First off, more about the mailing list, it seems that every time I post a
message to the group, bounced messages from various subscribers come back to
me, sometimes entire digests...which I really don't need...

Secondly, ever since I've got Executor (back around k or l), I start from Dos
6.2...and generally, I forget to install the mouse driver, and it comes back
with an error, and then I type mouse, it installs the driver, then I reload
Exec., but the mouse is frozen. I then exit, and reload the mouse driver (it
says "existing mouse driver enabled) and then works fine with exec. I've also
tried loading the driver twice before starting exec, but no go...no biggie,
but just annoying...

Thirdly, the more serious of problems (so I think)...I was playing around with
different programs, and decided to load up one that'd worked with previous
versions, a game called Iraq Attack. Well, it ran *very* slowly, like 1 frame
per 3-4 seconds, it wasn't a refresh problem. I had to ctrl-break out of it,
then I restarted and loaded up Tex-Edit (an earlier version, because the
version that came with it crashes every time I load it). Before I played
around with Iraq Attack, I had installed several fonts by dragging tthem to
the font toolbox icon. When I loaded Tex-Edit, a message saying "Error: Could
not save current Browser state." or something similar. I clikc ok, and then
see no fonts that I'd ever installed...I exit, and the desktop is blank, all
toolbox icons empty when opened...I think, oh well, and go try to see if
Hypercard works..I load it up, get the same browser error, then it crashes...
I load up yet again, play around, and then quit executor, and guess what it's
final words were? Browser error, couldn't save once more...
any ideas here?
later
