- Actually, I'm not worried about the mass mailing - I'd just like
- a transmog file (even if it was officilly just an experimental version
- 1.2f (witness the similie in my Subject)...
-
- I'd rather see the money from a mass mailing go to finish
- Executor 2.0, and then get it to run system 7.5 (I can't wait for that -
- then Executor would hopefully look and feel EXACTLY like a Mac!)

- Sounds good. I'm thinking about a certain game "pararena" which
- was very usable under 1.2e but was hurt badly by the color quickdraw in
- 1.99x. It looked like the bitblt handling was slower (even in B&W mde).
-
- That and I seem to like B&W Macs (if only they made new ones
- which were FAST... The old 68000 macs are too slow for me... :)

- (Oh, no, another bug report...)
-
- I tried running the 1.99h demo under Linux, but it ate up 24 MB
- and went into UMSDOS swap space (it brought this system to it's knees!).
- This is a 486DX1/50 with 32 MB ram... I'm using Linux 1.1.83 and
- Slackware 2.1 with XFree 3.1. I'll try an earlier kernel and seeing what
- happens. If there's any option switch I can try, I'd do it...

- Thanks!
