- Hello!
-
- I've finally upgraded to Bleeding Edge Land here from a really old
- version (1.99n, I think?), and I've noticed a couple of things about
- the new version I grabbed last night (v1.99p6):
-
- (1) I have a Mac CD-ROM called "Ultra Mac-Games" (very important! <g>),
- and Executor seems to be able to read it just fine from PC-DOS 6.3
- (it shows up as a Mac drive), but if I run it from an OS/2 VDM it
- doesn't seem to see it. To be honest, I don't know if it worked
- before either, since I'd always looked at it from DOS before.
-
- Why can't it see it as a MAC CD-ROM under Warp? FWIW, the drive
- letter under Warp is Q: (C: through P: are various FAT and HPFS
- partitions).
-
- (2) I notice that the video glitch that happened previously in Glypha III
- is now gone. Yay! Except the program now seems to abort (under
- Warp and DOS both) with the following screen:
-
- eax=ffffffa0 ebx=009bab36 ecx=004b58a6 edx=ffffffff esi=00000030 edi=00000000
- ebp=001ec4bc esp=001ec440 cs=00d7 ds=00df es=00df fs=0117 gs=00ff ss=00df
- Call frame traceback EIPs:
- 0x0005e1ee
- 0x0005e270
- 0x0005e3f1
- 0x0004f3d4
- 0x0004f909
- 0x000d6c86
- 0x000d1fee
- 0x0010a6b4
- 0x000e8b5c
-
- This happens when the first "bad guy" is supposed to show up, since
- I can flap around on the empty screen just fine. But then it dies.
- Hope this is useful!
-
- (3) The "Info" display for a virtual disk is really confusing. What
- does this mean?...:
-
- Capacity: 9MB, 1019KB, 0 Bytes
- Free: 1 MB, 380KB, 0 bytes
-
- This means I have 1MB+380KBytes free, and 9MB+1019KB used?
-
- If so, why not just list the entire quantity as strictly MB, KB
- or bytes? The hybrid combination used above is really weird, and
- really nonstandard, and it's not very intuitive... :-)
