- Oops. I meant to comment after Eric posted.

- Yes, our target for 2.0 is 100 MB of stuff that is potentially useful
- to Executor users. In addition to freeware, shareware and demoware,
- useful includes files in a variety of formats so our docs can provide
- people with examples for how to deal with the different formats.
- We'll also have Executor in a variety of different formats all on one
- CD-ROM. 100 MB may not seem like much, but we're under tremendous
- deadline pressure and we'll only be able to include software that
- explicitly allows inclusion on such a CD-ROM and software where we can
- *get* such permission. The latter takes a fair amount of time.
-
- The CD-ROMs will be in a jewelbox and have a 32-page mini-manual that
- explains how to install Executor and briefly describes how to operate
- it. That will be supplemented by on-line documentation that covers
- use in depth and also has technical information for programmers.
-
- All 1.x purchasers will get the CD-ROM, jewelbox and mini-manual sent
- free of charge.
