- We're about two revs behind. 1.99m had so many browser problems that
- 1.99n was largely devoted to fixing those. However, we did add a
- little functionality -- the ability to access more than C: under DOS
- -- and that was sufficiently broken that we had to get 1.99o out the
- door.
-
- Mat was in the middle of the NEXTSTEP port when our first "hackathon"
- started -- this is where Cotton flys out from Boston and we work
- totally on improving compatibility between Executor and various
- applications, since it's possible to get some things more easily done
- with three engineers all in one room than with two in Albuquerque and
- one in Boston. Cotton's plane tickets were bought in advance, so we
- had to stop work on the NEXTSTEP port and run the hackathon on time.
- Mat will be back to work on the NEXTSTEP port in 11 days.
