- Hi Chad,
-
- What happened is that we had an agreement with some investors to provide us
- with a certain amount of money in a certain amount of time, or so we thought.
- We eventually got the money, but it wasn't when we thought it would be, so
- the most opportune time for us to build a copy of 1.3 and send it to all our
- existing 1.x customers came and went without us having the capital necessary
- to do the duplication and mass mailing.
-
- On the other hand, many of the things that made 1.99x less attractive than
- what would have been 1.3 have either already been fixed, or will be fixed
- soon. I can't speak about the games, but the Word bug that you mention is
- well known and should be fixed for 1.99i. If we hadn't had so much sickness
- and vacation time over the last couple months, it would be fixed by now.

- I remember a few months ago there were plans to merge the
-
- executor 1.2e source tree with the new synthetic CPU, and release a
-
- version 1.3.
-
- I'd still like to have a copy of 1.3 (if it's possible to make
-
- one...). I'm wondering why it hasn't been released (IMHO, some stuff
-
- such as word 5.0 and some games ran better or more reliabily under 1.2e
-
- than 1.99x and I'd like to see that merged with the fast CPU!)
-
- I think the original B&W video code is a bit faster under some
-
- applications than the color one, and I'd like to be able to use both.
-
- (My problem with Word 5.0 is that after some dialogs the UI
-
- crashes - this is under 1.99h, and it's the About Word and the Summary
-
- Info dialog. The system just hangs after those, but Alt-Shift-5 still
-
- works.)
-
- Thanks!
