- Hi,
-
- Here's the setup:
-
- I'm running Linux (1.3.12), XFree3.1 (yes I am behind the times) and
- Executor-1.99o.
-
- We have netware 3.11 running, with the nfs-nlm on it. I am
- NFS-mounting all the netware volumes, which includes a volume with all
- the mac software for office.
-
- Unfortunately, I am unable to run any of these programs. (examples:
- word 5.1, hypercard, macwrite, macdraw) because executor doesn't see
- them as executable.. all the files have the "scroll" icon (I assume
- for identifying text files). When I double click on Word (for
- example) it opens Tex-Edit (which is understandable if it thinks it's
- a text file). get-information reveals:
-
- creator: unix
- type: text
-
- note, the % files are getting created in these directories (which
- also, obviously, means I have write permission in these directories).
-
- So, is there a way to get executor to correctly "create" the
- creator/type (or read it from the information that's there -- is this
- a quesiton of getting it to be netware-aware, i.e., aware of the way
- netware stores the resource fork?)?
-
- attempts to change the creator/type (in this case, to MSWD and
- APPL) work (note, if you don't have write permission, it fails
- silently (you hit ok, no warning msg, but nothing changes).
-
- however, after i change Microsoft Word to be MSWD and APPL, executor
- fails with seg violation (note, the icon has changed to some dude with
- a red background (I think that's what it is)). I get the same
- behvaior when I start executor again and try to aceess word.
-
- same thing for hypercard 2.0
-
- so I have no idea what's going on, so I think i'll stop here.
-
- can anyone help?
-
- thanks,
- Jason
