-
- Just make a batch script and you can have that script start up
- anything you want. You can specify a program to run on the command
- line, and you can specify documents that such a program should open on
- the command line, too.
-
- C:\> executor System:Utilities:Tex-Edit:Tex-Edit "System:Utilities:Tex-Edit:Revision History"
-
- Will fire up Executor and tell it to run Tex-Edit and tell Tex-Edit to
- open up the "Revision History" file.

-
- It won't happen until after Hackathon I. We may not even include that
- feature for 2.0 -- it's just a much lower priority task than almost
- all the other things we're working on.

-
- It wouldn't help us much. Almost all of Executor's time is spent in
- code that Executor itself has created, rather than code created by the
- compiler. Executor dynamically translates 68k to x86 code and also
- dynamically builds x86 code to do the blitting to the screen. The
- code that does the translation is already Pentium aware, so there
- isn't much to be gained there -- sorry.
