- Hi,
-
- Just yesterday, Linus Torvalds was here at MIT giving a talk. He had
- made mention of DOSEMU, Wine, and the iBCS2 compatibility on Linux, but
- he did not mention Executor, which I think is close to the level of
- DOSEMU in stability. Executor could be a big winner with Linus if it
- can run PowerPoint since he did his slides in PowerPoint for Windows
- and was complaining having to switch and such and how Wine isn't quite
- up to it. Don't know if he gives a lot of talks (don't think he does)
- but he could be good publicity.
-
- On a second note, just as a wish, since I am on the internet and I have
- AFS, I can access the AFS archive of Mac programs at mac.archive.umich.edu.
- They also have a unpacked "natural" version of the archive which can
- be "mounted" as an AppleShare volume. It'd be nice if I could be able
- to run all of thier shareware/freeware programs directly off there just
- to test them out. I don't think that a large portion of your market
- quite has the accessibility that we enjoy here so it probably isn't
- something you are working on, but separate from the networking, is the
- AppleShare "filesystem" format supported? (all these .AppleDouble
- directories, seems like if it could look for .AppleDouble/filename
- rather than %filename then everything would work fine for me...).
-
- Thanks.
