of those Escher staircases that allow you to think you're
- climbing up forever). It looks like I had flu which then got into my
- lungs and stayed there. I haven't run a fever since Tuesday, so I
- think that once more I'm on the mend.
-
- Anyway, I got way behind in my e-mail (which is why
- "questions@ardi.com" is a better address when it's appropriate) and am
- finally "almost" caught up. I believe I've responded to all e-mail
- that has been sent my way up to two weeks ago (everything I've
- received up to January 15). If you've sent something before that and
- haven't received an acceptable reply, feel free to send it again. If
- you sent something after that time, or you're not totally sure when
- you sent it, you might want to wait until Monday to see if I reply. I
- hope to be caught up with e-mail by Monday.
-
- In other news, we're aware that 1.99h has some severe compatibility
- problems with some graphics cards. We should be able to get anything
- that used to work prior to 1.99f to work again in 1.99i. I think it's
- now very rare that Executor/DOS will totally lock up your machine,
- although it's much more frequent that Executor will start ignoring
- mouse clicks and key presses altogether. We've also received a bunch
- of useful comments about our file browser. Mat is working on fixing
- the bugs described above. After I finish answering e-mail, I'll be
- collating a list of everything that we have to do
- (i.e. "showstoppers") and everything that we want to do ("wishlist")
- for 2.0 along with a projected time table.
-
- Although 1.99h has some exceedingly rough edges, we're actually fairly
- close to having all the fundamental/structural changes to Executor
- made that are needed for 2.0. We still have a few more features to
- add and a bunch of bug-fixes, but once Bill, Cotton, Mat and I are all
- working full-time again (there has been a lot of sickness and vacation
- time in the last couple of months), we should be able to make
- tremendous progress. Vaune too has been a little under the weather,
- we're looking forward to her being back in full health, since she is
- the person most responsible for keeping things running smoothly over
- here.
