- Although Executor will run Microsoft Word 5.0 and 5.1, the installer
- for Word won't run. Even Apple had trouble making that installer work
- under MAE, their Mac emulator for Suns and HPs.

- If you can send us a copy of the image of a floppy that crashes, that
- would help. All you should need to do is say something like:
-
- dd < /dev/fd0 > floppy_image bs=10k
-
- Then you can uuencode floppy_image and e-mail it to us, or drop it
- into ftp://ftp.ardi.com/incoming

-
- That is strange and sounds like a bug in your X implementation.
- Executor shouldn't be *able* to do that.

-
- Yes, our first stab at International keyboard support hasn't helped
- many people. We are getting valuable feedback and hope to have
- something better by the end of the month.

- Think C just doesn't work under Executor. Think C 7.0 gets further,
- but it still can't compile or link. It's fairly low priority, too. Sorry.
