- Hi folks...
-
- Yesterday i thought i'd take a look at the DOS version of Executor,
- upto now i only used it with Linux.
- First of all, after installing the new uvbe51a which enables
- linear frame buffer and the vbe 2.0 extensions the graphics were
- around 50-80% faster even than the E/L svaglib version (which as
- far is i know also uses a linear frame buffer).
- My machines is equipped with an Adaptec 1542C and has 5 SCSI devices
- attached to it, one of them a ZIP-drive, which in the first term
- already works cool. I didn't try to change media yet, but access
- was working.
- But now the real cool part:
- I use on my ZIP drives a sort of Stacker or DoubleSpace replacement
- called jam. This a shareware program which also does on the fly
- file compression and decompression and looks like an additional
- drive. It is even faster than DoubleSpace (to what i experienced),
- and it really compresses close to 2:1, so it's like Executor
- just the way go.
- Well, when i started Executor i first didn't notice, but Executor
- showed me that compressed drive, too!!!
- And i was even able to work with it!!!!!
- I was really impressed as you can tell. So i now can even use
- my hfv files on a compressed file system.
-
- Keep on like that guys, i definitly will buy the update after 2.0
- is out (as they won't take any donations... grmbl... ;))))
