- Yes, you are absolutely correct. Due to a hasty release, 1.99o3
- always prints out many of the debugging messages you'd only see with
- "-debug 10". We'll release 1.99o4 soon; to work around this, you can
- do:
-
- executor > junk
-
- so the output doesn't foul your screen. 1.99o3 has various nasties
- like this, so I recommend that people *NOT* pick up 1.99o3, and
- instead wait for 1.99o4 or 1.99p.

- Actually, Ultima 3 is scaling a 32 bit per pixel pixmap. Our scaling
- code currently only supports up to 8 bits per pixel. This should be
- easy to fix. I solved this game as a kid on my Apple ][...it would be
- fun to get it running under Executor.
