- Hi Folks,
-
- ftp.cs.unm.edu:/pub/ardi/Executor_DOS contains two files: exldisk1.zip
- and exldisk2.zip. If you take these files over in binary and then
- unzip their contents onto separate floppies, you'll have a two floppy
- installation disk set that will install Executor/DOS 1.99l.
-
- Alternatively, you can unzip their contents onto your hard drive and
- install directly from there (this feature was not present in 1.99k).
-
- However, we haven't done very much testing of the complete 1.99l
- package because we ran into so many snags putting it together. We've
- tested all the snags and we've done a bunch of testing before all the
- files were frozen as "l", but there's a lot of room for mistakes. If
- we didn't know that we already have a bug in our DPMI provider, we'd
- have shaken 1.99l out more thoroughly and then sent it to CompuServe,
- AOL, various magazines, etc.
-
- Alas, we were not able to fix the DPMI provider bug, so 1.99l is still
- not acceptable to distribute as widely as we'd like. We are also
- exploring problems with mouse drivers, which may or may not be the
- same bug.
-
- BTW, ftp.ardi.com also carries exldisk[12].zip, but its connection to
- the net is *SLOW*, so I recommend ftp.cs.unm.edu:/pub/ardi.
-
- Executor/Linux 1.99l is probably a day or two away. Everything is
- ready to be packaged up and sent out, but I need to get some sleep,
- and an important person is flying in this evening and it's not clear
- how much development we can do while he's here.
