- Thanks. Glad to know that a 486-50 is fast enough to run it; we've
- cheated and used 90 MHz Pentiums.

- I doubt it's the same problem, but perhaps it is. I won't look into
- this bug until after Executor 2 is out, but the Stuffit problem is
- fixed in 1.99p6, so feel free to give that a try. I did log this bug
- though.

- I fixed a bunch of keymapping problems in 1.99p6, but the
- telde/backtick key wasn't one of them. I'll make this a critical/high
- problem and look into it fairly soon. Let me know if you find it
- fixed in 1.99p6.
