- ftp.ardi.com:/pub/BleedingEdge/vesafix.zip is a replacement for E/D
- 1.99n's executor.exe that should fix a few problems. This version is
- highly experimental, and is *NOT* a full replacement for Executor
- 1.99n; it merely replaces one of 1.99n's files.
-
- These fixes will of course be merged into the next full release of
- Executor, but we thought we'd make some of the fixes available early
- so that the diehard experimenters out there can play with it.
- Feedback on the "bleeding edge" versions will help 1.99o be more
- stable than it would otherwise have been, but anything in the
- "BleedingEdge" directory won't be tested very well.

- vesafix.zip -- A replacement E/D 1.99n executor.exe that fixes:
- 1) Mach64 and some other video boards only
- allow 4 bits per pixel when a VBE 2.0 video
- driver is used [the fix is untested, since
- ARDI's machines don't exhibit this problem,
- but it should work].
- 2) Cycling through desktop patterns causes a crash.
- 3) Cursor "paints" the screen (not a full fix;
- you also need to set the browser to "animation"
- mode with alt-shift-5 and save it).
- 4) Executor 1.99n crashes right away under
- OS/2 Warp.
