- I run Exec199o5 under Win95 by simply using the 'run under MS_DOS' mode.
- Go to shutdown and just pick this option and then start Executor making sure
- you
- load your mouse first. I found one program worked this way *much* better than
- under DOS (ie pre-Win95)! Also just openning a DOS window (ie C:>) and
- typing Executor
- it again worked for me, expanding to a normal window, the only problem being
- memory settings - check under the preferences option for the Executor
- folder and adjust
- it according to your computer and your needs.(Right mouse button). I have a
- Pentium
- 60mhz 8mb RAM.
-
- I will say I get excited when I find one more program that works under Exec,
- but like most I get frustrated when I get a string of them that don't. But my
- main concern about the ultimate success of Executor is not files but it's
- price ie, what you get for the price.
- Up until Exec199m it was a curiosity, a toy-and exciting; barely worth $99.
- But if Exec2.00 is little different from Exec199o5 it will be a hard sell at
- $249 to the public,
- but not to institutional/educational organizations *if* it fully supports
- at least one popular Mac word-proccessor/DTP and those programs they use the
- most. Even then...
- But as for the public (ie me included), without sound, Quicktime, and
- modem(serial)
- support I would suggest they would think $249 gives you very little in todays
- world of CD-ROMs(gaming and videos), Faxing, and the Internet.
-
- But if I may ask, *with time/money in such short supply*,and * from a
- strictly business viewpoint*, why work on multiple platforms at the same
- time? EVERYBODY knows
- Executors success will come from the DOS/PC world not Linux or NEXT(?). It
- sounds like its more do to personal interest of individual engineers there
- and not a business
- decision. And when you are way overdue on a project I would think you would
- do only what is essential and would contribute most to its/your success.
- Linux?! Next?!
- Criticism?No.Puzzled?Yes.
