- I can't figure out what's gone wrong here. That EIP doesn't look
- legitimate but there's no way of telling how it got there.

- This makes a little more sense, but it looks like the installer is
- deciding that since you have System 7, it can spawn another task,
- which in reality, it can't do under Executor.

- It doesn't look good. I think we would need to purchase a copy of
- FoxPro and fiddle with it for an extended time before we could even
- tell whether or not it was possible to get it going quickly, but we
- will not have the resources to do that before 2.0 ships.

- I don't like admitting defeat, but if we really want to get as many
- things runnings as soon as possible, the best strategy is to
- productize Executor 2.0 and get some sales in so we can hire more
- engineers. Unfortunately this means we have to make decisions that we
- don't like.
