- Yay. It turns out that Filemaker Pro is the only app in a year and a
- half to have failed due to a bug in Mat's synthetic CPU. I have
- actually tried to figure out the corruption file several times
- previously but it was only through luck that I happened to run
- Filemaker Pro with a debugging version of the synthetic CPU. When I
- did, Filemaker Pro worked. It took me a while to figure out that the
- difference was due to different versions of syn68k, but once I knew
- that, Mat very quickly found and fixed the first syn68k bug (that I
- can remember, at least) in a year and a half.

- Hmmm... I'm not sure what's causing the BadMatch error, but I suspect
- that you're going to get a "m68k pc jumped to 0!" death with Canvas
- 3.5, since we were getting that with a demo version of 3.5.2. We
- fixed that bug and a couple other Canvas related bugs, but those fixes
- won't be out until 1.99p4.

- Mat is still fighting with the bug that makes Executor unstable under
- Windows 3.x, and we're also still trying to figure out the slowdown
- when opening DOS drives under Windows '95. When we make substantial
- progress on those two, we'll release 1.99p4 which has fixes that make
- Executor work better with Canvas 3.5.2, HyperCard 2.3 built
- stand-alone applications, Quark XPress 3.5 and more that I can't think
- of.
